I'm also planning to conceive and was reading about this! It's interesting how many different symptoms like leg pain can point to pregnancy. Let's see if anyone else here experienced this before their missed period.

My mother told me to drink warm ginger and cardamom tea in the morning, which really helped soothe my stomach. But if you have heavy vomiting and can't keep any liquids down, please consult your doctor immediately. Take care, ma.

My hospital's fitness coach told me swimming is actually great exercise, but only if you have a green light from your gynac first. Always ask your doctor before starting any pool workouts.

Please do not take any over-the-counter tablets on your own right now, even if they seem common. Just drop a message to your doctor and they will tell you exactly what is safe for you and the baby. Rest as much as possible, dear.

You can try doing steam inhalation twice a day, it's very safe and effective. Since your immune system is slightly low, make sure to follow up with your doctor if the cough lasts more than 4-5 days to rule out any infection.
