My toddler is two now, but I remember how nervous my husband and I were about office announcements. Honestly, wait till the 3rd month scan is done and then just have a direct chat with the manager. People are generally very supportive and happy, so don't worry at all!

Aloo methi parathas with white butter were my absolute favorite! Go ahead and eat it, but just be ready for the extra gas. As if baby wasn't giving enough acidity already!

Just buy a standard Prega News or any simple home test kit from the chemist. Test with your first morning urine because it has the highest hormone levels. If there are two pink lines, it means you are pregnant!

For me, the extreme fatigue started even before my missed period—I could literally sleep standing up! If you are suddenly feeling like a zombie who wants to nap 24/7, it might be your first sign. Enjoy the sleep now because it's gone once the baby arrives!

I was very anxious about everything, but my doctor reassured me that cutting hair has zero impact on the baby. Just avoid any strong chemical straighteners or hair dyes.
