Listen to me, don't stress too much about the 'high-risk' label, okay? It just means the doctors are going to be extra careful with you and the baby. Just take your meds, pamper yourself, and watch your favorite shows.

Breast soreness was so annoying, almost as bad as my late-night spicy cravings! I found that wearing a seamless, non-wired cotton bra helped a lot.

Ah, the classic pregnancy immune system strike! My throat felt like sandpaper, but warm haldi milk became my best friend. Just gargle like a pro and try not to whisper-yell at anyone!

IVF stands for In Vitro Fertilization, where the egg is fertilized outside the body in a lab, and then the embryo is transferred to the womb. My doctor explained that once pregnancy is confirmed, the baby grows just like a natural pregnancy. Only initial hormonal support is extra.

My mother stopped me from having raw papaya, sesame seeds, and too much saffron in the early months to keep the baby safe.
