Honestly, right now I'm so tired I just eat whatever doesn't give me acidity! But jokes apart, dry fruits and milk are apparently good. Just don't stress too much about making a genius, healthy baby is enough.

Fried rice is perfectly fine, just avoid the roadside stalls where they add too much Ajinomoto! When I was pregnant with twins, my Chinese cravings were out of control, so I just made clean, veggie-packed fried rice at home.

My mother used to make me warm haldi milk and gave me steam twice a day. It is the safest way to clear a blocked nose. Avoid taking any random tablets without asking your family doctor first.

Honestly, if your pregnancy is smooth and your gynac gives the green light, short travel is perfectly fine. Just avoid flights or long bumpy road trips in the first trimester. Take frequent breaks to stretch your legs.

Freshly baked hot margherita or corn pizza is fine. I used to enjoy it occasionally, just avoid keeping leftovers in the fridge for the next day.
