My senior consultant at Max Hospital said a pinch of turmeric in milk is totally fine for daily immunity. But if you have any acidity issues, definitely run it by your doctor during your next visit. They give the clearest advice.

Didi recommends wearing loose, full-sleeved cotton clothes and using a mosquito net first. If you must use repellent, choose a mild skin cream with low DEET or natural ones like citronella, but avoid strong chemical sprays in closed rooms.

After the baby arrives, please give yourself time to heal both physically and emotionally. The postpartum phase can bring a lot of hormonal shifts, especially if you have had a difficult journey or past losses. Take it very slow and cherish every small moment.

Actually, if your ovulation got delayed due to stress or hormonal imbalance, your cycle will automatically stretch. If you had intercourse during that delayed ovulation, you could still conceive but the test would show negative on day 40 because hCG is still too low. My doctor said that in such cases, a beta hCG blood test is the most accurate way to confirm.

I think light external application is fine, but it is always safer to ask your doctor before taking steam with it.
