Avoid keeping long gaps between your meals, dear, as empty stomach builds up acid. Chew your food slowly and have thoda warm water post-meals.

Chikoo is generally healthy, but if you have gestational diabetes or high blood sugar like I did, you have to be very careful because it has high sugar content. Please ask your gynac once before adding it to your daily diet, just to be safe.

Water breaking can range from a slow trickle to a sudden wet gush. Since it leaves the baby vulnerable to infections, medical advice is absolutely necessary. Contact your hospital immediately.
