Balancing laptop screen and pregnancy headaches is the worst. I set a timer to drink water every hour and take quick power naps. If it's too severe, ask your gynac before taking any paracetamol.

I couldn't digest iron pills initially due to severe nausea, so I had to rely on pomegranate juice and apple slices. Tell your doctor if the pills make you sick, they can change the brand.

Raising your core body temperature during pregnancy, especially around the pelvic area, can be risky for the baby. While warm stones are used for relaxation, it's safer to avoid direct heat. Definitely consult your gynac before doing this.

I completely understand the anxiety of waiting and wanting to know immediately. But testing too early can sometimes show a negative even if you are pregnant, which causes unnecessary worry. Try to wait a bit, dear.

Yes, test as soon as you miss your period. If it's positive, you can start focusing on a healthy diet early on. I had to monitor my carbs early, so knowing on time was really helpful.
