There is absolutely no diet or timing that can decide the baby's gender. I had gestational diabetes and had to be so careful with my health, which taught me that a healthy baby is the only thing we should wish for.

I read that having protein-rich snacks like boiled chana or paneer can really help keep you full for longer. Maybe you could try incorporating those in your meals.

Beta, don't feel pressured to do intensive workouts just because others are doing it. A gentle stroll in the park or some light stretching at home is perfect. If you feel tired, just lie down and rest, okay?

This usually starts in the first trimester itself due to hormonal changes. If you feel any unusual hard lumps or severe pain, please get it checked by your gynac during your routine visit.

I also panicked when I ate a whole babugosha in my first trimester because my neighbor said cold fruits are bad. But honestly, my doctor told me it's totally safe and healthy! Don't stress, it is actually very good for you and baby.
