At my hospital, the medical team was very open and gave us a helpful pamphlet about intimacy during pregnancy. They advised that it is safe until the final weeks, provided there's no history of preterm labor. Always ask your gynac clearly during your routine visits to clear any doubts.

Don't rush to test the very next morning, give the little cells some time to meet! Wait at least till your missed period day for a clear result.

Yes, they are completely safe and actually so good for you! I remember how anxious I used to get about every single fruit during my pregnancy, always worrying if it would affect my little baby. Cranberries are great, especially for keeping UTIs away which is so common.

My saas used to make hot, fresh kachoris at home whenever I had cravings so that I wouldn't eat unhygienic street food. Eating it once in a while is totally fine, just don't have too much because it can cause bad acidity. Enjoy it with home-made sweet chutney!

My mother-in-law advised eating healthy ragi and traditional foods to strengthen the body, which was very helpful. But my doctor explained the exact math: having intercourse during the 5 days before ovulation and on the ovulation day itself is crucial. We used ovulation test kits to find the exact days, and it worked beautifully.
