I spent hours searching for things like this on forums, and it only made me super anxious and confused! Please don't fall for these myths, there is nothing you can eat to choose the baby's gender. Just focus on tracking your ovulation and try to stay stress-free.

I am in my 20th week now and suddenly craving sweet things like rasgulla and chocolate at midnight! I feel so anxious thinking if this will affect my baby or cause gestational diabetes. Did anyone else face this sudden change in cravings in their second trimester?

Bajra is actually a great source of iron, fiber, and complex carbs, which helps keep gestational diabetes and constipation in check. Just ensure you balance it with enough fluids. It's safe, but don't overdo it if you feel too much body heat.

While eating garlic or drinking coconut water can help with mild things, high BP is not something you should try to treat at home. Please consult your gynac immediately as it requires proper monitoring and medicine.

My mother-in-law told me that once the baby is inside, the womb is closed and safe. But I still asked my doctor just to be sure, and she confirmed that ovulation absolutely stops during pregnancy. So rest easy and take care of your health, ma.
