Having recently gone through this, my best advice is to not force yourself to eat heavy veggies if they make you throw up. I practically lived on plain biscuits, lemon water, and light dal chawal for the first three months. Take your folic acid regularly and eat whatever stays down.

Cold milk works like magic for me, but if your acid reflux is severe and painful, please ask your doctor for a safe antacid.

Yes, of course you can have tomato sauce! I used to eat it with my parathas all the time during my pregnancy, and my toddler is perfectly healthy. Just don't overdo it if it causes you acidity.

Melasma is purely hormonal, so please don't waste money on random whitening creams. The most important thing is a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or 50. If it doesn't fade after six months postpartum, you can consult a dermatologist for safe topical treatments.

Yes dear, you can enjoy sweet mangoes during pregnancy. They have good vitamins for the baby. Just eat them in limit and stay happy.
