I had gestational diabetes, and my doc had me test sugar around the 24th week using that glucose drink test. Be careful with high-carb foods now, and strictly follow the test timeline your doctor suggests.

Yes, you can eat sprouts but only if they are fully cooked or boiled. Avoid eating them raw.

I am still trying to conceive, but my sister went through this too. She lost a little weight in her first trimester because of bad morning sickness and not being able to eat. If it's a lot of weight, maybe u should gently ask your doctor just to be safe?

I was so scared that cutting my hair would affect the baby because of old superstitions! But honestly, it's just a myth and perfectly safe, just avoid chemical hair dyes.

Honestly, I didn't consult before and now in my 2nd trimester I keep wondering if I should have! Did most of you consult a doctor before conceiving or was it a surprise for you too?
