I know exactly how scary and exhausting that constant burning sensation can feel when you are already anxious. It is just your hormones relaxing your muscles, which is a normal part of pregnancy. Take a few deep breaths and try small sips of cold water to calm it down.

At 4 weeks, my mom made me sit down and started feeding me light home-cooked meals. You might feel very early signs like light nausea or fatigue. It's such a gentle phase, just rest under your family's care.

I ate grapes throughout my pregnancy and had a normal delivery. They are great for hydration, just eat them fresh.

Yes, folic acid is a must-have in the second month. Along with the tablet my doctor gave, I also made sure to eat natural folate-rich foods like spinach and broccoli. Just check with your gynac once so she can give you the correct brand and dosage.

My pregnancy tracker app recommended using a humidifier in the bedroom and saline nasal sprays, which are completely safe. It really helped with my night-time nose blocks without taking any oral medicines.
