During my C-section recovery, they only gave me very specific painkillers that were safe while breastfeeding. Before delivery, my doctors were super strict about not taking over-the-counter medicines. Please ask your doctor before taking diclofenac.

Don't stress, dear. Just sit quietly after lunch or dinner and count the movements, but if you feel any drop in activity, let your doctor know right away.

I know hospital visits can get expensive and stressful, but with bleeding, you should never take a chance. Call your doctor's clinic first to see if they can consult over phone. Even if it's just from straining, getting a doctor's advice is a must.

When I was staying with my parents, I told my mom I felt a bit warm and thought I had a fever, and she immediately guessed I might be pregnant because of the body heat! It's very common to feel a slight rise in temperature. But my dad made sure we kept a thermometer handy, because a high fever is an infection and needs a doctor's care.

Yaar, it is actually safe in moderation, but it has a lot of sugar. I used to have it once in a while when I craved chocolate milk, but don't drink it like three times a day.
