Yes dear, blueberries are completely safe and actually very good for you and the baby during pregnancy. Just wash them well before eating.

Healing your abdominal muscles requires good nutrition and protein, not just exercise. Since I had to watch my diet during GD, I kept up the habit of eating clean, high-protein meals post-delivery too. Check with your doctor before doing any intense tummy exercises.

It is actually very difficult to hear the baby's heartbeat with a normal stethoscope, especially in early pregnancy. I tried it too but couldn't hear anything, which just made me anxious. It's much easier to wait for the doctor to use a doppler during your visits.

Actually yaar, early groin pain is so real and annoying! It's because of the hormone relaxin which starts acting up very early to loosen your pelvic area. Just avoid sudden movements like jumping out of the sofa, and take it easy.
