It's so hard not to worry about every little thing when you are carrying a life inside you. I had a small cyst too and spent nights crying, but my baby was born healthy and fine. Trust your body, you are doing great and everything will be alright.

When I was staying at my parents' house, my mother would literally force me to take afternoon naps. She always said a well-rested mother makes a healthy baby, and she was so right. Enjoy this quiet rest time.

No, it doesn't test for pregnancy, but I used to worry if getting a pap smear while pregnant would harm the baby! It's actually safe, but definitely let your gynac know if your periods are missed so you don't overthink it.

Drink plenty of water and try having a glass of nimbu paani with a pinch of salt! 🍋 But if you feel too dizzy, please call your gynac right away to get checked!

With office deadlines and pregnancy fatigue, stress levels go peak high, leading to teeth grinding. Don't ignore it if your jaw hurts. Ask your dentist for a safe night guard and try to cut down on screen time before bed.
