I have heard from elders that coriander seeds water is sometimes used to control thyroid or swelling, but I am a bit shy to try such remedies. Using a little bit of fresh dhaniya in daily food seems completely safe and healthy though. I hope to keep my diet simple when I conceive.

I have heard from elders that we should avoid sesame seeds and hot-natured foods like papaya. I am trying to be very careful with my diet these days.

Beta, don't lie down immediately after eating. Go for a very gentle, slow walk inside the house for 10 minutes. Avoid oily and spicy foods, especially at night, and keep your head elevated with a pillow while sleeping. Take care of yourself.

Oh god, please dont take any over-the-counter stool softener without asking! I kept searching Google about docusate and got so scared of side effects. My doc told me it is fine but I still avoided it and just stuck to high fiber salad. Ask your gynac first!

Sometimes mild spotting can happen, but my mother and MIL always said never to ignore bleeding in pregnancy. Please consult your doctor immediately. It is better to get a quick scan to make sure everything is fine.
