Pregnancy Complications & Travel Experience 🤰 | First & Second Trimester Journey |

Thank you so much guys for loving our last video so much. We got so many comments. We got so many wishes and love comments. Thank you so much for all of those comments. A lot of people wished us on Instagram, Youtube and everywhere. After all this, we promised you guys that we will share our 1st and 2nd trimester experience with you guys. We will talk about how we felt and what all stages we went through. A lot of people asked me how I travelled. How did you travel? What were the procedures? Were there any restrictions? A lot of people asked me if there were any scanners in the airport. If you are pregnant, would there be any problem? There are multiple questions. I thought I will make a video and share my experience of 1st and 2nd trimester. So guys, let's start with the 1st thing. In my 1st trimester, no one knew about it. We were in Romania. In the 2nd trimester, I got to know about it. I was 6 weeks pregnant. I got to know about it through a kit. We did a urine test. After that, we registered the doctors here. We were getting our 1st appointment after 5 weeks. We were getting our 1st appointment after 3 months. I got to know about it after 6 weeks. We were getting our 1st appointment after 1-1.5 months. I told you in the 1st video that this is a normal procedure. It takes time. We were confused. What to do? It will be the 2nd month. I will reach in the 3rd month. Meanwhile, I had to go to India for my cousin's wedding. It's like a kind of sister. She was aunt's daughter. That was the point when we had to think a lot. Do it okay to travel? Many people asked how did you travel? Everyone's journey is different. Through my 1st trimester, I was pretty much okay. I talked to the doctors and got their advice. Earlier, we were planning to take a flight via Delhi. Just because it was my 1st trimester, we didn't want to take a burden. We took a direct flight from London to Amritsar. We had to come back at night while sleeping. I preferred a premium economy as well. If you can afford it, you can go for business class as well. I was pretty much okay. The 7-hour flight, I left while sleeping. I took all the medicines with me. That was the only air travel I did. In the 1st trimester, you actually need to avoid travelling. When I reached India, on the very next day, I went to the doctor. I didn't have a single doctor appointment here. I had to go to the doctor immediately. I had to get all the blood tests done. I had to get all the initial scans done. That was my 1st flight from India. I got it done from my hometown. It was a different experience. You get to hear your child's heartbeat after 8 weeks. I went to the doctor exactly after 8-9 weeks. When you hear the heartbeat, you see your scan. It's a different experience. In the 1st trimester, they give you a scan. In the 1st trimester, there is only one sac in the body. It's not like the baby is born. You don't even know what the initial sac is. You can just hear the heartbeat. At that time, Saurabh was in the scanning room. That was a wholesome experience. When my family got to know, they were all happy. Then I started having complications. That was the hardest part. I was completely at rest. I travelled a lot. After that, I attended a lot of weddings. I travelled a lot. She had some infections. On top of that, when you go to India, you always get infections. It's not a high level infection. It's a cold, cough, and fever. When you are pregnant, you don't get to take a lot of medicines. I was not able to take a lot of medicines. I was having a cold, cough, and fever. I attended a lot of weddings. The weather changed. It was very hot in India. It was altogether a complete change for my body. When I talk about my mood swings, I had a lot of problems with Ghee. When we talked to people, some people get allergic to milk. Some people don't like paneer. She didn't like the smell of Ghee. I was having problems with Ghee. There was a time in India there was a time in India people like Chaap and paneer. I was not even having those. I was completely out of these products. I was not even drinking milk because in an initial stage your mood changes. I was taking more lemon juice. I was taking vitamin C. I was drinking lemon juice without sugar. Don't think that going to India and having food is a bad idea. I wasn't thinking that. I was avoiding it at all. And now I am in the second trimester. In the second trimester, I had complications. Guys, in the second trimester, you have a first scan. That is anti-scan. I will tell you in a short cut. In anti-scan, everything else was fine. But there was an issue. A small placenta position. Because at that time, placenta was being build up. So in my scan, it came that maybe it is going down instead of coming up. That was a bit of concern. So my doctor told me that due to your placenta position, until it is confirmed in the next two months, until it is exactly build up, you need to avoid travel. Because that is going to be risky for you and your baby. And we had to come back. Because of this, I came back. I attended all my office meetings. And came back after a month. So I was on the rest. I was avoiding travel at that time. And I had seen a lot of videos. If a placenta issue comes in the initial months, then guys, please don't worry. I was also a bit worried. If the placenta position goes down, then there is a problem in normal delivery. You can get other issues as well. Like bleeding. But normally, at the first stage, you don't even know if the placenta position is going to happen. But when my second scan was done, the anomaly scan, it was an upper segment. So everything was fine. There were no complications. So due to this, Richa was not able to travel for two months. It