Listen, a small bowl of jackfruit won't harm you or the baby, so don't stress over it. Just make sure it's fresh and well-ripened, and don't eat it on an empty stomach to avoid gas.

Hormonal shifts do weird things to our body, and a dry, itchy scalp can definitely happen. After my long IVF journey, I noticed so many small changes like this. Just use gentle, chemical-free products and be kind to yourself.

Actually, there is no solid research showing it harms the baby, but the chemicals get absorbed slightly through skin. My doctor suggested avoiding them in the first trimester. Waxing or shaving is much safer according to most gynacs.

Yes, definitely! I once cried because my husband brought the wrong brand of ice cream, haha. The hormones make you so sensitive, but treating yourself to good food always helps.

I am actually trying to cut down on processed sugar now itself because I heard it helps with a healthy pregnancy later. It's so hard to resist sweets, but it's definitely better for the baby's long term health!
