WAIT! 🤰🏽 If pregnancy has turned your kitchen into a “no-go area” because every smell makes you want to vomit, listen! You don't have to stop eating completely. 😭

These simple foods may help settle your stomach and make it easier to eat:

1. Dry crackers or plain biscuits
Eat a few before getting out of bed. An empty stomach can make nausea worse.

2. Ginger
Ginger tea or a small amount of ginger in food may help reduce nausea for some pregnant women.

3. Banana
It is soft, easy to eat and may be easier on your stomach.

4. Rice or plain potatoes
Simple, less-spicy foods may be easier to tolerate when you feel sick.

5. Toast or bread
Take small bites instead of eating a large meal at once.

6. Oatmeal or pap
These can be gentle on the stomach and give you some energy.

7. Watermelon and other watery fruits
If drinking plain water makes you feel sick, small amounts of watery fruits may help you get fluids.

8. Small meals throughout the day
Don't wait until you are extremely hungry. Eat little portions more often.

And please remember: If you cannot keep food or fluids down, you are vomiting repeatedly, passing very little urine, feeling extremely weak or dizzy, or losing weight, contact a healthcare professional promptly.

Your period is late and you have already tested negative for pregnancy?

Don’t panic! Sometimes, hormonal changes can make your period come late or even skip a month.

Look out for these signs:

1. Your pregnancy test is negative
If you tested correctly but the result is negative, pregnancy may not be the reason your period is late.

2. Your periods are usually irregular
If your period often comes early, late, or sometimes skips, your hormones may be affecting your cycle.

3. You have been under serious stress
Too much stress can disturb the hormones that control your period.

4. You recently gained or lost a lot of weight
Big changes in your weight can affect your menstrual cycle.

5. You have acne or unusual hair growth
This can sometimes happen when your hormones are not balanced, including with conditions like PCOS.

6. You are breastfeeding
Breastfeeding can affect the hormones that control your period, making it irregular or absent for some time.

7. You recently stopped or started hormonal birth control
Your body may need some time to adjust, and your period can change.

But remember: a negative pregnancy test does not always mean you are definitely not pregnant, especially if you tested too early.

If your period continues to stay away or this happens often, speak with a healthcare professional.

You think your baby got everything from mummy? WAIT! 😳

Daddy’s DNA can also play a BIG role in how your baby looks, grows, and even some of her natural traits!

1. Her eye colour
Your baby can inherit genes from daddy that influence the colour of her eyes.

2. Her hair type and texture
Daddy’s genes can contribute to whether your baby has curly, wavy, thick, or fine hair.

3. Her height
How tall your baby may become is influenced by genes from BOTH parents, including daddy’s genes.

4. Her blood type
Your baby’s blood type is determined by the combination of genes she receives from mummy and daddy.

5. Some natural abilities and traits
Genes from both parents can influence things like how the body develops, metabolism, and some aspects of how the brain works. Intelligence is NOT simply inherited from daddy alone — both parents contribute genetic material, and environment and upbringing also matter.

And here is the interesting part...

Your baby gets about 50% of her DNA from mummy and about 50% from daddy!

So daddy, don't say, “This baby looks nothing like me!” 😂
Your genes may be hiding in ways you cannot see yet!

The smell of food?
You want to run! 🤢

Your favourite perfume?
Suddenly, you cannot stand it!

Someone is cooking?
You are already covering your nose!

Even brushing your teeth can suddenly make you feel like vomiting!

Mama, calm down! This can happen in early pregnancy.

Pregnancy hormones can make your sense of smell stronger and can upset your stomach. This is why foods and smells you used to enjoy may suddenly make you feel sick.

Some women feel sick mostly in the morning, while others can feel sick at any time of the day.

Try eating small meals more often, drink fluids little by little, and avoid smells or foods that trigger your nausea.

But if you are vomiting so much that you cannot keep food or fluids down, or you feel very weak or dizzy, speak with a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy can really change your body in ways you never expected!

If you are trying to conceive, these 5 changes can happen when your body is getting ready for ovulation and possible pregnancy.

1. Your v@ginal discharge changes
You may notice clear, slippery and stretchy discharge. This can happen around ovulation when your body is most fertile.

2. You notice mild lower tummy pain
Some women feel a small pain or cramp on one side of the lower abdomen around ovulation.

3. Your sxx drive increases
You may notice that you suddenly feel more interested in sxx around your fertile days.

4. Your breasts may feel different
They may become tender, fuller or slightly painful because of hormone changes.

5. Your body temperature may rise slightly
After ovulation, your resting body temperature can increase a little because of hormonal changes.

Important: These signs do NOT confirm pregnancy. They are mainly signs of hormonal changes and ovulation. The only way to confirm pregnancy is with a pregnancy test.

If you are trying for a baby, learning your fertile days can help you understand your body better.

Ladies, some things can affect your reproductive health quietly. You may feel perfectly fine until a problem starts showing. Please don’t ignore these!

1. Untreated infections
Some infections can spread to the womb and fallopian tubes if they are not treated early.

2. Repeated unsafe ab0rti0ns
Unsafe procedures can cause infection, heavy bleeding, or injury to the womb.

3. Ignoring abnormal b!eeding
Very heavy, unusual, or bleeding between periods should not always be considered normal.

4. Untreated fibroids or endometriosis
These conditions can sometimes affect the womb and fertility, especially when symptoms are severe or untreated.

5. Putting harmful substances inside the va**na
Avoid inserting herbs, chemicals, soaps, or other substances into the va**na to “clean” the womb.

6. Repeated sxxually transmitted infections (STIs)
Some STIs may have few or no symptoms but can cause serious reproductive problems if untreated.

7. Ignoring severe pelvic pain
Persistent or severe lower-abdominal pain deserves medical attention. Don't keep treating it yourself without knowing the cause.

Ladies, your womb deserves care. Don't wait until you want to get pregnant before you start protecting your reproductive health.

Ladies, your body can be warning you that something is wrong — but you may mistake the signs for “normal” changes. Don’t ignore these!

1. Unusual va**nal discharge
If the discharge suddenly changes in color, amount, or thickness, it may need checking.

2. Bad or unusual smell
A strong unpleasant smell from the va**na can be a warning sign.

3. Itching or burning
Constant itching, burning, or irritation around the v@gina is not something to ignore.

4. Pain when urinating
Burning or pain when you p*e can happen with a urinary infection or some v@ginal infections.

5. Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
Pain in the lower tummy, especially with other symptoms, should be checked.

6. Pain during sxx
Pain during sxx can have different causes, including infections.

7. Sores, bumps, or unusual changes
New sores, blisters, lumps, or swelling around the ge***al area should be examined.

Important: Not every infection causes symptoms, and these signs do not tell you exactly which infection you have. Avoid self-treating with random antibiotics or inserting substances into the v@gina. See a healthcare professional for proper testing and treatment.

There is no fruit that can make your baby fair-skinned. A baby’s skin colour is mainly determined by genes from both parents. But eating healthy fruits during pregnancy can support your baby’s growth and healthy skin.

Best fruits to eat during pregnancy:

1. Oranges – rich in vitamin C and folate.

2. Avocado – gives healthy fats that support baby’s development.

3. Mango – provides vitamins A and C.

4. Banana – gives potassium and energy.

5. Watermelon – helps with hydration.

6. Guava – rich in vitamin C and fibre.

7. Papaya – ripe papaya can be part of a healthy diet.

Remember: Eat fruits for a healthy, well-growing baby, not to change your baby’s natural skin colour.
