With two babies pushing down, my bladder had no chance and I got this twice. It happens easily because the urinary tract gets relaxed. Just ask your gynac for a quick test, don't ignore it.

Beta, fresh food is always best during these times. If the mithai has milk or mawa, please avoid keeping it for days in the fridge because bacteria grows easily. If u want something sweet, better to have fresh homemade kheer or jaggery.

Rashes can indicate an infection which should never be ignored, especially if you are trying to conceive or are pregnant. I had a severe infection early on and my doctor had to treat it carefully. Please consult your gynac instead of using any over-the-counter creams.

I was so eager to test because I was suddenly craving weird things like spicy chaat and pickles even before my missed period! I tested 2 days before my missed date and got a very faint line. But honestly, waiting till the missed period date gives the most satisfying clear double line!

My secret was simple: eat, sleep, repeat! Whenever my mood went bad, I blamed the hormones and asked my husband to get me ice cream. Treat yourself like a queen, you are literally making a human!
