I used to count kicks twice a day, especially in my third trimester, to make sure my baby was doing well. It really gave me peace of mind to know they were active. If I ever felt fewer movements, I would drink cold water or lie down, but if it continued to be less, calling the doctor is always the safest option.

Drinking glass of milk twice a day and eating soaked almonds is a great natural way to support baby's growth. However, if your doctor says the baby's weight is actually lagging in scans, please follow their advice and medicines strictly.

During the 9th month, the baby can arrive anytime, so it's best to stay close to home. Just focus on your prayers, keep a peaceful mind, and avoid long journeys now. God has kept you safe this far, just take it easy and rest as much as possible.

Omg, I ate kaleji once early on and then found out it has too much Vitamin A! I panicked so much, but my doc said eating it once is fine, just don't repeat it. So yeah, better to avoid it now.

I know all these tests can feel stressful after an IVF journey, but this is a very routine test. The sugar drink is a bit hard to gulp down, but you can do it easily.
