I remember having these same scary thoughts before we got pregnant! Did anyone else also worry about these small things so much initially?

I used an online calculator first, and it told me to test a week after ovulation, but it came negative. Later I tested on my missed period date and it was positive. Just wait for the missed period, it saves you from heartbreak.

Yes, it is completely normal and safe in a healthy pregnancy. The baby is well protected in the amniotic sac. Just avoid it if your doctor has specifically told you to, or if you have complications like low lying placenta.

Water retention is basically when your body holds onto extra fluids, causing swelling in your feet and hands. I had it badly along with morning sickness, and keeping my feet elevated on a pillow while resting really helped.
