I have heard from some friends that hormonal changes can really affect how you smell early on. It feels a bit embarrassing to talk about, but it is actually quite common. I am hoping to experience all these little changes myself very soon, please keep me in your prayers.

I am experiencing this right now at 11 weeks and it gets so sharp when I sneeze! I read it's called round ligament pain. Does anyone know if using a maternity support belt this early is a good idea, or should I wait until my bump is bigger?

I had major complications once due to wrong guidance, so please listen to me and go to a doctor. Do not try any home remedies or local pills. Only a gynecologist can handle this safely for you.

Between changing diapers at 3 AM and having zero sleep, all I can say is check with your doc first! I had allergies too but my doctor strictly controlled what medicines I took. Save yourself the worry and get a proper prescription.

Getting that blood test done is such an emotional moment! It checks your hCG levels and is way more accurate than home urine tests. I remember waiting for my report with a beating heart, wishing you all the best!
