Let's be practical, no food can change genetics. Instead of spending money on expensive saffron, spend it on fresh fruits, milk, and almonds which actually help the baby's brain and physical growth.

The doctors always calculate from the first day of your last period. I had my C-section scheduled exactly at 39 weeks based on this calculation.

Kha lo yaar, but don't eat roadside unhygienic ones. A cooked patty from a good outlet is totally fine. Just don't overeat junk food regularly, as the baby needs healthy nutrition too.

People call it 'Tholi Garbhadharana' or the initial weeks. Since I had a few complications early on, I highly recommend visiting your gynac for an early scan to make sure everything is perfect. Please don't ignore any small cramp or spotting.

Honestly, don't waste time doing manual math! Just download a good pregnancy tracker app, enter the first day of your last period (LMP), and it will automatically calculate your exact week and daily countdown. It's so convenient and also tells you what size of fruit your baby is each week!
