I woke up today with such a puffy face and got so scared. Is this normal in the second trimester or should I rush to the doctor? Has anyone else faced this suddenly?

Eye color is a complex genetic trait determined by DNA from both parents. No external factors or diet can alter this. It's always best to focus on balanced nutrition as advised by your doctor for a healthy pregnancy.

You can actually test from the first day of your missed period for accurate results. I was so nauseous even before my period date that I tested early and got a faint line. If you are feeling sick already, do try to rest and stay hydrated.

My mother always said that when you focus too much on getting pregnant, the tension itself delays your period. While that's true, it's also important to trust your doctor. If your periods are very irregular, do consult your gynac to rule out any small hormonal issues.

I can only share what happened in my case, as every body is different. I didn't see a single drop of colostrum during my entire pregnancy, but right after delivery, it was there for my baby. So don't worry if you don't leak early.
