Kanchan Kamath

I always prefer deep breathing, warm chamomile tea, and prenatal yoga to calm my mind naturally. But if your anxiety is severe, please do not rely only on home remedies and consult your doctor immediately. They can guide you if medication is actually needed for your safety.

These hormones are super important for keeping the pregnancy stable, which is why doctors do blood tests to track them. I remember planning my budget for all those early blood tests and scans, they can really add up! Make sure you discuss these reports with your doctor so you don't end up paying for unnecessary repeat tests.

It is completely normal to have it done twice to ensure everything is fine with your sugar or liver levels. I had a very smooth pregnancy and normal delivery, and my doctor repeated a few tests just to be double-safe.

Please be very careful and do not eat or drink anything in large amounts trying to stop this. No food or herb can do this safely, and it can harm your organs. Please consult your doctor immediately to handle this medically.

I had a bad cough during my second trimester and my doctor actually prescribed a mild nebulizer to help me breathe. It really helped, but I only did it after getting the green light from my doctor. Do check with yours once.
