Forget one kid, my toddler was acting super clingy as if he knew he was about to get replaced by two! It was crazy how he refused to sleep alone. Turns out he guessed my twin pregnancy way before my scan did.

My MIL made sure I had sarson ka saag with makki ki roti in winters! She said it gives a lot of strength, but she always added a pinch of hing to help with any gas or bloating.

I panicked so much when my MIL made jimikand (suran) during Diwali because someone online said it causes heat! But my doctor told me it's actually super healthy and rich in fiber. Just make sure it is cooked really well with some lemon juice so it doesn't cause throat itching.

When I delivered at my hospital, the physiotherapists and nursing staff specifically told me to use the support belt only during daytime hours. They warned that wearing it while sleeping can weaken your core muscles because they don't get a chance to work on their own. Definitely ask your hospital's rehab team for their guidelines.

I am Rh-negative myself and had a perfectly normal pregnancy and healthy baby. My doctor just gave me an Anti-D injection in the third trimester and after delivery. It's very common and nothing to fear.
