In our house, my mother suggests chewing on a small piece of dry ginger (chukku) or drinking warm water with tulsi. But if the cough is very heavy or accompanied by fever, I always suggest consulting your doctor first before taking anything else.

I felt so helpless with back pain in my 7th month, I could barely stand. What worked for me was using a hot water bag (not too hot) on my back and sleeping sideways. It takes time but hang in there.

Haan beta, pregnancy mein cholesterol thoda badh jata hai aur ye bilkul normal hai. Ghabraane ki koi baat nahi hai, bas ghar ka achha aur saaf khana khao aur thoda tehelte raho.

I have a bad dry cough too and was worrying about the same thing. Did your doctor prescribe any safe syrup for it?

Oh, the 5th month is wonderful! I panicked so much when I didn't feel the baby move early on, but my doc said it's totally normal to feel it a bit late. You'll start feeling those sweet little kicks soon, so just relax and enjoy this phase!
