Since I had some complications, I had to inform my boss early to get work-from-home permission. If your doctor advises rest, tell your manager immediately so they can support you. Health comes first.

For me, it started around the 6th week when I felt very sleepy and tired all the time. Don't worry, every body is different. Just take rest and enjoy this phase.

Looking back now that my toddler is running around making a mess, I miss those long, empty pregnancy afternoons so much! Binge-watch all the movies you want, take long naps, and just enjoy doing absolutely nothing. You will cherish these lazy days later!

I used to panic thinking my milk was leaking out and nothing would be left for the baby! But my doctor calmed me down and said it's just the body regulating the supply. Don't worry at all, it's just normal hormones and your body won't run out of milk.

Garlic in dietary amounts is perfectly safe and even good for blood circulation. Just don't take concentrated garlic pills or supplements without asking your gynac.
