It is generally fine, but everyone's pregnancy is different. I always recommend asking your gynac once, especially if you have a low-lying placenta or any pain. Safety first, so better to be sure.

Back pain can also be due to calcium deficiency, so please ask your doctor to check your levels. My gynac adjusted my calcium supplements during my regular thyroid follow-ups and it really helped.

Generally, week 23 is considered the start of the 6th month, but your gynac can explain your exact gestational age based on your scans. Always check with your doctor during your regular visits to see how baby's growth is going.

Craving crab? Go for it but only if it is fully cooked! With twins, my cravings were wild, but I made sure my husband cooked it at home so we knew it was 100% clean and safe.

Between office and managing the home, I preferred keeping things simple and hassle-free. Skip the extra products; normal water is perfectly fine and saves you a trip to the pharmacy. If you have extreme itching, immediately get it checked by your gynac instead of self-medicating.
