Yes, you can eat it. Just make it at home and avoid eating too much outside oil.

Pregnancy glow is great but the pigmentation can be annoying! I asked my doctor about kojic acid, and she told me to avoid it and stick to a simple, mild cleanser. My skin cleared up beautifully on its own after my normal delivery, so don't stress about it too much right now.

During my pregnancy, I felt so much comfort eating juicy watermelon in the afternoons. It literally felt like a cooling hug for my stomach when nothing else would stay down. It's safe and honestly so gentle on the belly.

I was always terrified of any complications, so I made sure to track my water intake very carefully. Dehydration can sometimes trigger early contractions or low fluid levels, which can be scary. Please take care of yourself and try to drink coconut water too if plain water feels boring.

The standard medical advice is to wait 14 days post-IUI for a urine test, or get a beta hCG blood test as scheduled by your fertility clinic. Doing it earlier can lead to false positives due to the medication. Trust your doctor's timeline.
