I know how stressful it is when everyone asks if you felt the baby move yet and you haven't. Honestly, 21-22 weeks is the sweet spot for first-timers, so don't let the pressure get to you.

Use a couple of extra pillows to elevate your upper body, this keeps the pressure off your lungs. Always sleep on your left side to improve blood flow. If the breathlessness is sudden and severe, call your doctor immediately.

When my throat was swollen, I called my hospital's emergency desk. They told me to do salt water rinses and prescribed a pregnancy-safe syrup, so definitely consult your hospital team.

Traveling with one baby inside is fine, but with twins, my doctor told me to stay put! If you have a single pregnancy and no complications, the 5th month is the golden period before your belly gets huge. Just keep your medical files with you and avoid bumpy roads.

Haan, train se travel karna actually kaafi safe aur comfortable hota hai road travel se. Just make sure ki aap lower berth book karo taaki chadhne-utarne mein problem na ho. Apne sath ghar ka khaana aur packaged paani zaroor rakhna, na!
