My mother-in-law was very supportive of having whole grains like oats and muesli for breakfast with warm milk. It keeps the stomach full and helps with digestion. However, for any Ayurvedic or herbal powders like safed musli, please check with your doctor first.
Yes, you can sit with folded legs, it doesn't harm the baby at all. Don't waste money buying those expensive ergonomic maternity chairs or fancy cushions unless actually needed. Just sit on a regular bed or floor mat with a normal pillow for back support.
