As someone who had GD, I can tell you that sometimes even a perfect diet can't prevent it because of genetics and hormones. Please don't blame yourself if you get diagnosed. Just focus on counting your carbs and monitoring your blood sugar as advised by your doctor.

I totally understand how stressful it gets when you are trying to calculate dates and plan everything. Try to connect with your partner lovingly without focusing only on the calendar. Sending you lots of positive vibes and hugs.

Traveling in the third trimester can trigger a lot of nausea and physical discomfort. I had terrible morning sickness throughout and couldn't even handle short car rides by month 7. If you absolutely must travel, check with your doctor first for safety.

No, actual periods never happen once you are pregnant, though some light spotting can be normal early on. I had some light pink discharge in my first month, so my doc told me to stop my prenatal yoga and just do light walking till my scan. Definitely call your gynac to get this checked immediately.

Yaar, post pregnancy hair fall is actually real pain! I just got a cute short haircut, it saved my sanity and looked stylish too.
