Using condoms consistently or speaking to your doctor about birth control pills is the best way. Better safe than sorry!

In my case, I was always anxious about baby's health, but my doctor kept reassuring me at every scan. Even though I ended up with an unplanned C-section, the baby was perfectly healthy throughout. Just watch out for major signs like bleeding or sudden fluid leaking, otherwise you are totally fine.

Eat complex carbs, proteins, and avoid too much sugar or junk. Keeping your blood sugar in control is very important for the baby's organs to develop properly. Focus on raw veggies and home food.

Oh god, my morning sickness was so bad with my first that the thought of conceiving again so soon made me shiver! Technically, you can ovulate and get pregnant as early as 4 to 6 weeks after delivery, even before your period returns. But please give your body at least a year or two to recover fully before trying again.

Oh, the pregnancy heartburn is honestly so exhausting, I totally feel your pain. Mine lasted right up to the delivery day because the baby was pressing so hard on my stomach. You are doing so well, this difficult phase is temporary!
