Scientifically, an increase in thin, milky-white vaginal discharge (called leukorrhea) is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. My doctor told me it happens because of increased estrogen levels and blood flow to the pelvic area to prevent any infections. However, if the mucus is green, yellow, or clumpy, it could be an infection, so keep an eye on that.

Yes, even a drop can result in pregnancy. If you aren't planning a family yet, remember that scans and hospital delivery costs these days are very high. Buy a basic 50-rupee kit to confirm first before booking expensive doctor appointments.

It's purely a matter of genetics and chance, nothing to do with what you eat or do. I know there are many old myths about diets to conceive a boy or girl, but please don't fall for them as they can affect your nutritional health. Just eat healthy!

My saas always suggested drinking warm water to relieve gas pain. But she also insisted that if pain is severe or constant, we must go to the clinic immediately.

I had terrible leg cramps till last month before my delivery. My mom used to give me a gentle mustard oil massage before sleeping, which worked like magic. Just make sure you are drinking enough water and not standing for too long.
