I was so scared before my first scan, thinking if it will hurt the baby. But the doctors are very gentle. If it's early they do TVS, please wear comfortable clothes so you don't feel awkward. You will be fine!
Methotrexate is a folate antagonist, so it halts the growth of ectopic tissue, letting the body reabsorb it. You will just need to monitor your hCG levels closely to ensure they drop down to zero.
I would say the best time is when you have some medical savings put aside, because pregnancy tests, doctor visits, and scans can add up quickly. Plan your finances first so you don't feel the stress of hospital bills later on. It makes the journey so much smoother.
When I was with my parents, my mother made sure I had a bowl of soaked almonds, walnuts, and a glass of milk daily. She also cooked fresh paneer and dal for high protein. Eating simple, nutritious home-cooked food really helped my baby gain weight safely.
If you mean feeling the baby's early movements or flutters, yes, most women start feeling them between 18 to 22 weeks. If you mean feeling physical intimacy, it's also completely normal to have increased sensitivity or desire due to increased blood flow, as long as your doctor hasn't put you on pelvic rest.
