Lemon juice is generally safe and helps with hydration, but if you have severe acidity or stomach pain, it can make it worse. I had a lot of complications and reflux, so my doctor asked me to avoid citrus drinks completely. Do consult your gynac if you face any issues.

Staying physically active helped me keep my mind away from such negative thoughts. I did regular morning walks and gentle prenatal yoga, but only after my doctor gave me the go-ahead. Focus on building your physical strength and stamina, it really keeps you positive and safe.

My mother advised me to read good books and listen to soothing classical music during my free time as it is good for the baby's mind. I also started a small indoor garden which kept me gently active. Just find some peaceful hobbies that keep you happy, and always check with your doctor before starting any active chores.

Same here, drinking warm water throughout the day really helped me reduce the gas.

I conceived at 35 and while my morning sickness was absolutely brutal for 5 months, my baby was born perfectly healthy. Just focus on managing your daily health and hydration, everything else falls into place.
