Jayanti Mehra

I had to travel for a wedding in my first month, but my doctor advised against long road trips. I took a short flight instead, but only after getting a green signal from my gynac.

Yes, my saas told me it happens because of the baby's weight putting pressure on our veins. She used to give me warm oil massages which helped a lot. But definitely tell your doctor about the numbness just to be safe.

While I am sitting here dreaming about hot samosas, this is actually a very serious topic. Mostly it happens because youngsters don't get proper sex education or awareness about contraceptives at the right age.

Your uterus is basically trying to renovate the whole apartment for the baby, so some noise is normal! But seriously, if the pain is quite bad, don't sit and guess, just ask your gynac.

Let's be very clear, periods do not happen during pregnancy. Sometimes women mistake early spotting/implantation bleeding for a period, but if there's actual bleeding, please book an appointment with your gynac right away.
