Actually, a physical pelvic exam can show a change in the size of the uterus after about 6-8 weeks, but we don't use it as the main tool to diagnose pregnancy anymore. Just do a home urine test first, then get a blood beta-HCG done if needed.

My doctor explained that the pregnancy hormone hCG takes time to build up in urine. Testing too early can give a false negative. The most reliable time to check is 7 days after your missed period.

Haan na, saunf after food is so soothing for acidity. I also take just a tiny pinch sometimes, it works wonders. But limit me rakho, jyada nahi khana chahiye abhi.

Most pregnancy trackers suggest folic acid is most critical in the first trimester to prevent neural tube defects. After that, doctors usually switch you to multivitamins or iron-calcium tablets. Always double-check your current prescription with your doctor.

My MIL was so excited about the idea of twins through IVF, but my mom reminded me that caring for two babies together is a huge task. Definitely talk to your doctor about whether multiple embryo transfer is safe for you.
