My physiotherapist at the maternity hospital actually recommended sitting cross-legged as it opens up the hips. But she strictly advised against crossing your legs at the knees because it blocks blood circulation. Better ask your prenatal yoga instructor or doctor about correct posture.

Carrying twins meant double the pelvic pressure from very early on! Mild pain is normal, but if it starts feeling like menstrual cramps, immediately call your doctor. Keep your feet up and let your husband do the chores.

Since I had some complications in my pregnancy, I had to undergo almost 8 to 10 scans to monitor the baby's blood flow. For a normal pregnancy, it's usually much less, around 3 or 4. Please trust your doctor's advice, they know what is safest for your situation.

In my case, my nipples became extremely sensitive and heavy about a week before my period was due, and then I tested positive. That was my main early symptom.

For me, the symptoms started just around the 5th or 6th week when I missed my period. I suddenly started feeling super tired and my breasts felt heavy.
