Listen to me, don't worry unnecessarily, but do get an ultrasound done. If you have any bleeding or severe sharp pain, go to your gynac right away.

Yes, breast changes are one of the earliest signs because of hormones. They can feel heavy, sore, and change shape. Don't buy expensive maternity bras right away, just buy a couple of simple, stretchable cotton sports bras in a larger size to stay comfortable.

During my third month, I made sure to rest plenty because your body is doing so much work building the placenta. Building up your strength now helps immensely later, especially if you end up having a C-section and need a smooth recovery.

Chill yaar, don't stress too much if you didn't take it before! Just call your doctor today, get the prescription, and start taking it from tomorrow. It is super simple.

Honestly, in my 5th week, I was so exhausted I could barely travel from the bed to the couch! If you have the energy for a car ride, go ahead, but keep a sickness bag ready and ask your doctor first.
