Actually it is totally fine yaar, unless your doctor has specifically asked you to take bed rest. I used to climb stairs daily to my office in my first trimester. Just step carefully, don't rush, and wear comfortable flat shoes.

Riding a two-wheeler is quite risky due to sudden brakes and bad roads. Try walking for exercise instead if your doctor allows, and use safer transport for commuting.

Actually, even I was confused about this when we started planning. A pap smear is different, dear. For pregnancy, we have to use the home test kit or get a blood test done.

Looking back at my pregnancy photos, my belly only started popping around the 5th month, and that's when the weight gain kicked in. Now that my son is a toddler running around, I realize how much I stressed over nothing. Enjoy your sleep while you can!

During my recovery, my doctor emphasized how sensitive our bodies are to strong drugs. Levamisole is quite a strong medication and is usually avoided in pregnancy. Please call your gynac to discuss what's going on so they can treat you safely.