didn't come exactly. But I was told that it is a bit of concern. So we don't want to take any risk. So due to this, we did this. And I was asked a question. How was your weight gain? Guys, look. I am telling you a very simple thing. In the first three months, your weight gain should not happen. If you are thinking that I should eat extra. I mean, you should not eat at all. Eat as much as you normally eat. Because at that time, the baby is not growing. There is only one sack. And you just drink and eat healthy. But never eat extra. And in the first three months, people's weight decreases. Because of vomiting, nausea, body changes. Body to body. I will definitely tell you that in the first three months, you should not increase your weight. Coming to the second trimester, definitely, if your weight is increasing by 1 kg per month, it is very normal and healthy. Even if it increases by 2 kg, that is fine. For me, in the first three months, in the first trimester, I didn't get anything. Because I was on a healthy diet. I was taking all the multivitamins. In the second trimester, I definitely increased my diet. And because of that, my weight has increased. My weight has increased by 1 to 1.5 kg per month. So by the end of the second trimester, my weight is basically, I started at 55 kg. And now it will reach 60 kg. Which is approximately between 59 kg and 60 kg. So, if you want to see a healthy weight gain, it is said that during the entire pregnancy, it should be only 10 kg. It should not be above 10 to 12 kg. Otherwise, it is accumulating fat in your body. You will have to reduce it later. And definitely, the second thing is that there is a lot of weight in your body. First, your baby, during delivery, your baby's weight is 3 kg. Approximately. Placenta's weight will be 1 kg. Amniotic fluid, which is the water around the baby, will also have a weight of 1 to 2 kg. Your blood level keeps going up and down. There is a lot of blood. So basically, it is better not to go above 10 kg. Here I have seen, many ladies are also saying that their weight has increased by 5 to 6 kg. Even at the end of the pregnancy. And they deliver healthy babies. Like 3 kg babies have been delivered. So it totally depends on your body. If you are already underweight, then it is very normal for you to increase 10 to 15 kg. If you are in normal BMI, then let's take it 8 to 10 kg. If you are overweight, then don't increase your weight more than 4 to 5 kg. So these are the things that happened to me in the last few months. Definitely, And tell us about your experience of traveling again. As soon as the doctor told me that I am okay to travel now. Because the placenta issue that was showing is now recovered. So you can travel. Now it is okay to travel. So we booked our flight quickly. And then we safely traveled again. Even then we took a direct flight. We didn't take any risk. Because shifting a lot, changing the suitcase, it was very problematic. So we wanted to make sure that we travel safely again. And get back to our normal routine in UK and London. And definitely, if you have a low-lying placenta, or if someone has an issue, there are many videos on the internet. Because it is said that the placenta position changes at the end of pregnancy. And it always goes in the upper side. Because as your uterus increases, your stomach increases, your placenta starts moving upwards. So no need to worry about that thing. There are different things in different cases. So these are a lot of my documents. Which I check every 2-3 days. After 2-3 weeks, they normally check my heart rate and everything. Now I am ready. This was my second scan. In this, they see a lot of things. How much is the child's heart rate? Is the child's brain and heart developing well? Here, I haven't had any scan yet. But all of them are about to start. All of them. Because my file is ready. Now all my fetal growth will be checked. And I don't even know the gender. So we might get to know the gender here. Which is legal here in foreign countries. So when the next scan is done, they can go and ask. As and when it is done, we will let you know. So that was my actual experience for the last 1-2 months. I shared my weight gain with you. I shared my travel with you. If I had any other complications, that was a small thing. What was the difference in your lifestyle after coming here? In India, I used to get a lot of help. I used to get everything ready. Here, we both help each other. Here, when I go to the office, most of the time, my healthy salads, falafel, halloumi, I try to take protein. Guys, one thing. Do take protein in your diet. Which is very important. Don't eat other things. But do take protein. Protein is very important for your body. For your baby health. So I try to take a protein-induced diet. I don't pay much attention to cooking. If I have, I order directly from outside. There are lots of menu options. You can take falafel, halloumi wraps. You have... What do we eat? Hummus. Rajma, beans, lentils. I have lentils in my meals. In the morning, I try to take some healthy protein with fats. Let's do one thing. Let's make another video. What we eat in a day. So that we can show you everything. If you want to see what is my diet, and how I maintain my weight, please let me know. I will make a proper video. In which I will tell you what all I eat in a day. I am also doing a daily walk. It is a must. 10 steps is a must in your pregnancy. It depends on your health conditions. If someone's health condition is different, I will recommend that walk. If your health is normal, then you should go for a one-hour walk. So that's all, guys. I hope you all got this experience If you have any inquiry, you can ask us on Instagram. Our Instagram is richandsoraworld. You can also comment. We will definitely reply.
