At my hospital, the dietician mentioned that aversions are just due to the high hCG hormone which starts dropping after week 12. They advised me not to stress about a balanced diet in the first trimester and just eat whatever is palatable. Definitely ask your own hospital team for a customized pregnancy diet plan.

Unless you want your baby to get a little electric shock dance, stay away from using TENS on your belly! Haha, but seriously, check with your physical therapist or doctor, don't just self-treat.

From what I know and what my group talked about, it's around 1 in 5 pregnancies that can end early, mostly in the very beginning. It's a natural thing sometimes when the baby isn't forming right. Just trust your body, it knows what it is doing!

Haan beta, it is totally safe and there is nothing to feel bad about. The baby is protected inside a sack of water, so nothing will happen to them. Just take care and be comfortable.

Yes, red rice is a wonderful whole grain option that is safe and healthy during this special phase. I was very cautious about my diet during my IVF pregnancy, and my nutritionist highly recommended it for its iron content. Take care of yourself!
