The first week is a beautiful, silent beginning of a new soul entering your life. Just keep your mind peaceful, stay happy, and pray for a smooth journey ahead. Take good care of your body.

Having had a PCOS history, I was always extra cautious and avoided lifting anything heavier than a bucket of water. It's better not to be overconfident during these months. Try to limit carrying weights to under 5 kgs and always ask family members for help.

Lemon juice was the only thing that kept me from throwing up when I was pregnant with my twins, haha! It is completely safe and acts like a natural refresher. Just don't drink it on an empty stomach if you have severe acidity.

I love bajra roti! I'm planning my pregnancy and was just wondering if I can keep eating it, so glad to know it's super healthy and full of iron.

Honestly, once that tiny baby starts growing, your body completely pauses your monthly cycles, so no ovulation or periods. Don't stress too much if you have some light spotting early on as it can be implantation bleeding, but definitely give your doctor a call if the bleeding is heavy.
