Sip on some fresh beetroot and carrot juice! 🥕 Eating pomegranate and dates also works wonders to boost your levels. Don't forget your daily iron pills! 💊

Bananas are excellent during pregnancy, blindly go for them! They have potassium which helps with those painful leg cramps, and they are great for morning sickness too. Just eat one daily, but avoid it late at night if you get a cold easily.

Itchy bumps that look like insect bites are quite common and often called PUPPP or hormonal hives. Keep your skin well-moisturized with a gentle lotion and avoid hot water baths. Definitely let your gynac know so they can suggest a safe soothing cream.

Listen to me, don't panic about these things. Just make sure you don't sit cross-legged for long, and stretch your legs frequently when you're working. Keep drinking lots of water, and if you ever feel any severe leg pain or swelling, immediately call your gynac.

Ugh, coughing with a cold is so painful, especially if u have any tummy aches. I remember how hard it was after my C-section to even sneeze, so please treat this cold early. Stick to steam inhalation and warm kadha, and ask your doc for pregnancy-safe syrups.
