Oh god, I used to check my panty every hour in the first trimester because I was so scared of miscarriage! A bit of clear or white discharge is normal, but if you see any red or brown spots, please call your gynac immediately so you don't stress yourself out.

Honestly, trying home DIY tests is just a waste of time and ingredients. A basic pregnancy strip costs only Rs. 50 and saves you from wrong guesses and extra hospital visit costs later.

Oh babe, don't stress too much about how you sit in the first month! Just sit however you feel comfortable, whether it is cross-legged or leaning back. Your body is smart, it will tell you if a position isn't right.

Pregnancy after a major surgery like valve repair is possible, but you will need extra tests and specialist consultations. Please plan your finances and insurance properly beforehand, because high-risk pregnancies require frequent scans and specialized hospital care.

Agreed, it is illegal in India to check or disclose gender. Focus on your baby's healthy development!
