Ilakiya Parekh

Actually I freaked out when my feet started looking like huge balloons! My gynac laughed and said it is very normal, just don't stand for too long and keep moving your ankles to help blood circulation.

I just finished my NT scan and now waiting for the 20-week anomaly scan, which is making me a bit anxious. Is it normal to feel so nervous before every single scan? Hope everything goes fine.

Yes, straining can sometimes cause mild spotting because of pressure. My mother-in-law suggested drinking warm milk with a little ghee at night, but please consult your doctor to ensure everything is okay.

Yes, it is completely safe and won't harm the baby at all. Unless your doctor has specifically put you on pelvic rest due to complications, you don't need to worry about it.

I totally understand how stressful it is when we see these medical terms on our reports. But please know your body is doing an amazing job protecting your sweet baby. Just show it to your gynac so she can reassure you and guide you beautifully.
