Don't worry at all, dear. Your body begins making the first milk, colostrum, midway through pregnancy, but active milk flow only happens after delivery. Keep calm, eat well, and trust your amazing body.

In Marathi we say, 'तुम्ही प्रेग्नंट झालात तेव्हा तुमचे वय किती होते?'. I had to fill so many forms like this during my delivery last month!

Don't stress too much about the exact days, dear. It is usually 40 weeks or around 280 days, but very few babies arrive exactly on their due date anyway.

Yes dear, bajra is excellent during pregnancy, especially if you eat it during winters. It gives good energy and is rich in fiber. You can have it as khichdi with some ghee, it tastes delicious and is easy to digest.

My pregnancy tracker app recommended using moisturizers with oatmeal or vitamin E to soothe itchy skin. It also suggested keeping a check on the severity—if the itchiness is extreme and on your hands/feet, you should log it and tell your gynac immediately.
