I totally understand those late-night Maggi cravings, they are so hard to resist when you are pregnant! It is absolutely okay to indulge once in a while to make yourself happy. Just try to add some fresh veggies like peas and carrots to make it a bit healthy.

Actually mild cramping happens when the uterus is expanding. I used to do very gentle stretching and slow walking to feel better, but only after my gynac allowed it. Don't do any exercises or yoga now unless your doctor says it is completely safe for you.

At 7 weeks, you should definitely book your first viability ultrasound to check the baby's heartbeat. Please consult your gynac to start your folic acid and other routine checkups if you haven't already.

Hey, you are entering the final stretch now! Expect some backache, heartburn, and feeling tired easily because of the baby's weight. Don't lift heavy things, sleep on your left side with a pillow under your belly, and just take things easy, okay?

Yes, it is a common early sign, but it can also be a UTI. Please consult your gynac to rule out any infection if you also have a burning sensation.
