Yaar, actually it is absolutely fine and very normal to do it! The baby is tucked safely inside the amniotic sac, so don't stress about hurting them.

My mother-in-law suggested homemade nalpamaradi oil which worked well for postpartum skin. But do check with your doctor before using heavy herbal oils.

Unripe papaya and pineapple are a big no. Also, high-mercury fish and raw seafood. I am in my third trimester now and honestly, I just miss eating sushi so much, but it's worth the wait!

Pregnancy hormones can really mess up your gums. I used to do warm water rinses with salt 3-4 times a day, which helped a lot. Also, applying a little clove oil on a cotton bud directly on the tooth gives instant relief ghar pe.

You are actually lucky, trust me! I had zero symptoms and managed my office work so easily in my first trimester. Just do your routine checkups on time and don't stress about not feeling sick.
