Honestly, zucchini is just our humble 'tori' with a fancy English accent! It's very light on the stomach and super healthy, so go ahead and enjoy it.

Actually, gond is warm in nature, so many doctors suggest avoiding it during the first trimester to prevent excess body heat. My doctor said it's great for postpartum recovery, but during pregnancy, moderation is key.

Because of my irregular cycles due to PCOS, I faced a lot of confusion with pregnancy tests. Clearblue is generally accurate, but sometimes fertility medications can cause false results. I would suggest booking a beta HCG blood test for absolute confirmation.

I know this can feel very stressful, but please prioritize your health. Go to a proper doctor or clinic to deal with this safely. Taking random steps at home can lead to severe bleeding or infections.

Oh, my husband definitely had sympathy cravings for midnight ice creams while I was pregnant! Looking back now that our baby is a toddler, it was actually quite sweet how connected he felt to the whole journey. It is completely normal and very common.
