You are in your 8th month. Make sure you are tracking baby's kicks properly and keeping your gynac updated.

I'm not a doctor so I can't give medical advice, but my gynac had strictly told me not to take any medicine unless she prescribed it. For any leg issues or piles, she gave me specific safe ointments or pills. Definitely ask your doctor about this calcium dobesilate.

During my routine scans at the hospital, I asked my doctor why I wasn't showing much at 16 weeks. They explained my uterus shape and reassured me. The hospital staff was so supportive, so definitely ask your gynac if you feel anxious about it.

Yes, mild cramps can happen as your body undergoes huge changes. Combined with my awful morning sickness, even mild cramps felt exhausting. Just rest as much as you can, but if the pain becomes sharp or severe, please reach out to your doctor immediately.

It's a beautiful quote and definitely helps you stay mentally strong during pregnancy. But alongside positive thinking, please keep up with your regular doctor visits and thyroid checks to keep your body healthy.
