Amma told me to avoid too much spice as it causes heat in the body. But my gynac said a few jalapenos on pizza or burgers is totally fine. Just don't overdo it, keep it simple.

We just started trying a few months ago and sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming. I think it's okay to take a pause for a month or two just to reconnect with your husband.

My elders always say a child is a gift from God, and legally in India, we cannot choose gender during IVF. Please trust your doctor's treatment for a safe pregnancy rather than worrying about the gender.

Honestly, who even has the energy for sex during pregnancy?! But if you do, just make sure you use positions like spooning or woman on top so there is absolutely no pressure on your stomach. Good luck, because once the baby is here, sleep will be your only fantasy!

Unless your doctor has put you on bed rest, stairs are perfectly fine. It's actually a myth that you should completely avoid them. Just don't treat it like a cardio workout.
