Actually, leukorrhea is a thin, milky white, mild-smelling discharge. My gynac explained that it is due to increased estrogen and blood flow, and it helps prevent infections. But if it turns yellow or itchy, do tell your doctor.

Fully ripe papaya is actually fine, but raw or semi-ripe papaya has latex which can cause uterine contractions, so it's best to avoid it completely. I avoided both throughout my pregnancy just to be safe and had pomegranate instead.

Honestly, even I am currently struggling to cope with the daily nausea and fatigue! It's so hard to balance work and this constant tiredness. How do you guys manage to stay positive on bad days?

Look, stop obsessing over weight gain, okay? You are pregnant, not on a diet. Just cut down on processed sugar and maida, eat your normal dal chawal, and do a 20 min walk daily if your doctor says it's fine.

I was actually wondering about this too because my family is very traditional! Good to know we can do it. I guess as long as we don't bend too much or lift heavy things, Bappa's blessings are always good for us.
