Just delivered last month! Scan me baby weight 2.8 kg aaya tha, and baby was actually born 2.9 kg. Ultrasounds are 90% accurate in telling the weight. No other home way to know this.

I just delivered last month and had to monitor my sugar daily. My doctor wanted my fasting below 95 and 1 hour post-meal below 140, so do check with your own gynac to see what range they prefer for you.

I felt so overwhelmed managing my health during pregnancy, so I can only imagine how hard it is with Type 1. Sadly, it cannot be reversed by pregnancy. Please stay in touch with both your gynac and endocrinologist to keep yourself and baby safe.

My mother always insisted on giving me aattukal soup for back pain during pregnancy. I checked with my doctor too, and she said it is very healthy as long as it is prepared hygienically.

Most importantly, don't skip your medicines, especially thyroid pills if you have thyroid issues like I did. Even a slight change in dosage needs a doctor's checkup. Do get your blood tests done on time.
