Please don't fall for myths like eating lots of sweets or heavy kesar milk with sugar to get a fair/cute baby. I had gestational diabetes and had to be so careful with my sugar levels—a healthy baby who is safe is the cutest baby ever!

It is absolutely possible to have a wonderful pregnancy and even a normal delivery with thyroid issues. The key is just keeping your levels in check with regular blood tests. Keep a positive mindset, stay active, and follow your doctor's advice carefully.

Usually, symptoms like mild nausea start around the 5th or 6th week, but my Amma told me some women feel nothing at all. It is different for everyone. As long as your gynecologist says the early scans are normal, there is nothing to worry about.

No connection at all. Just like doing light prenatal yoga doesn't depend on how flexible you are, pregnancy doesn't depend on anatomy size either.

Don't stress too much about the scale every week. Most of the weight gain happens in the 2nd and 3rd trimester anyway. Just focus on balanced meals so you have the energy to work and manage daily tasks.
