I completely understand how terrifying even a little straining can feel, especially when we are constantly worried about the baby's safety. Please rest assured, your baby is perfectly protected. Just try not to strain too hard and ask your doctor for a mild pregnancy-safe stool softener.

I tracked my weekly gain but focused more on keeping active. I did gentle walking and safe prenatal yoga only after my gynac gave me permission.

In my experience, the dating scan done around 8-10 weeks gave the most accurate conception timeline. My actual period date didn't match it perfectly because of my irregular cycles.

Beta, this happens because of hormonal changes in the body. You can try sucking on a small piece of ginger or sniffing a fresh lemon to feel better. But if the vomiting is very severe and you feel weak, don't rely on home remedies and visit the doctor.

Biologically it's impossible to get pregnant this way. If you are preparing to conceive, focus on a good balanced diet with low sugar to keep your health in check from day one.
