Yes, brain development starts in the very first few weeks of pregnancy and goes on till birth. Make sure to take your prenatal vitamins regularly.

I have seen this question quite often on this group. Usually, small corpus luteum cysts are very common in early pregnancy and they resolve on their own by the second trimester. Just get your routine scans done as advised by your doctor to keep an eye.

Please do not rely on symptoms like hiccups to decide. Always take a proper urine pregnancy test and visit your gynecologist for a blood test to be 100% sure. Self-diagnosing can sometimes lead to unnecessary confusion.

Please be very careful with early stomach pain. I had severe pain in my first pregnancy which turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy. If the pain is sharp on one side or accompanied by spotting, please contact your gynecologist immediately without delay.

I just delivered my baby last month and left-side sleeping was a lifesaver for my back pain! It really helps with digestion and reduces swelling in your ankles too. If you roll onto your back in sleep, don't panic, just gently turn back to the left.
