Some issues like mild gestational diabetes or small hematomas can be managed with lifestyle and rest, but they don't just 'heal' without doctor's strict monitoring. Please stay in touch with your clinic.

Many moms do it before going to the hospital. Just tell the beautician to be quick and not use very hot wax on your skin.

Actually, I researched this when I was expecting and my doctor said that while cumin (jeera) is good for digestion, packaged jaljeera powders can contain high levels of sodium or strong herbs. If you must drink it, homemade with controlled salt and a limit of one glass a day is perfect.

My doctor at the hospital advised me to eat small, frequent meals and drink plenty of fluids to maintain blood pressure. Always consult your doctor if you feel too dizzy or lightheaded.

In my case, I tried to track my ovulation day using strips, but my doctor later adjusted my due date based on the first ultrasound scan. That scan is what we finally went by. I think letting the ultrasound decide is much easier.
