Oh, I feel your pain, my morning sickness started at 6 weeks and was horrible! Try eating dry toast before leaving the bed and have small, frequent meals throughout the day. If you cannot keep any liquids down at all, please tell your doctor so they can help.
I felt so insecure looking at my post-pregnancy tummy, and I actually cried a few times feeling like my body would never be the same. But I realized it took 9 months to grow my baby, so I should give myself at least that much time to heal. Be gentle with yourself, you just did something amazing!
I would suggest waiting until you cross the 12-week mark and get a clear ultrasound report. After my past experience, I was very careful. Just share it gently when you feel ready and secure.
A normal blood panel like CBC or sugar won't detect pregnancy. You have to ask the lab for a Beta-hCG blood test, which is highly accurate even before your missed period. It's best to get it confirmed through your gynac.
Actually, staying away for too long is a myth, yaar! My gynac said alternate days during the fertile window is the best strategy. Overthinking it just adds unnecessary stress, so just go with the flow.
