Honestly, I'm in my 3rd trimester and can barely bend over, but let me tell you, those natural salt or sugar tests are totally useless! Save your energy and just buy a regular 50 rupee test kit from the chemist. It's the only thing that actually works!

Yes, my nutritionist at the hospital highly recommended chickpeas for protein. She told me to include them in salads or soups. If you have severe gestational acidity, you can ask your hospital dietician for a customized diet chart.

Yes, a mild milky white discharge is very common in early pregnancy, totally normal. I had it both times. As long as it is odourless and not causing itching, it is fine.

Haan a small piece is totally fine, I had it through both my pregnancies. Just dont go overboard since it has caffeine too. A little square when you crave it, no guilt.

Yes pista is great in pregnancy, full of good fats and protein. I kept a small bowl of mixed nuts and ate a handful daily. Just go easy if you're watching salt, pick the unsalted ones.
