Wear aligners while dealing with midnight cravings? Haha, sounds like a nightmare to me! Physically it is safe, but practically, cleaning them every time you snack is going to drive you crazy. Think about the snacks first!

You just need to manage it practically by eating 5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones. Avoid oily food, sit upright after eating, and sleep with your head elevated.

Frequent urination is normal, but if you feel any burning sensation or pain while peeing, please check with your gynac immediately. It could be a UTI, which needs prompt medical treatment. Always be safe.

You might feel slight breast heaviness or mild cramping around your missed period date. Don't rush to buy expensive early detection tests, they are often a waste of money. Just wait a week after your missed date for a standard cheap test.

I used trackers which showed weeks, but for family I had to say it in Telugu months. Basically, 1-4 weeks is 'modati nela', 5-8 is 'rendava nela' and so on. Apps make it much easier to track both!
