Oh, I was so terrified of eating sesame seeds because my family said they are 'hot' foods. I literally checked every ingredient list for weeks. My doctor eventually told me a small amount in food is perfectly fine, but please ask your gynac if you are still feeling anxious.

Yes, threading is completely safe as it doesn't involve any chemicals. Since I have PCOS, my facial hair growth was always a bit high, so I kept getting it done. Just make sure the salon is clean and hygienic.

Sitting cross-legged is generally safe and even good for pelvic flexibility, but everyone's pregnancy is different. If you have any pelvic pain or high risk conditions, it is best to ask your doctor what sitting postures are safest for you.

I have also heard that hormones can cause breakouts. Maybe try keeping your skin clean with a gentle, soap-free face wash? I'm hoping to conceive soon and learning about these skin changes too.

First trimester means lots of mood swings, fatigue, and feeling like sleeping all day. No need to overdo anything, just rest when your body asks. Avoid heavy lifting and follow whatever your gynac says.
