No beta, it won't hurt the baby at all. When I was staying at my mum's house during my pregnancy, she used to give me soaked raisins (kishmish) and warm milk at night, which really helped clear my stomach naturally.

Try drinking lots of water and resting in a dark room. But honestly, if the pain is unbearable, don't wait and just call your gynac.

My toddler keeps me on my feet now, but back then, pregnancy back pain was no joke! A hot compress and simple side-sleeping pillow saved me. It completely goes away after delivery, don't worry.

I used to panic thinking even basic stretching would harm the baby, but then my prenatal yoga teacher reassured me. Just avoid any poses that put pressure on your stomach, like cobra pose or lying on your tummy. It's totally safe if you do it gently!

Wait till you actually miss your period by at least 4 to 5 days before testing. Testing too early will only give you a faint line and cause unnecessary confusion. Keep it simple and test with morning's first urine.
