Generally, delivery itself can cost anywhere between 30,000 to 1.5 lakhs depending on normal or C-section and the hospital type. Don't forget to budget around 15k to 20k for monthly scans and medicines throughout the nine months.

Body ache can be an early sign but it is not reliable on its own. Dont read too much into one symptom and stress yourself. Wait for the missed period and then test calmly.

Yaar I couldnt give up my one cutting chai, and actually my gynac said one small cup is fine. Just dont drink five coffees a day. Moderation works honestly.

Travel is usually safest in the second trimester, thats when I traveled both times. Avoid bumpy long road trips and take breaks to stretch. Just clear it with your gynac first, especially if its a long journey.

Kits are fairly accurate but a faint or confusing line can happen. If you get mixed results, just get a blood beta hcg done at lab, doc will confirm properly.
