You can check if you’ll are pregnant by a home pregnancy test the moment you miss your periods.
You will find 2 lines if you are pregnant. A faint line suggests that you are pregnant too. However a negative test does not mean there is no pregnancy. You may repeat the tests after a few days again, or do a blood test (beta HCG) which is more specific.

Ideally you should visit a doctor about 3 months before you get pregnant, as a pre-conception clinical examination and tests need to be carried out, to see the mothers fitness for carrying a baby. Also, the baby’s health, growth and IQ can be made optimum. However in case you haven’t done that, as soon as your pregnancy test comes positive, please see the doctor.

Medical scientific studies do not show papaya or pineapple to be increasing the risks of abortion. In-fact, in some of the Eastern countries, people eat a lot of papaya routinely and have perfectly healthy babies! For that matter, healthy foods like dates or eggs which are also very nuticious for pregnancy are not believed to be “heaty” by the scientists.

You can!! in fact people who are fit should continue with their routine (except for heavy weights) as long as there is no high risk factor. So do check with the Obstetrician first. Fitness is extremely important, contrary you’re in pregnancy also the earlier to the belief that u have to stop.

Not at all! Sonographies are completely completely safe and there are enough evidence to show that even if a sonography is done daily on a fetus, when these children grow up, there is zero harm to them.

No and No. The reason being that they have not yet stood the test of time..

YES, please. Hygiene is a very very important part of pregnancy, we do not want infections and infestations, so make sure that you wash your hair as regularly as you were doing before pregnancy.

Some vaccines should be taken in pregnancy to protect you and your baby. Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis and influenza vaccines are usually recommended. Covid vaccination is safe and should be done.

Not at all! The ghee that we eat is absorbed in the intestines and stored. It does not reach the vagina. Otherwise we obstetricians would insert it vaginally and have amazing results!

With women leading loner lives, we know that both have their pros and cons. While one is a very natural way of delivering, it does increase pelvic floor dysfunction. A Cesarean can be timed, may be less stressful to the baby, maybe less painful, but is a major surgery. A detailed discussion is required with ur Obstetrician to make an informed decision.

This depends on the abdominal laxity, and there is no study to prove that the tummy hangs or bulges more after a Cesarean delivery compared to a normal vaginal birth…
