Shilpi Boloor

I didn't feel anything until a week after my missed period. I just continued my normal morning walks. Don't push your body too hard if you are in the two-week wait, just stay gently active and wait for the test.

If cumin wasn't safe, our Indian kitchens would have to shut down! I have had jeera in literally every meal, and now in my 3rd trimester, it's the only thing keeping my heavy bloating in check. Enjoy your food, it is completely fine!

Honestly, early pregnancy me too many advices milenge, don't get overwhelmed. Raw papaya aur pineapple avoid karo, baki light activities continue rakho. Just keep your gynac on speed dial and do regular checkups.

Actually, the medical standard is to count from your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). Even if you want to know the Tamil calendar terms, your hospital files and scans will only use this LMP-based week system. So always keep that date handy!

Red wine has alcohol and can also spike your blood sugar levels, which is quite risky. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be extremely careful with drinks. It is best to avoid it completely and stick to plain water or infused water.
