Pregnancy precautions I took- Food, skincare, household chemicals, hygiene etc

Here I talk about some precautions I took during my pregnancy and the first year or so of breastfeeding. Pregnancy is a unique experience in our life and I think it should be as stress free as possible. So instead of obsessing about every single thing I heard, I took some simple precautions regarding the food I ate, skincare products, household cleaners, and hygiene.
I haven't talked about 2 things: exercise and medication; since these two should be supervised by your doctor depending on your particular pregnancy. Please please leave comments below on anything you'd like to add, our tribe of mamas would benefit greatly from your inputs!

Hello there my friends! Long time no see I know! Hope you are all well and safe wherever you are. Through this video I didn’t want to give you a fear of “chemicals”, because ultimately everything is a chemical, even water is H2O. I wanted to share some major pollutants in our lives which we can easily replace with non toxic alternatives. So much love! Vidya.

Hey vidhya! Such a long time! Superb content 👍 so informative! ♥️♥️

[@dishas]

Everything which has shimmer or fragrance in it should be avoided . There is this app called ‘think dirty’ which gives the same information as the website and it’s pretty handy when you are in the store and want to see if something is harmful or not . Great video and all this info n more can be found in the book called ‘it starts with the egg’. This book helped me get pregnant after 2 yrs of trying !! :)
