Increased discharge can happen due to high estrogen, but with my PCOS, it also happened right before my periods. Don't stress yourself guessing. It is always safer to wait a few days and do a proper urine test.

It is natural to have a preference and feel anxious about it, I completely validate your feelings. But trying to control it through strict diets can really exhaust you mentally. Let it happen naturally and take care of your peace of mind first.

With both my pregnancies, I had around 4 to 5 ultrasounds. They are completely safe and crucial for checking the baby's development. Just follow your doctor's schedule and don't skip the anomaly scan around 20 weeks, it is the most important one.

This phase is so delicate, and even small gas pains can make us worry so much. Please eat small meals and don't lie down immediately after eating. If the pain feels too sharp, please do contact your doctor just to be completely safe, ok?

Oh god, my face was covered in painful breakouts and I was so scared to use any skincare! Don't use normal acne creams with salicylic acid or retinoids because they can be super risky for the baby. Just use a very gentle, basic soap-free cleanser and stay hydrated, though definitely ask your gynac before trying anything else.
