Listen to me, while tubal ligation or nasbandi is almost 100% permanent, there is a very tiny chance of failure. If you have missed your period, please don't ignore it. Do a home test today and visit your gynac, as there can sometimes be a risk of ectopic pregnancy.

It's very simple. Warm up a glass of milk, throw in 2 strands of kesar, and let it sit for 5 minutes so the color bleeds. Don't add too much kesar, maximum 2-3 strands are enough. I drank this in my third trimester, it's quite relaxing.

With my PCOS background, I tried to stay away from processed foods as much as possible to avoid inflammation and extra weight gain. Having cup noodles once in a blue moon won't harm the baby, but try to stick to whole foods for daily nutrition.

Dehydration happens fast in pregnancy, which causes a dry throat, so raise your daily water intake. Use a bedroom humidifier if you run the AC all night, as it dries out the air completely. If it doesn't improve, talk to your gynac.

Don't worry, ranitidine is just an H2 blocker for acidity and does not alter the hCG hormone that pregnancy tests detect. So your test result will be 100% accurate. However, if you are pregnant, make sure you discuss your acidity treatments with your doctor to get the safest prescription.
