Oh dear, I totally understand how nerve-wracking that dull ache can be when you are hoping for positive news. It is very common to feel mild period-like cramps as your tiny baby is making a home inside you, stay calm and take care!

Palpable just means that the doctor can feel the baby or your uterus by touching your belly. It is a very normal term they use during checkups. Don't worry at all.

Sometimes extreme nausea can also be linked to hormonal imbalances like thyroid fluctuations. Keep up with your routine doctor check-ups and blood tests. For daily relief, try eating dry toast or biscuits before even getting out of bed in the morning.

Haha, my skincare during pregnancy was just "pregnancy glow" (which was actually just sweat and oil)! Seriously, brands like Sebamed, Mamaearth, or Cetaphil are super safe. Just lock your expensive retinol serum away for a few months!

I craved prawns so much and panicked after reading scary things online! But my doctor reassured me that thoroughly cooked prawns are safe and healthy. Just make sure they aren't raw at all.
