I am always extra careful with any tablet during pregnancy because of my past experience. Please dont take docusate or any medicine unless your own gynac specifically writes it for you. Your safety and your baby's health are the most important right now, dear.

Extreme hunger can happen, but please be careful about what you are eating to satisfy it. I had GD and learned the hard way that bingeing on carbs isn't good. Better to focus on protein snacks like roasted chana and check your blood sugar levels if the hunger feels too constant.

Many times, mild stomach pain is just round ligament pain as your uterus expands. I used to get it whenever I stood up too fast. But if the pain is severe or accompanied by bleeding, please contact your gynac immediately.

Ah, the constant pregnancy burps! Try eating like a bird—small meals throughout the day instead of massive plates. And please don't lie down immediately after eating unless you want to feel like a fire-breathing dragon.

Beta, in our times, elders always said that extreme thirst means the baby is growing well. Drink warm water or coconut water instead of ice-cold water from the fridge. You can also have a little bit of buttermilk in the afternoon to stay cool.
