I recently delivered and at 36 weeks, my heartburn was at its peak! I practically survived on cold milk, small bowls of curd rice, and soaked dry fruits. Try to eat light and walk a little after every meal to help with digestion.

Please call your gynac immediately. Bleeding during pregnancy always needs a professional doctor's checkup.

Oh god, in this heat and with my huge 3rd-trimester belly, just the thought of any rubbing makes me tired, haha! But jokes aside, no penetration means practically no sperm can swim up there. You are perfectly fine, go have some ice cream and stop stressing!

Focus on building your core strength and stamina now. I had an emergency C-section and the postpartum recovery was tough because I hadn't focused on my fitness before. Eat nutritious home-cooked meals and stay active.

I know exactly how scary and exhausting it feels when you can't catch your breath, it used to trigger my anxiety so badly. First, just take a deep breath and remember your baby is totally safe. To get some relief, sit up as straight as possible to give your lungs more room, and practice very slow, gentle chest breathing.
