Same here, protein supplements really helped with my low energy levels. Just ask your doc to suggest a good, pregnancy-safe brand during your next visit.

To put it simply, when you have unprotected sex during your ovulation window, sperm meets the egg and fertilizes it. If you are trying to conceive, focus on those specific days of your cycle.

When I was at my mom's place, they made sure I rested well but also encouraged me to walk around the house. Complete bed rest is only for special cases, otherwise gentle pampering and light movement are perfect.

Normally we look for a heartbeat around the 6th to 7th week via transvaginal ultrasound. If you are doing an abdominal scan, it might take until 8 weeks to be clear. So don't panic if it's too early!

Mild pulling is okay because of the growing uterus, but severe abdominal pain can sometimes indicate something serious. I always advise people to get a proper check-up or ultrasound done by their doctor to be 100% sure.
