My doctor and hospital nutritionist put me on a high-protein diet with customized protein shakes to help baby's growth in the third trimester. I'd highly suggest asking your hospital staff for a proper diet chart.

Real contractions are rhythmic, so start timing them on an app when they begin. If they are coming every 5 minutes and lasting for a minute, grab your hospital bag and head out.

Honestly, just skip it. Raw papaya and its enzymes are known to be risky, why even take the chance? If you have acidity or digestion issues, just ask your doctor for a safe antacid instead of experimenting with supplements.

My doctor strictly told me that fever in pregnancy should never be ignored as it can affect the amniotic fluid. Please call your OB-GYN right away, and only take what they prescribe.

Look, don't waste money on fancy padded ones right now. Just buy simple, non-wired cotton front-open or feeding bras, they will last you post-delivery also. Buy one or two sizes bigger than your pre-pregnancy size, and make sure the band is wide so it doesn't dig into your skin.
