Gitanjali Bajpai

My saas was very worried when she heard I had thyroid, thinking we won't be able to have a baby. But my doctor explained that just taking one small pill every morning on an empty stomach keeps it under control. We conceived easily after my levels became normal.

I felt so anxious when I saw dark yellow urine early in my pregnancy, thinking something was wrong with my baby. But then I realized I was barely drinking water because of my nausea. Once I started taking small sips of water, it got normal.

Look, raw papaya is definitely a big NO because it can cause contractions. Don't listen to random internet advice, just avoid it completely till your delivery. Why take unwanted risks when you have so many other fruits to eat?

I used coconut oil and a bit of almond oil regularly from second trimester. It kept the itching down and skin supple. It doesn't magically erase them but the skin stays healthy.
