Each reminder can also use its own sound — pick one from the dropdown on its card, or leave it on the default.
Protein target ~55 g/day now, rising to ~75–90 g by the third trimester. Fish 1–2×/week (rohu, katla, pomfret — never surmai or shark).
Breathe gently — never force or strain. Stop if you feel dizzy, breathless or lightheaded. Long breath-holds are best avoided in pregnancy, so these presets keep holds short or skip them.
Sitting still for hours makes ankles swell and raises clot risk — which pregnancy already increases. A two-minute walk each hour does most of the work.
Sizes are averages, for fun — every baby grows at its own pace. ◆ marks scans and tests from the Indian schedule; the full details stay on the Learn tab.
Evidence labels: strong evidence = well-established biology · expert consensus = professional guidance on timing and practice · traditional practice = customary and comfort-first. General guidance — your obstetrician's advice always comes first.
WHO recommends at least 8 antenatal contacts (≤12, 20, 26, 30, 34, 36, 38, 40 weeks). Private practice in India usually means monthly visits to 28 weeks, fortnightly to 36, then weekly.
Indian women have a markedly higher risk of gestational diabetes than most other groups, so India screens at the first visit as well as at 24–28 weeks. The DIPSI test is a non-fasting 75 g glucose drink; 2-hour value of 140 mg/dL or above means GDM. Keep low-GI foods — millets, jamun, whole fruit rather than juice — as the everyday default.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Extra calories needed | None in the first trimester; about +300–350 kcal/day from the second |
| Caffeine limit | Under 200 mg/day — roughly one filter coffee. No energy drinks |
| Iron absorption | Take with vitamin C (lemon, amla). Skip tea and coffee with meals |
| Calcium supplement | Usually started from about 14 weeks, on the doctor's advice |
| Weight checks | At antenatal visits — weekly at most. Daily weighing is not useful |
| Kick counting | Starts around 28 weeks, not before. Count-to-ten method |
| Fish | 1–2×/week: rohu, katla, pomfret, sardines. Never shark or surmai |
| Sleeping position | Left side from the third trimester — better blood flow |
Mood swings are ordinary in pregnancy. But if low mood, worry or loss of interest lasts most days for more than two weeks, it's worth telling the obstetrician — it's common, and it's treatable.
