Oh my, jab 1st trimester mein office level 3rd floor stairs galti se use kiya to main pure 1 hour cry ki thi ki kahi safety crash toh nahi ho gayi baby ki! But honestly physical structures safe standard limits are protected, continuous climbs bas fatigue trigger krti hain so fully relax.

I was overweight when I conceived and managed by eating small nutritious meals. I didn't lose weight but stayed stable, and post-delivery breastfeeding helped me lose it naturally. Focus on nutrition, not scale weight now.

No, it's not for every pregnancy. Only if the mother's blood group is negative. You will find out your blood group in the very first routine blood tests anyway, so don't worry about it unnecessarily.

Generally, pregnancy happens when you ovulate, which is about 12 to 14 days after your period starts if you have a regular 28-day cycle. Since my thyroid levels were irregular, my doctor monitored my cycle closely. It's always best to get a routine checkup done when planning.

In our family, elders used to say too many scans are not good, but I trusted my doctor completely. I had 5 routine scans. It is very important for checking baby’s development, so please follow whatever your gynac schedules.
