Arey, unless you are planning to eat a whole 10kg jackfruit by yourself, you are totally fine! Have a small bowl of cooked kathal and enjoy. Just don't let your MIL see you eating too much of it to avoid lectures!

Skin elasticity depends a lot on genetics, age, and how much the skin stretched. Drinking lots of water, eating protein, and doing core-strengthening exercises later on helps. Don't expect magic creams to tighten loose skin overnight.

Haha, be careful what you wish for! We tried tracking everything and ended up with twins, now there's zero sleep. Focus on simple healthy living.

My hospital's senior dietitian gave me a customized chart for the first trimester, emphasizing folic acid-rich foods like spinach, oranges, and lentils. I highly recommend asking your hospital staff for a direct consultation with their nutritionist.

It started as a very gentle fluttering feeling around the 20th week for me, almost like gas bubbles. Slowly, by the third trimester, they turned into proper kicks and rolling movements. Try drinking a cold glass of water and lying on your left side to feel them better.
