I just delivered recently and had cooked karela a few times without any issues. Just make sure to avoid the seeds and do not drink bitter gourd juice.

I felt so scared and emotional when my urine culture showed GBS bacteriuria at 28 weeks. My gynac explained it's just a common bacteria in the urine, but I couldn't stop crying thinking about the baby. Honestly, everything went perfectly fine once they gave me the right antibiotics during labor.

I completely understand the anxiety of waiting and trying to find any sign, even by checking your pulse. I used to do the same thing! But please don't let it stress you out; a doctor's test is the only sure way.

I still remember that early anxiety so clearly, every little pinch makes you hold your breath. For me, it was completely normal stretching pain. Your body is doing something amazing right now, so trust it, but always call your doctor if you feel any sharp discomfort.

Just buy a standard urine pregnancy kit from any pharmacy. Make sure to do it first thing in the morning with your first pee for the most accurate results.
