Tulsi Doshi

When I felt overwhelmed, I spoke to my hospital's counseling team. They explained that constant high stress can affect baby's birth weight, so they guided me on relaxation techniques.

I liked bajra because it kept me full longer and is high in fibre, good for digestion. I balanced it with other grains so my diet stayed varied. My doctor was happy with it being part of my meals.

Yes my gynac said mild drop in platelets is quite common in pregnancy and often nothing to worry. But she watches it through routine blood tests every trimester. If it drops a lot then they look into it more carefully.

If you mean can you choose the gender while conceiving, the answer is no, it is decided naturally and you cant control it. All the timing tricks people share are just myths. Focus on a healthy pregnancy instead.

In India revealing the gender isn't allowed, so no test or scan will tell you that legally. Honestly it's better that way, just focus on a healthy baby. Don't fall for those old wives' tricks either.
