In my experience, my cervix remained tightly closed until my labor pain actually started at 39 weeks. I cannot give medical advice, but your doctor will do an internal check-up near your due date to see if it has started opening.

I am in my 8th week now and I still get mild cramps on and off, especially when I stand for too long. Did you guys also feel this way in your first trimester? My doctor said it's just the uterus growing, but it still makes me a bit nervous.

I had it almost daily to keep my energy levels up. Just make sure to discuss all your dietary habits in your regular doctor checkups.

Yaar, actually headaches are super common in pregnancy, mostly because we don't drink enough water or get enough sleep. Just take a nice nap and keep sipping water, but if it's too bad, please check with your doc.

Beta, this is a very important matter and you shouldn't rely on luck or calendar calculations. Traditional tracking is not safe enough, so please use proper protection like condoms. Go speak to your doctor for safe contraceptive options.
