Please be very careful with any abdominal pain, dear. If the cramps feel sharp or if you see even a little spotting, contact your gynac immediately. Sending you prayers.

It is such a beautiful yet stressful journey when you are waiting for those two lines. I remember holding my breath every month. Just know that your body is capable and strong, so give it some time and love.

My saas told me to apply homemade ghee on my belly right after delivery to lighten the marks, and it actually kept my skin very soft. They haven't gone completely, but they have faded quite a bit. It takes time, so be patient.

Please do not use any antifungal creams like Candid B without your doctor's advice. In pregnancy, even skin creams can get absorbed, so please be very cautious and let your gynac prescribe a safe cream.

Hey, the wait is so tough, but try to hold on until day 10 to 12 at least! Testing too early will just stress you out, so take a deep breath and don't stress too much.
