I'm in my first trimester and I am having the worst nights of my life. I have difficulty sleeping and I feel dizzy during the night. Is this normal? How do I beat this?

Try to avoid late food intake. Take a glass of warm milk before going to bed. Alleviate yr pillow a lottle higher so that you will feel better.

I am 20 weeks pregnant and suddenly craving for lehsun achaar (garlic pickle). Do my cravings means anything? Do I have some deficiency?

Craving for pickle refers to deficiency of sodium in some women. During pregnancy, an increase in your progesterone level can also cause you to lose more sodium in your urine, so your body may be trying to replace that. If you suffer from morning sickness, that could deplete your sodium levels as well.

Is there anything we can do to control the gender of the baby?

I haven't heard of any if it's really 'controlling the gender' you wanna know. But perhaps there are said ways to 'help' you conceive a baby boy. You might wanna read this and get some idea: http://sg.theasianparent.com/how-to-conceive-a-baby-boy/

Can I use mehendi to colour my hair during pregnancy?

these days there are various types of mehendi that are available in the market. while some of them are natural some also have added chemicals in them. while natural henna is a safe choice and does not contain any chemicals, the black henna is almost always added with some chemicals. this can be very harmful because of the PPD dey in it that is known to cause various types of allergies and problems. i would suggest that if you really want to use it during your pregnancy, use the natural henna and even then, colour only from the mid-length till the tips, and completely avoid the scalp and roots.

She even wrote about the hospital tour. Great post for information on Mount Alvernia. :)

I am quite fond of makeup but somebody recently told me that I shouldn't do so during my pregnancy (I am 2 months pregnant). Is there any truth to it? Should I shun wearing makeup?

I wouldn't say shun completely but there are ingredients that you should look out for and avoid in your current stash of make up. For example, parabens have been linked to birth defects, miscarriage and reproductive problems while Phthalates are known to alter hormone levels. A popular adage I've also heard is to avoid red lipstick as some were found to have traces of lead in their formulations. I don't know anyone who has given up make up completely during pregnancy but instead they reduce the amount worn. Instead of the usual full blown glam, perhaps you can consider a toned down natural look with organic cosmetics?

I have a thyroid problem and I am worried that my baby would get it too. What tests should I get done to ensure that all is well？

TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) tests are routinely ordered for newborns as part of the screening program to diagnose the thyroid disorder and enable the treatment of infants with congenital (present at birth) hypothyroidism. THS test is a common blood test used to evaluate how well the thyroid gland is working. The thyroid gland is located at the lower front of the neck. TSH is produced by the pituitary, a pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain.

Can 3mths+ pregnant woman start to drink fish & papaya soup to stimulate breast milk?

I'm not sure if it will help to stimulate breast milk. However, it is nutritious and there is certainly no harm in adding it as part of your pregnancy diet. Here is an article with a list of soup that you can consider making during your pregnancy: http://www.thechinesesouplady.com/pregnancy-soups/
