Actually it's super common yaar, those yellow multivitamin tablets do this. Just keep drinking water throughout the day and you'll be fine.

Travel in the first month is usually fine, but you need to rest a lot. When I was pregnant, I avoided heavy lifting completely, which really helped me stay strong later during my C-section recovery. Take care of yourself.

Since I had thyroid issues, I had to be very strict with my regular blood tests and doctor check-ups even in the 8th month. My doctor told me that tracking baby movements is the most crucial precaution now, so do discuss your personal follow-up schedule with your gynac.

Yes! I have also been feeling my heart pounding heavily sometimes in my second trimester. I mentioned it to my gynac, who said it's common but needs monitoring. Anyone else feeling this too?

The 6th month begins from week 22. Just stay positive, listen to some soothing music or chants, and take care of your health. It’s a beautiful phase as the baby starts growing faster now, god bless.
