Mushrooms are high in Vitamin D and B, which is great. But when I had bad morning sickness, the smell of cooked mushrooms made me nauseous, so eat only if you can tolerate it.

Normal white discharge is very common, but please be careful. If it changes color to yellow/green, has a bad smell, or is accompanied by itching, it could be an infection. I had a yeast infection in my second trimester and my doctor had to give me vaginal suppository tablets, so do consult your gynac if you feel something is off.

Any form of alcohol, including home-brewed rice beer, can easily cross the placenta and affect baby's development. There is no safe limit for alcohol in pregnancy. Please avoid it strictly.

Having gone through IVF, I was very careful with any medication. Digene is common, but please check with your doctor before taking it. Better to be safe and get a prescription first.

As if back pain and no sleep weren't enough, now we have to worry about fever! 😂 Jokes apart, pregnancy itself doesn't cause fever, it might be some infection. Please contact your doctor right away, don't ignore it!
