It is usually 9 months and some days, or 40 weeks. Take care of yourself during this beautiful journey.

Biologically, a period means shedding the uterine lining, which can't happen if a baby is growing there. Sometimes spotting occurs due to other reasons, but it's not a period. It's always safest to consult your gynac to rule out any complications.

For me, I felt a sudden heavy pressure near my bladder around the 34th week and my breathing got a bit easier. It was such an emotional moment when the doc confirmed baby was head-down!

Same here, we told them right after the positive home test. Having family support early on really helps with the morning sickness.

I've had a stomach bug during my second pregnancy. Drink electral powder water and go see your doctor immediately, do not wait for it to get worse.
