Haan na, kismis khana bilkul safe hai aur constipation ke liye to bohot achha hota hai. Bas direct khane se achha hai ki raat ko paani me bhigo ke rakho aur subah khao. Hamare ghar me sab aise hi suggest karte hain.

Yes, it is very common, even I had it in my first trimester. My MIL told me to apply warm sesame oil, but I made sure to ask my doctor first if it was safe. She said mild pain is fine due to hormones, but if it gets severe or you see any spotting, please call your gynac immediately.

I faced this in my very first week and the hospital staff gave me a clear list of high-fiber foods to eat. They advised against taking any over-the-counter laxatives without asking my gynac first. Always check with your doctor before taking any syrup or medicine.

Actually, your breasts start preparing as early as the second trimester, and some women leak a yellowish fluid called colostrum. My doctor told me that not leaking during pregnancy is also completely normal and doesn't affect your milk supply later.

Mosambi juice was my go-to afternoon energy booster at the office. I used to carry a small thermos of fresh home-made juice to work so I didn't have to rely on unhygienic local stalls. It's super quick to make and keeps you hydrated.
