When I asked the senior nutritionist at my hospital, she told me that grapes are perfectly fine to eat during pregnancy. Just make sure they are organic or washed extremely well, and ask your own care team if you have any specific dietary restrictions.

In a joint family, you can't hide it for long anyway! My MIL actually guessed it because I was feeling so tired and skipping my morning tea, so we just gathered everyone in the living room that evening and announced it.

I read this on my tracker app, apparently toddlers can sense changes in our body language and smell because of hormones. My app had a whole article on how they react before we even show. Actually, it's pretty common but mostly scientific rather than magical!

Low BP is very common as the circulatory system expands in pregnancy. Try to eat small, frequent meals instead of heavy ones, and add a little extra salt to your diet if your doctor agrees. But if you feel extreme dizziness or faint, please call your gynac immediately.

The absolute best way to handle stretch marks is keeping the skin elastic with shea butter or olive oil. Apply it right after your bath when the skin is damp. Remember, they are very common, so don't let it stress you out.
