While recovering from my C-section, I realized how important prenatal nutrition was for my baby's overall development. Eating healthy fats like ghee, almonds, and taking my doctor-prescribed iron and DHA tablets regularly really helped.

You just count the weeks starting from the first day of your last period, it's very simple.

I know how anxiety-inducing this wait can be, especially if you have had a loss before. Please try to wait until your period is actually late before testing to avoid emotional stress. If it's positive, gently reach out to your doctor for an early scan.

Use it with your first morning urine, as the hormone concentration is highest then. Just put 2-3 drops in the well and wait. I remember doing this right before my journey, which eventually ended with a safe C-section!

It is usually confirmed through a blood test and then a dating ultrasound. I still remember the tears in my eyes when the doctor confirmed it. It's a beautiful journey, enjoy every second of it.
