The state of the 'Os' (cervix opening) is very important to prevent early labor. If your report says closed, that's perfect. If there's any mention of 'open' or 'short cervix', please follow your doctor's advice immediately.

I also had severe tooth sensitivity in my second trimester and was so worried about using normal paste. I switched to Sensodyne and it really helped. Did anyone else feel extra dental sensitivity during these months? pls tell.

Omg, please don't take any OTC medicine at all! Even some common cold tablets or pain relievers are strictly avoided because they can affect the baby. I used to call my doc's clinic literally three times a day to confirm even for a cough drop. Better safe than sorry!

While bloating and feeling full are common, please check with your doctor if you also have severe abdominal pain or can't digest anything. It's always best to let your gynac confirm if it's normal pregnancy gas or something else.

In our family, elders suggest taking iron after meals to avoid stomach upset, but my doctor advised me to take it at night before sleeping. I followed my gynac's advice because she knew my blood test results. Please check with your doctor for your correct timing.
