Actually yaar, false negatives are super common if you test too early before your missed period. But false positives are very rare unless you read the line after 10-15 mins, which is just an evaporation line. Double check the kit instructions once!

My MIL used to try predicting based on how I walked and what I ate, which was sweet but just for fun. Scientifically and legally, we cannot and should not try to predict it. Just trust your doctor's scans for baby's healthy growth.

It is always best to double-check with your doctor before applying any OTC creams! 🌸 Some ingredients might not be safe for the baby. Just give your clinic a quick call and they will suggest a safe alternative. Stay happy! 😊

Look, forget the old way of counting months, always follow weeks. Your doctor will also ask for weeks only because months can have 30 or 31 days which messes up the due date. Just divide your current weeks by 4 to get a rough idea of your month, but track weeks.

The 5th month is roughly weeks 17 to 20, which is the golden period of the second trimester. You will start feeling tiny flutters, which are the baby's first movements. Keep eating nutritious meals as this is a key growth phase.
