Your appetite will return now, but be careful with sweets and simple carbs. I had gestational diabetes and had to monitor my diet closely starting from this month.

With twins inside, my stomach was like a balloon from week 6 itself! Honestly, wearing tight clothes makes it worse, so shift to loose maternity wear immediately. Also, don't lie down right after eating, walk around a bit.

Let's be realistic, we can't survive without our phones today. There is no solid scientific proof that normal phone usage hurts the baby. Just keep it away from your pillow when you sleep, that's basic sense anyway.

Travelling is generally very safe, especially in the second trimester, but your gynac's green signal is absolutely mandatory. They check your placenta position and cervix length before giving permission. If the doc says yes, just take basic precautions like staying hydrated.

Yes, hormonal changes can cause breakouts, but don't spend a lot of money on expensive creams or dermatologists right now. A simple, cheap pregnancy test from the local medical shop will give you the answer. If it's positive, just ask your government clinic gynac for safe skincare tips.
