Zenia Chavan

Oh god, I remember constantly checking myself in the mirror and searching on Google about this because I felt mine weren't growing fast enough! Actually, everyone's body is so different. For some it starts in the 1st trimester and for others it happens much later, so please don't stress over it.

My mother-in-law was very strict about avoiding outside junk food, but my doctor said having pizza once in a while is perfectly fine. Just make sure it is from a hygienic place and well-cooked.

Don't worry, alkaline phosphatase often goes up naturally because of the placenta. Just keep your gynac in loop and she will guide you.

I can't tell you the exact milligram limit, but I just ate a lot of citrus fruits like oranges and mausambi. I also drank lime water occasionally. I didn't take any extra supplements and my levels were perfect.

Since I had a history of PCOS, I was extra careful and always asked my gynac before trying anything new. If you have a normal pregnancy, just go slow and choose side-lying positions. Always consult your doctor if you feel any discomfort.
