Hi munni, alright, you’re in the ninth month, huh? Exciting times ahead! Let’s dive in. First, about food— you’ve got to keep it simple and nourishing. Focus on warm, easily digestible meals. Khichdi, which is rice cooked with lentils, is just perfect. You can spice it up with cumin and a bit of ghee. It’s soothing and easy on digestion. Steamed vegetables with turmeric and ginger? Great option too. But, don’t overload your plate, small, frequent meals are the way to go, to avoid that awful bloating feeling.

Fruits like sweet oranges, bananas, and pomegranates support that vata balance. And drink warm water like it’s your job - helps with digestion and avoiding fluid retention. Oh, and favor warm, oily foods; stay away from raw, cold stuff - they’re not great for your doshas right now.

Now, for exercise… gentle is key. You know, walking is your buddy here, just a calm 30-minute stroll twice a day maybe. Prenatal yoga could be nice but avoid anything that’s aggressive or causes discomfort - we need you soothing and relaxed, not stressed.

About labor - it varies, no real ‘given date’ sticks usually. Baby comes when baby decides - let nature lead, rather than the clock or calendar. If past due, your doc might check for any risk, though it’s pretty common for the first-timers to go over their due date a bit. Just keep in touch with your healthcare provider, you know?

Risk factors like lack of amniotic fluid or fetal distress might necessitate more care. But usually no need to panic, just stay observant about baby’s movements. If anything feels off, seeking medical advice immediately is the best call. Now, relax, and enjoy these last days of the journey.
