In simple terms, it means a pregnancy that has complications and cannot progress normally, which can sometimes cause pain or bleeding. If you are experiencing any severe cramps or unusual discharge, please call your gynac immediately. They can do an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay.

I just delivered my baby last month, and I had to take docusate in my third trimester because nothing else was working. My doctor told me it is perfectly safe. Definitely give your doctor a quick call to confirm if you should start it too.

Staying active helps with blood circulation, so light walking or gentle prenatal yoga is great, but only if your doctor has allowed it. For low BP, also make sure you don't stand up too fast from sitting or lying down.

Honestly, I was so busy throwing up everything in early pregnancy that the only thing I didn't eat was... well, anything! But seriously, stay away from raw sprouts and unpasteurized milk, and eat whatever stays down.

Traditionally, our elders give us gond laddus, but it is best to have them in moderation during the later months. Avoid them in the first trimester. A small piece with warm milk in winter is usually fine.
