Heavy breasts are standard, but always mention all your physical changes to your doctor during your regular scans. I had a few complications early on, so I became very careful. If you feel any unusual sharp pain or lumps, let your gynac know immediately.

The medical team at my hospital suggested doing a urine test on the first day of your missed period. If it's positive, you can immediately book a blood beta HCG test through their lab for 100% confirmation.

Honestly, reading these scan reports is like trying to decode an alien language while being super exhausted! MCA PI is just a blood flow index for the baby's brain. Just let your doctor decode it for you, don't break your head over Google.

I always say that every pregnancy is different, so never travel without asking your gynac first. They will do a quick scan to make sure there is no bleeding or complication. Safety should always come first.

I had extreme fatigue and breast tenderness in the first month. Sometimes thyroid issues can also cause similar tiredness, so make sure to get your routine blood tests and thyroid checked as advised by your doctor.
