When we were planning, my parents gently suggested that both of us should focus on a healthy lifestyle. My husband stopped drinking completely for a few months, and it really gave us peace of mind.

I felt so connected to my baby when I saw those first few drops of liquid gold in my 8th month. It is such a beautiful process of motherhood.

I focused on greens, legumes and lean protein for iron since I had to watch sugar. Jaggery and dates I kept limited because of that. Pair iron foods with citrus and you absorb more, my dietician told me.

Haan it happens, called sympathy pregnancy. My husband gained more weight than me lol.

Raw papaya was the only one i avoided. Rest all fine for me.
