I'm in my fifth month of pregnancy and I've heard that urad dal is good for me. I'm curious if it's safe to eat urad dal papad dough, especially because I like it with pepper. Is it okay for me to have this during pregnancy?

It is generally okay to consume urad dal and papad dough during pregnancy as long as it is prepared safely, cooked well, and eaten in moderation. If you have any concerns or experience discomfort like bloating or indigestion, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider.

I've been having some discomfort in my vagina, especially when I'm sitting or walking after having protected sex for the first time. It feels sore, especially around the vestibule, and it sometimes hurts when I pee. I noticed two tiny white spots near the sides of my clit, which feels really sensitive and sore too. I've been taking medication for a urine infection, but my vagina and clit still feel uncomfortable, especially when I'm wearing underwear or tight clothes like jeans. Occasionally, I also feel air bubbles. Is this something I should be worried about? What might be causing these symptoms?

use cotton clothes.
