I heard from my mother that drinking fresh coconut water in the morning helps cool the stomach, hope you feel better soon.

I was staying with my parents in my fifth month when I first felt a sweet little flutter, like tiny bubbles. My mother reassured me that it is completely normal to feel it around 19 or 20 weeks. It is such a comforting feeling, you will experience it very soon.

I also had bad stomach spasms last week and was so tempted to take something, but was too scared! Did anyone else's doctor actually prescribe dicyclomine, or did they give something else?

Yes, they definitely work, but sometimes because of PCOS or late ovulation, they can show a faint line or late positive. Don't lose hope if it shows negative on the first day of missed period, try testing again after 3-4 days.

Mild pains like backaches and leg cramps are normal and can be managed with simple home care. Don't rush to get expensive scans or tests for every little ache unless your doctor specifically recommends it. Keep a budget aside for the main milestone scans instead!
