I totally understand how exciting it is to guess who is wiggling inside you! But in India, it is illegal to know the gender before birth, which is actually good. Just cherish this beautiful phase, both a boy and a girl will bring infinite joy.

When I was staying at my mom's place, she used to make healthy baked versions of kachori or fry them in fresh oil at home. It satisfied my cravings without upsetting my stomach. Try having it during the daytime so it digests easily.

Oh yes, your body changes completely. I had extreme sensitivity to smells—even the smell of tempering mustard seeds made me run to the washroom! It's tough, but it's just your body preparing.

Sending you so much love, dear. Your body is working so hard to grow a beautiful life, and these cramps are just a sign of that pressure. Don't be hard on yourself, just rest your legs and let your husband pamper you with massages.

Oh my god, I totally panicked over this exact same thing in my early days and kept googling for hours! Trust me, it is completely normal to worry, but biologically you cannot get pregnant this way. Take a deep breath, you are absolutely fine.
