Occasional half a glass is fine, but don't make it a regular habit. If you want something cold and bubbly, try fresh sweet lime juice with some club soda and black salt at home. It's much healthier and safe.

From what I've read and discussed with my gynac, bending doesn't hurt the baby at all. However, as your belly grows, your center of gravity changes, which can make you lose balance or strain your lower back. Always bend your knees if you have to pick something up.

Ah, the famous kiwi and pomegranate diet! I felt like a fruit shop during my pregnancy. But seriously, keep checking those lab reports with your gynac, don't ignore it.

Staying active is great, but because of my thyroid, my energy levels used to fluctuate. I walked for 30 minutes daily but made sure to consult my doctor regularly. Keep your medical tests up to date along with staying active.

Honestly, don't stress yourself by testing too early, babe. Wait for at least 1 or 2 days after your missed period. That morning urine test gives the most accurate line anyway.
