I am in my 18th week and actually had a crazy craving for meetha paan yesterday! But then I got scared thinking if the leaf or gulkand is safe. Did any of you eat plain meetha paan during your second trimester?

Ghar pe my mother-in-law kept telling me to eat walnuts and fish for strength when we were planning. Later my doctor also said the same thing about omega 3 being great for fertility. Sometimes traditional advice and modern science align so perfectly!

Since we have to be extra cautious with our health and immune system, I preferred sticking to simple steam inhalation and warm water gargles. I avoided trying too many heavy home remedies and just checked with my gynac to be safe.

I am trying to conceive and have started switching my skincare to natural options. Kumkumadi serum is a great choice as it's mostly herbal, but I would suggest checking the brand ingredients carefully first.

I think onions are totally fine and healthy. Just wash them properly if you are eating them raw in salads.
