Looking back, there are so many old myths about eating certain things to make the baby fair, but they are not true. My toddler's skin color is just a mix of mine and my husband's genes. A healthy baby is the only thing that truly matters, so don't stress about color at all!

Let's be clear: mild, dull cramps that come and go in the early weeks are just your uterus stretching. But if you have intense pain that doesn't go away, or any pink/brown discharge, don't wait around. Call your gynecologist immediately to get it sorted.
