Yes, you can eat it, but keep an eye on the sugar content. I had thyroid and borderline sugar, so my doctor told me to limit sweet spreads.

In India, you cannot know the gender during pregnancy as it is illegal. I was more focused on managing my sugar levels and diet anyway to keep my baby healthy.

Ghar pe my mom used to make me a very light warm kadha with ginger and tulsi, which felt so comforting. Staying with parents made me feel so pampered during these sick days. Do try steam inhalation, and keep yourself warm, beta.

I went through this myself, and it's heartbreaking. It means the pregnancy didn't progress in the initial weeks, often diagnosed via ultrasound. Please see a good doctor immediately if you are facing cramping or bleeding.

I had a little light spotting around the time my period was due and I felt so scared honestly. Turned out it was implantation type bleeding, very light pink. But I still rang my gynac just to feel safe.
