Please don't take any chances and wait until your gynecologist gives you a clear green signal. After my complications, we had to wait for almost 6 months and do some tests. Self-healing is very important before trying again.

Actually, I researched this when I had a bad cough, and my doctor told me that many over-the-counter expectorants are not safe during pregnancy. She prescribed a specific pregnancy-safe one, so please don't take anything without asking your doctor first.

You don't need to join expensive gyms or buy costly postpartum belts. Simple walking at home and eating home-cooked food is completely free and works best. Save that money for baby's vaccines and hospital visits instead.

Beta, if there is no emergency, avoid long flights. But if you must go, 4th to 6th month is best and keep walking in the aisle so your legs don't swell.

Currently in my 3rd trimester with PCOS history, and let me tell you, those gym sessions were worth it! Keep moving and don't give up, your baby is waiting, haha.
