Actually, your uterus expands from the size of a pear to a watermelon by the end, yaar! In the beginning, it's just getting extra blood supply and preparing to support the tiny embryo.

Honestly, khus khus is quite expensive and you don't even need it for a healthy pregnancy. Save that money for regular scans, routine blood tests, and good iron-rich green vegetables instead.

I totally understand how stressful it is to choose what to eat when you are protecting your sweet little baby. Just make sure to wash all vegetables under running water and cook them nicely with love. Avoid raw sprouts and trust your doctor's list, dear.

Beta, this is just the baby's weight estimate that doctors check on the machine. Eat well, have milk and ghee, and your baby will grow healthy and strong. Don't worry about these English short-forms too much.
