Yes, definitely check with your doctor first as taking any self-medication during pregnancy can be risky.

My MIL and mom both insisted on giving me haldi doodh every evening for my back pain. It is completely safe as long as it's just a pinch. Old family remedies really do work wonders sometimes!

Brain development mainly needs folic acid, iron, and omega-3. My husband says just eat walnuts, eggs, and take your prenatal vitamins without fail. Don't fall for fancy diet myths.

Yes, a prenatal chiropractor can help, but you must ensure they are specifically certified in pregnancy adjustments. Don't just go to any random clinic. Honestly, consult your gynac first to get a referral for a proper specialist.

Having PCOS made me overly worried about every scan and test. My gynac scheduled the double marker test and NT scan around week 12, which are the main screening methods. I highly recommend discussing these options with your doctor for peace of mind.
