Laxmi Gokhale

I am in my 2nd trimester and honestly, the endless list of dos and don'ts makes me so anxious. Did anyone else feel scared to even stretch or bend down?

Chewing a little saunf (fennel seeds) after lunch and dinner works wonders. Also, completely avoid heavy fried food in the evening.

I eat soaked almonds every single morning too! My MIL says to peel them, but honestly does the skin really make a difference? I am in my 6th month and loving them.

Yes, normal bending is totally fine in early pregnancy. Just avoid lifting heavy weights and take it easy.

Of course you can use it, dear, it is actually great for relieving pelvic pressure. Just be careful when getting up so you don't strain your stomach muscles. Take your time and keep yourself comfortable.
