I have read that 'Os' is just the medical term for the cervical opening. It's amazing how our bodies work to keep the baby secure inside.

Honestly, I was so scared that I completely stopped everything in my first trimester out of sheer panic! But later, my doctor reassured me that as long as there are no complications like a low-lying placenta, it is perfectly safe right up until your water breaks. Just talk to your gynac to get that initial peace of mind.

It is absolutely normal, so don't panic. Both of my pregnancies started with this dull pulling pain in the groin area because the uterus grows rapidly in the beginning. Just stop lifting heavy buckets or bags, wear comfortable flats, and you'll be fine.

Light home-cooked Chinese is fine if you avoid MSG and too much soy sauce. But if you get any severe stomach upset or dehydration from outside food, please check with your doctor immediately.

I am in my second trimester now but remember obsessing over my lining numbers earlier. Did anyone else have a successful transfer with a similar lining thickness?
