It is just your body adjusting to the divine soul growing inside you. Those early hormones rise quickly, causing this sensation, so stay positive and take rest.

Honestly, I used to worry that my anger and stress would somehow affect the baby's development, which made me even more anxious! But it is just the crazy hormones and physical discomfort. Try to do some light breathing exercises, and remember that you are not a bad mom for feeling this way.

Honestly, even if fully ripe papaya is technically fine, the drama it causes with the elders is not worth it, haha! Raw papaya has papain which can trigger contractions, so just skip it entirely and eat apples or oranges instead to keep everyone happy.

Just had my baby recently, and trust me, 'baby brain' is no joke. I once walked out of the house wearing two different footwear and didn't even realize till someone pointed it out at the mall! It's super fresh in my mind how crazy those forgetful days were.

I totally understand how frustrating it is to feel sick when you can't take regular medicines, dear. Just try to rest as much as you can and sip on warm water with honey. Your body is doing so much work, so give yourself some extra love today.
