Just like I had to be super detail-oriented with my carbs and sugar intake when I had gestational diabetes, you need to be very precise here too. Yes, OSHC covers pregnancy, but please check your policy details because standard plans have a 12-month waiting period. You don't want any surprises when it comes to medical expenses!

I always prefer ghar ka khana like sattu, boiled chana, and milk for protein, natural is best. But sometimes our body needs extra help, so protein powder can be good. Just verify with your doc once if you actually need it, especially if you have any acidity or bloating issues.

I panicked so much when I had to travel for a family function in my second trimester! But my gynac reassured me that travel is perfectly fine if the pregnancy is uncomplicated. Just take frequent breaks to stretch your legs.

Yes, back pain is common, but you should always check with your gynac first before trying any ointments or exercises. Severe back pain can sometimes be a sign of early labor or other issues, so don't take any chances and get it cleared by your doctor.

Oh my god, even I was so scared of this in my first trimester. Did you actually get any one-sided pain, or is it just normal early pregnancy cramps?
