When I was pregnant, staying with my parents and having home-cooked meals really helped calm my nerves. But for medication, my mother also insisted that we must only trust our family doctor. Please consult your gynac before taking anything, family support is great but doctor's word is final.

Down syndrome is genetic and cannot be prevented. Please speak with your doctor about the routine NT scan and double marker tests for proper screening.

During my worst weeks of nausea, anything bland made me throw up, but the salty taste of olives actually helped settle my stomach a bit. Try eating a couple if you are struggling with a bad taste in your mouth.

Ah, the famous two-week wait! I tested 4 days early because I had zero patience, got a negative, and then got my positive on the day of my missed period anyway. Save your energy and your money, just wait for the missed period!

I really want to eat saunf to control my nausea, but then I read somewhere online that it can cause issues. Do any of you eat it daily? I'm so confused and a bit scared to try it without asking my doctor first.
