Sarla Chavan

Listen, unless your doctor has specifically advised pelvic rest due to some issue, normal sex is absolutely fine. It doesn't affect the process of conceiving. Just don't stress your body too much.

If you are planning and have health conditions like diabetes, it is best to test on the exact day of your missed period. Confirming early helps you consult your doctor immediately to manage your diet and blood sugar from day one.

Honestly I am also trying right now and trying to cut down on my daily 3 cups of chai and coffee. It's so hard to quit completely na! Is anyone else also replacing it with green tea or coconut water?

I used to love my cup of kesar milk before bedtime when I was pregnant, and it really helped me sleep. I just soaked 2 strands of saffron in a spoon of warm milk first, then added it to the boiling milk. It's gentle on the stomach and very comforting.

At 36 weeks, the baby is almost fully cooked and taking up all the space, which can make your digestion very slow. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to keep my meals very small and frequent to manage my sugar and heartburn. Keep monitoring your health closely now.
