Yaar, pregnancy me blood volume actually double ho jata hai, so body demands so much water. I used to keep a copper bottle near my bed, though waking up to pee every hour was such a pain!

Mere saath bhi aisa hi hua tha, bhook hi nahi lagti thi aur pet hamesha bhara lagta tha. Yeh bilkul normal hai shuruat mein. Apne sharir ka dhyan rakho aur khush raho.

It feels like you just ran a marathon when you've only walked to the kitchen, right? It's just the progesterone hormone early on, and later the baby occupying all your lung space! Just sit back, relax, and let your husband do all the walking.

I know how terrifying it feels when doctors suggest tests like this during pregnancy, your heart just sinks. But please stay strong, a standard colposcopy is physically safe and won't harm your sweet little baby. They usually don't take any tissue samples during pregnancy unless it's very urgent.

Increased frequency is common in early pregnancy due to hormones, but pain or itching means it's a UTI. Best is to seek proper medical advice and get a urine test done.
