Usually, going around 6 to 7 weeks (about 2 weeks after your missed period) is perfect. That's when the doctor can do the first scan and you can actually hear the baby's heartbeat, it is the most beautiful feeling!

In the very beginning, you might just feel a little extra tired or have mild backache, almost like your periods are coming. Just rest well and take care of yourself, hope you get your good news soon.

Get it done a day after your missed period if you want quick, accurate results before joining office. You can book an at-home blood collection to save time.

It can indeed cause pregnancy, and if you have irregular periods like I did, tracking ovulation is hard. So relying on pull-out is risky. Better to be safe and use protection.

Mujhe lagta tha agar vomiting na ho toh baby thik hai na? Main 6th week me har din yahi soochti thi aur rona aata tha jab halki vomiting hoti thi. Par sab safe rehta hai, bas body prepare ho rahi hoti hai.
