Mere ko bhi abhi 5th month chal raha hai and back pain is terrible. Does lying down straight help or is sideways better? I am trying sideways with pillow but still hurts thoda.

Seeing high numbers on blood reports can be so scary, I totally get it because I used to panic instantly. But actually, WBC count naturally goes up during pregnancy, so please discuss it with your gynac to ease your mind.

Yes, pregnancy happens before the period is missed. If you suspect you are pregnant, wait for your period date to pass and do a cheap home urine test first before booking expensive hospital blood tests.

Actually I am planning my pregnancy now, and this is one of my biggest fears. How do doctors handle overdue cases? Do they immediately suggest C-section or can we still try normal delivery?

If you test in the evening, your urine is diluted by everything you ate and drank throughout the day. It's much better to wait for morning fasting urine. Eat a light dinner, sleep well, and check first thing in the morning.
