Kasturi Sethi

Clinically speaking, cooked bitter gourd is packed with folate and is safe in moderation. Just make sure to remove the seeds completely and avoid raw juice.

It can be an early sign, but don't spend money on a pregnancy test too early. Wait for your missed period first, then test. If the discharge has a bad smell or color, you might need a simple doctor visit for an infection.

Oh my god, I used to worry so much about this, thinking the squatting would hurt the baby! But my doctor reassured me it's totally safe as the baby is well protected. Just go slow and make sure someone is nearby if you feel a bit dizzy.

Beta, during pregnancy many things change in the body, so don't panic. Avoid very oily and heavy food so your liver stays happy and clean. Keep drinking fresh coconut water and eat simple meals, but do show the blood report to your doctor once.

I am still in the planning phase but I love reading these updates! Is the baby kicking a lot now? Please take loads of rest and keep us updated on how you are feeling.
