I panicked because my bump showed up way earlier and I gained weight faster in my second pregnancy. My gynac told me it's totally normal because abdominal muscles are already relaxed from the first time.

Hey, don't stress too much about this, it is totally normal to want some time! Honestly, just go see your gynac together with your partner. She will explain all the options like pills or patches clearly so you can decide comfortably.

Too much salt or stress can sometimes cause high BP, but in pregnancy you can't take chances. Get a digital BP monitor for ghar pe so you can track it, and show the readings to your gynac on your next visit.

All I know is my body was busy changing down there while I was busy thinking about panipuri! It basically softens up, but honestly, don't stress about it. Just focus on staying happy and eating well!

When I went to my parents' home for my delivery, my father got a wooden stool customized for me to place over the toilet. It felt so warm to have my family take care of these small details. If you are struggling, please ask your family to help set up a comfortable option.
