To be honest, with the fatigue and nausea, sex was the last thing on my mind! But yes, it can feel a bit painful or dry because of hormones. Just use a good water-based lube and take it very slow.

My gynac scheduled a dating scan early, then the NT scan around 11 to 13 weeks, the anomaly scan around 18 to 20 weeks, and growth scans later. There may be a couple extra depending on your case. She explained each one clearly which really helped.

I tracked my cycle on an app so I knew exactly when my period was due, then tested a few days after it was late. Morning urine gave the clearest line. The app reminders honestly helped me not test too soon.

We just left it to nature and stayed happy either way. Honestly the not knowing made it more exciting na. A healthy child is the real joy.

Yaar pregnancy fatigue is a personality now haha. Naps became my whole hobby. Honestly just give in to the rest when you can, the body is literally building a human.
