Yes, epilating is perfectly safe as it doesn't use any harmful chemicals that enter your bloodstream. However, because pregnancy hormones make skin more sensitive, it's best to check with your doctor if you have any skin conditions or severe pain.

I also panicked and googled if besan is safe when I first got pregnant! But my doctor reassured me it's completely normal and healthy. It's just roasted chickpea flour, so enjoy your chilla without stress.

Don't start testing from the next day of your ovulation, trust me, I've been there! Save your money and sanity, and wait at least till your missed period date.

Please check your ultrasound or blood report carefully, dear. If it is GBS (Group B Streptococcus) bacteria, it is very important to get it treated with antibiotics during labor to keep the baby completely safe. Since I've had a loss before, I am always extra cautious and would urge you to discuss this directly with your gynac.

I am planning to conceive soon and was wondering the same. Do we have to start calcium before pregnancy or only after? Will ask my doctor in the next checkup.
