I totally understand the constant worry about what is safe for the little life inside you. You can have a few grapes, sweetie. Just keep the portion small and enjoy every bite with a happy heart.

The senior nurse at my clinic recommended testing on the first day of your missed period for accurate home results. If you are extremely anxious, you can ask your doctor for a quantitative blood test which detects it even earlier.

The pregnancy trackers I used always recommend a specific beta hCG blood test for confirming it. A routine blood test like CBC won't tell u if u are pregnant, u have to ask the doc for a pregnancy blood test.

I remember crying after my ultrasound thinking my baby is too small, it's such an emotional phase. But eating lots of proteins like dal, eggs, and curd really helped us catch up. You are doing amazing, mama, just take care of your meals!

When I was pregnant, I felt so fascinated by how my body was changing every week. I could literally feel the pulling and stretching sensations as my little one grew bigger. It felt like a beautiful, quiet miracle happening inside me.
