Chikoo is a wonderful natural source of energy and helps with digestion too. But if you ever feel stomach upset or any severe symptoms, don't ignore it and ask your doctor.

I have two kids and have managed work both times. My advice is to keep it highly professional: tell the manager first, outline how she plans to transition her work, and then tell the team. Don't apologize for being pregnant, just be clear about her dates and plan.

Yes, I had terrible chest pain from acidity and panicked thinking it was a heart issue! It is just pregnancy hormones relaxing your food pipe. Definitely talk to your gynac if it gets too painful, they can give safe antacids.

I had horrible acidity towards the end of my pregnancy. My doctor prescribed a safe syrup which helped a lot, especially after my C-section when coughing or acidity hurt my stitches. Definitely consult your doctor for a safe prescription.

Look, don't try to be a hero and suffer through constant nausea. Eat small meals every two hours, keep some ginger candy in your purse, and if it gets too bad, ask your gynac for a safe anti-nausea medicine.
