Try to avoid self-medicating for small things like cough or headache. Your gynac will easily give you safe alternatives, so just ask them first. It keeps your mind completely stress-free.

I was so scared of stretch marks and itching that I was constantly googling skin conditions. Just make sure to drink loads of water and don't scratch with your nails, use a soft cloth instead. Sending u positive vibes!

In my case, severe work stress once delayed my period by two weeks! I thought I was pregnant but the test was negative. It returned to normal once I rested well.

In our house, my MIL and mother always encouraged doing normal household work but told me to avoid deep heavy squats early on. They said let the pregnancy settle first.

Arey, bleeding is quite scary during these early days, so please call your doctor right away. Put down whatever you are doing or eating and just get an appointment fixed. Better to be safe, hope you feel better soon.
