Eye color is decided by the parents' genes at the moment of conception itself. There is no way to change it during pregnancy. Whatever eyes your baby has, they will be the most beautiful to you.

After our IVF journey, I monitored every small change in my body, and the intense thirst in week 5 was so noticeable. It is just your body doing the beautiful work of building a safe space for your little one. Keep drinking water gently, and take it one day at a time, dear.

I asked my hospital's nutritionist about this during my regular checkup. She said having a small one in the second or third trimester is fine, but to avoid them in the hot summer months. Always verify with your medical team.

Basically: menses chukne (missed periods), malmal (nausea), and fatigue are the main signs in Marathi. Don't waste time researching online, just buy a pregnancy kit and do a quick home test.

Yes, it was one of my first symptoms before I even missed my period! It gets better after a few weeks, but during my C-section recovery, I realized how much the body changes throughout the journey. Just take a test to be absolutely sure.
