Test tabhi karo jab morning sickness ya craving start ho jaye haha! Jokes apart, wait for your period to miss first. Tab tak enjoy some good food without stressing.

I had gestational diabetes, so my hospital bills went quite high with extra tests and dieticians. Fortunately, our corporate insurance covered it without a waiting period. Always check if your or your husband's corporate policy covers maternity, as that is the best option.

Yes, a blood test is highly accurate. If you are going for the test, just eat a light, healthy breakfast beforehand so your blood sugar doesn't spike. Once confirmed, you can plan your proper diet with your doctor.

Please be careful and don't take any physical restlessness lightly. If your anxiety is causing high BP or fast heartbeats, you must report it to your gynac. My doctor had to intervene during my pregnancy because of stress-related complications.
