Please don't take any over-the-counter cough syrups without asking your doctor first. During my C-section recovery, even coughing was so painful, so it’s always best to treat any congestion safely under your gynac's guidance.

To be honest, I thought my period was coming because it felt exactly like regular menstrual cramps and bloating! There was no magical feeling, just normal PMS-like stuff. Now that my baby keeps me awake all night, I miss that quiet bloating!

Haan, throat infection in pregnancy is so annoying na. Better betadine completely avoid karo, it contains iodine which might not be safe. Try doing garam paani me namak daal ke gargles, best natural option hai.

Honestly, all my heavy cheese cravings in the first trimester made my constipation so much worse! Progesterone slows down digestion, so we have to balance our yummy food with lots of salad.

In my experience, I tested on the very day my period was due and got a clear positive. I didn't want to stress myself with early tests, so I just waited calmly.
