Eat a colorful plate but don't eat for two, okay? Lots of seasonal fruits, curd, and nuts, but keep a tiny corner open for your cravings too!

I was so scared of food poisoning that I avoided outside food completely! If you really want KFC, please order from a very busy outlet so you get fresh stock. Check that the chicken is fully cooked inside before eating, just to be safe.

I avoid high-sugar fruits at night because they give a sudden energy boost when you need to sleep. Usually, I stick to a light walk post-dinner if the doctor allows, and eat fruits only in the morning. Ask your nutritionist what suits your body best.

Your gynac will check your belly growth using a measuring tape during your monthly checkups. There is no need to try and measure it yourself at home, just relax.

My doctor mentioned that donor egg IVF has a very high success rate in India, around 50-60% per cycle. It is a very common procedure now in major fertility clinics. Consult an IVF specialist to understand if this is the right path for you.
