Mere normal delivery se pehle doctor ne NST kiya tha. Ye ek positive sign hota hai ki baby active hai aur delivery ke liye ready hai, isme koi pain nahi hota.

Oh God, I also wanted to take sonth for my cough during pregnancy but panicked thinking it's too 'garam' for the baby. I read so many articles! Honestly, a small pinch in food or tea is safe, but please ask your gynac if you are planning to take it daily just to be 100% sure and stress-free.

Yes, it does. When my reports showed high cholesterol, my mother lovingly told me not to worry as our bodies change so much to feed the baby. She used to give me simple, light home-cooked food, which kept my digestion very good.

To be safe, doctors advise staying completely away from alcohol during pregnancy. I kept myself hydrated with coconut water and fresh juices, and honestly, it kept my energy levels great till my normal delivery. It's just a short phase, you can do this!

Usually, doctors recommend doing a beta hCG blood test 10-14 days after the transfer for an accurate result. Home kits can sometimes give false negatives early on, so patience is key here.
