Look, don't read too much online nonsense. Stress doesn't cause autism, it's mostly genetic. Just listen to some good music, eat well, and stay happy.

Oh god, I used to worry so much about MSG and soy sauce affecting the baby! I ended up avoiding it completely in the first trimester. If you really want it, maybe just eat a small portion from a very hygienic restaurant so you don't worry.

Since I had a loss earlier, I became extremely cautious about everything, including skin care products. I completely avoided all chemical serums and just used homemade honey and curd packs for glow. Please consult your doctor before using any cosmetic serums right now.

I felt like eating liver once but read that it has too much Vitamin A, which isn't safe for the baby. I avoided it completely during my pregnancy just to be on the safer side.

My mother suggested eating healthy home-cooked meals, keeping stress low, and tracking my cycle carefully. We are also trying to keep a relaxed mind as stress can affect ovulation.
