I am in my second trimester now, and my gynac made sure I took folic acid daily to prevent any brain or spinal defects in the baby. Did anyone else get a bit of metallic taste in their mouth after taking these prenatal vitamins, or is it just me?

It is safe occasionally, but honestly, dry shampoos are quite expensive. With delivery costs and baby shopping coming up, it's better to stick to a quick normal hair wash at home and save that money.

Just had my baby last month and let me tell you, the pregnancy body odor is so real. I had to change my daily soap because my usual one just couldn't handle it. It is just your hormones going wild and it gets much better post delivery.

Honestly, enjoy the high libido now because once the baby is here, you'll be too sleep-deprived to even think about it! Yes, it's safe, just don't overdo it if you feel any cramps.

You can absolutely have kambu! It was my absolute favorite during my pregnancy—I used to make kambu dosas or khichdi, and it kept me active and full of stamina until my normal delivery. It is an amazing natural source of iron, so definitely include it in your meals.
