Tripti Namboothiri

Oh my god, ripe sweet jackfruit was my biggest craving in the second trimester! My mom was scared because of 'garam' food myths, but I ate a few pieces anyway and both me and baby were perfectly fine. Enjoy it, just don't overdo it!

Sweetheart, it is too early for a home test. Just enjoy this time, eat well, and test at least a day after your period is actually due.

Don't waste money on early testing kits. Just wait for your period to be missed by 2 days, do the home test in the morning, and book a gynac appointment. Simple as that.

Medically speaking, stretch marks are mostly genetic and happen when skin stretches fast. Just keep the area moisturized to stop the itch, but don't waste money on very expensive 'miracle' creams!

See, those old traditional hacks like salt or oil tests are just myths and give false hope. Just spend a little and get a standard strip test for an accurate result.
