When my doctor ordered a thyroid test, my saas was confused because they didn't have these tests in their time. But I politely explained that it's just a routine check for the baby's safety, and she agreed. It's very common nowadays.

Look, in the first 3 months, baby is tiny and doesn't need extra calories. Just eat basic home-cooked food, take your folic acid regularly, and don't force yourself to eat if you feel nauseous. Drink lots of water and rest.

I know how precious every step is and how even small discomforts like itching can make you worry after an IVF journey. If it is mild, gentle moisturizing with olive oil helps, but please mention it to your doctor at your next scan just to rule out any internal issues safely.

With my PCOS history, my hormones were always a bit all over the place, so I didn't see much breast growth until my second trimester. Don't worry if yours aren't growing instantly in the first few weeks, our bodies take their own sweet time to adapt.

Actually yaar, drinking 3-4 liters of water daily and lots of coconut water is the best way to keep the fluid up. But since you are in your 9th month, please check with your gynac regularly because low water levels can complicate delivery.
