I am currently 10 weeks pregnant and my husband and I were also wondering about this. It's so relieving to know it's normal, but does anyone else feel super tired right after?

Yes, definitely! 🌶️ You can enjoy them but don't eat too much spicy food at once. Keep a glass of cold milk nearby just in case you get acidity! Enjoy your food!

My gynac explained that mild pelvic pain is usually round ligament pain as the uterus stretches to accommodate the baby. It is quite normal in the second trimester. However, if the pain becomes sharp, constant, or is accompanied by spotting, please call your doctor immediately.

If you want to delay starting a family right now, that is completely okay and very smart to plan ahead. My husband and I used barrier methods initially, but definitely consult your gynac to understand what contraceptive method works best for your cycle.

Let's be practical: at 37 weeks, you are basically full term. Gentle sex can actually help in inducing labor naturally, but avoid it if you have been advised bed rest or have active pain.
