You can eat beetroot, spinach, apples, and dry fruits to boost iron naturally. But remember, home remedies alone cannot cure severe anemia in pregnancy. Please consult your doctor for proper iron tablets, especially if you feel dizzy or very weak.

Eating healthy is great, but make sure your regular blood levels like thyroid and iron are in check. If thyroid is off, immunity feels low. Regular doctor follow-ups are the best way to monitor this.

Personally, I took a test on the very first day of my missed period and got a faint line. I waited another three days to take another test just to be absolutely sure. For me, waiting for the missed period date worked best.

Oh, muscle cramps are like a free gift that comes with pregnancy, especially when you are carrying twins like I did! Your body is carrying so much extra weight and the calcium levels also drop. Just stretch your toes upwards instead of pointing them down, it really works!

Beta, always eat freshly prepared warm food. Avoid stale food, ice-cold drinks, and papayas. Drink coconut water daily in the morning, it is very good for your health.
