I know the suspense is crazy, but wait for the doctor's date. When I had my transfer, I waited till day 12 for the blood test and took proper rest.

I felt so anxious about this, but hearing the heartbeat during routine doctor visits was the only thing that gave me peace. Trust your gynac scans.

A faster heart rate can happen early in pregnancy because progesterone levels rise and your heart has to pump more blood. However, heart pounding can also be due to anxiety, caffeine, or thyroid issues. Take a pregnancy test if your period is missed, and keep a check on your pulse.

Haan na, we all wait so eagerly to see that little bump! Usually, it starts showing after the 3rd month is over. For some, it takes a bit longer, so don't stress, ho na.

Personally, I found wearing only loose cotton clothes and drinking lots of water helped me a lot. I didn't want to use any heavy chemical deodorants, so simple daily showers were my go-to.
