Oh that waiting period is so exciting and nervous! I had slight food cravings and mild mood swings. Just stay positive, eat healthy, and test once your period is actually late!

A lot of people will tell you to start kesar, but honestly, always ask your gynac first. Too much of it can cause body heat or contractions. I only started after my doctor gave the green signal in the second trimester, and that too just 2 strands.

I kept checking my palms for redness because I read it starts around the 30th week. If you have severe itching, especially at night without a rash, please contact your doctor immediately. Don't ignore it.

I have PCOS and am currently in my second trimester. Early on, I was so anxious because my cramps and bloating felt different, and I couldn't tell if it was PCOS or just pregnancy. Did anyone else with PCOS also feel extra fatigue and pelvic pressure early on?

Actually yaar, it took nine months for the tummy to stretch, so it will take at least that much time to go back. Don't fall for those magic creams, they don't work! Just focus on a clean diet, light exercises, and honestly, accept the new version of your body.
