My mother used to say we should avoid fermented outside sauces during pregnancy to prevent stomach upsets. However, my doctor said a tiny amount of high-quality soy sauce in home food is perfectly fine. Just make sure to eat light and stay hydrated.

The foot pain was so real for me during the third trimester, yaar! I actually used to soak my feet in warm water with rock salt every single night. It gave me instant relief, especially after standing in the kitchen.

In our family, elders say very heavy morning sickness means twins, but we cannot rely only on that. My MIL suggested some dietary changes, but I made sure to check with my doctor first. An ultrasound scan is the only safe way to know for sure, ma.

I am planning to conceive soon and also looking for ways to boost my health. Do lifestyle changes like daily walk and green veggies help a lot during early months?

Oh my god, please do not take any such medicine without asking your gynac first! I barely get 2 hours of sleep these days but even my sleep-deprived brain knows we shouldn't take deworming pills like levamisole during pregnancy. Please call your doctor right away.
