I understand how anxious you must be to see if everything is okay inside. Most doctors schedule the first dating scan around 6 to 8 weeks to check the heartbeat. Just take deep breaths, the wait is hard but it will be fine.
My first ultrasound at 5.5 weeks didn't show much, and I was so worried. But my doctor gently explained that it's just too tiny to detect yet. When I went back at 7 weeks, we could hear the heartbeat clearly. Just give it some time.
Yes, headaches are common. I found that doing some light neck stretches and deep breathing really helped relieve the tension. Always ask your doctor before trying any exercise or yoga posture, though.
Oh, I remember eating soaked kismis every single morning when I was pregnant! My toddler is now 2 and I still give him raisins as a healthy snack. It's totally safe and actually very beneficial for your hemoglobin.
Haan, some people get paraffin wax pedicures for dry feet, but better to avoid na. Chemical things can react, so ask your doc first.
