I'm kind of worried because I missed my period. My last one started on March 3rd and I took a home pregnancy test on April 5th, which came out positive. I also got a BETA HCG test the same day and the levels were at 309.1 mIUml. Can you let me know if these results definitely mean that I'm pregnant? And if so, is there any indication from the HCG levels about whether it's a healthy pregnancy?

I've got a couple of things on my mind. I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's okay to have bournvita milk during pregnancy? It really tastes good, and I'm curious if it's safe for my baby. Today, I had two tablespoons in warm milk for the first time and now I'm questioning if it's alright to keep having it throughout my pregnancy. Another thing, my ObGyn recommended Mothers Horlicks to me but I can't seem to find it anywhere, not even online. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

It's generally safe to have Bournvita in moderation during pregnancy, but keep in mind it contains sugar and added ingredients. 1-2 tablespoons with milk is fine, but you should be cautious not to overconsume. For a substitute for Mother's Horlicks, you can try other pregnancy-specific nutritional drinks like Ensure or Similac Mom, or consult your doctor for alternative options that meet your nutritional needs.
