I ate baingan bharta during my second trimester and it was totally fine. Just ensure it is cooked very well so it doesn't cause gas or bloating, which can be very uncomfortable. Take care of your digestion during these months.

It's best to avoid long, bumpy road trips at this stage. Keep yourself hydrated and rest frequently if you must travel. But honestly, if you feel any cramps or discomfort, stop immediately and call your doctor.

Oh absolutely, I felt so conscious because my face suddenly broke out so badly in the first month! I actually felt like crying looking in the mirror, but my mom reassured me it's just the hormones working. It gets much better later, trust me.

Oh dear, don't stress too much, this is super common because of the baby's weight pressing down! Try to drink lots of water and eat high-fiber foods like oats and papaya (if your doc allows). But please tell your gynac so she can give you a safe ointment to soothe the pain.

They are common, but please check your blood pressure because severe headaches can sometimes be a sign of high BP. I used to worry so much, so definitely tell your doctor.
