I remember checking on day 3 after sex and panicking because it was negative! Later I found out it takes at least 10-12 days for implantation to even happen. Don't worry, just wait for your period date to test, it's totally normal.

Eating bread is fine in moderation, but keep an eye on your thyroid and sugar levels. I had thyroid issues throughout my pregnancy and had to get regular blood tests done, so it's best to discuss your overall diet with your doctor.

I would strongly advise against using any over-the-counter ear drops without consulting your doctor. After my past experience, I became very cautious and always got a prescription even for minor issues. Please be safe and call your doctor.

I stayed at my maternal home during most of my pregnancy so we had a natural break, but my mom always said to be very careful and gentle. Just ask your doctor in your monthly checkup to be absolutely sure.

I'll never forget hearing the heartbeat around 7 weeks on the scan, I felt tears just rolling down. It was the most magical sound. Sometimes it shows a little earlier or later, so dont stress on exact days.
