Beta, in our times, the village mid-wives used to check the pelvic area to tell if a woman is expecting. But now, you should go to a proper clinic and get a urine test done. It is much easier and safer for you.
Yes, I noticed extreme fatigue during my daily light walks even before my missed period. I had to reduce my workout intensity because I felt so drained. But do wait for a positive test before making any changes, and consult your doctor about safe exercises.
Right now in early pregnancy it won't harm the baby, but ask your doctor once to be sure. I had to focus so much on my thyroid levels and regular checkups that I just asked my gynac about sleeping positions too, she guided me well.
Our family elders always tell us to eat fresh, warm meals. Doctor also said commercial pasteurized one is okay occasionally, but avoid street food.
I always checked with my doctor before taking any medication, just like I did for my walking routine. First trimester is very delicate, so please don't self-medicate. Send a quick whatsapp message to your gynac and they will tell you exactly what to do.
