It's generally safe as long as it's kept external and hygienic. Just like my doctor told me to stay active but avoid too much stress or sugar, intimacy is fine as long as there is no pain or bleeding. Check with your doctor if you have a high-risk pregnancy.

I remember eating comforting pumpkin mash when I was pregnant and feeling so nurtured. Your body is doing a beautiful job, so feed it with these healthy, gentle veggies.

I am planning to conceive soon and I've been reading so much about healthy snacks. It's so nice to know kismis is safe because I love adding them to my daily oats. Do you soak them or eat them directly?

Our elders used to say eating certain foods helps, but medically there is no truth to it. I always trusted my doctor’s advice and ate ragi, dry fruits, and milk for a healthy baby.

Don't worry, baby won't come out spicy! But you might end up drinking cold milk at midnight to put out the fire in your chest.
