Our elders suggest tying a cotton sari around the belly gently for support after delivery, which helped me feel held together. For actual toning, start light walking once you feel strong. But if you have any severe back pain or incision pain, please see your doctor.

Don't rush to test the very next day, it won't show anything. Wait for at least 4-5 days after implantation, or better yet, wait till your period date. Keep some patience, it helps.

I used to drink tender coconut water in the mornings, which kept my stomach cool. Also, try not to lie down immediately after eating your meals.

For normal white discharge, just wearing comfortable cotton underwear and changing them twice a day works wonders. Avoid using fancy scented washes as they cause irritation. Simple hygiene is the best and cheapest solution.

Even post my C-section, car rides with bumps were quite uncomfortable. During pregnancy, always keep a pillow behind your back and tell the driver to go very gently on speed breakers.
