Actually, my doc gave me this in my third trimester because my amniotic fluid was thoda low, yaar. It worked really well, but honestly, you shouldn't self-medicate during pregnancy. Ask your gynac first!

I did my blood test (Beta HCG) about 2 days after my missed period because my home test line was very faint. It was so reassuring to see the numbers. Are you also getting faint lines on your home kit?

I used to eat them with my evening tea when I was pregnant. My toddler is now super active, and I still eat dates for energy! They are completely safe and very nutritious.

Eat it with a happy mind, it is full of good nutrients for the baby. You can make a nice salad or just eat it with a little honey. Stay positive, keep chanting your prayers, and take care of your health.

I got so panicked during my early weeks thinking I had some major stomach infection or appendix issue because of the bloating and gas! But my doctor reassured me it's just normal pregnancy hormones. Try drinking fennel seed (saunf) water, it really helped calm my anxious stomach.
