With my PCOS history, I was already at risk for high blood sugar, so I had to be very careful. It is mainly caused by placental hormones causing insulin resistance. Monitor your diet closely and follow your doctor's advice carefully.

Oh, experiencing a nosebleed when you are already dealing with morning sickness must be so scary. Please lie down, keep your head elevated, and call your doctor's clinic to let them know. They will guide you on what to do.

My mother-in-law told me to drink light salt water when I felt dizzy due to low BP. But honestly, we immediately called our family doctor to be absolutely safe, so please do the same.

Extreme fatigue and sensitivity to smell were my main symptoms. Since I also had thyroid issues, I made sure to get regular doctor follow-ups to keep my energy levels in check, as sometimes fatigue can overlap.

I know the waiting is so hard, I used to check tests every month. But trust me, once the baby comes and becomes a toddler, you will miss these quiet days! Just stay relaxed, stress actually delays things.
