Stomach bugs don’t usually end a pregnancy, but dehydration, high fever, and severe illness can raise risk and need fast care. Getting hit with vomiting or diarrhea while pregnant can feel scary.

Radishes are a low-calorie, high-water veggie that adds crunch and fiber, helping meals feel filling with fewer calories. Radishes don’t look like a “weight loss food.” They’re small, spicy, and easy to ignore next to flashier veggies. Yet they can play a clean, practical role in a calorie-aware plate.
