No I wouldn't advise you to continue with THRIVE during your pregnancy as it is used as a weight loss nutrition. I would advise you to avoid this product during your pregnancy and also have the supplements which will be prescribed by your obstetrician(iron, folic acid) and also have a well balanced diet during your pregnancy for a healthy baby.

I'm a new mom with a 4-month-old baby, and I'm breastfeeding. I'm worried about finding a safe emergency contraceptive pill that won't affect my breast milk. Could you let me know if options like ipill or Unwanted 72 are safe to use while I'm nursing?

For breastfeeding mothers, the World Health Organization recommends using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), such as Ulipristal acetate (not available in India) or Levonorgestrel (available in India as Unwanted-72 or similar formulations), which are safer than combined estrogen-progestin pills like i-pill; however, it's essential to consult your GYNAECOLOGIST before taking any ECP while breastfeeding.
