Honestly, with this giant belly, any help is welcome! Just make sure it is water-based. Silicon or scented ones might cause infections down there, which we definitely don't want right now.

It's a serious condition involving very high blood pressure and can cause seizures, so we have to be extremely cautious. Since my IVF journey taught me to monitor everything, I always recommend speaking to your gynac if your BP fluctuates. Sending you so much love and strength.

I recently delivered and for me, the very first signs were breast tenderness and extreme tiredness. I felt like sleeping all day, even before I missed my period! Everyone's body is different, so it can vary.

I ordered my pregnancy pillow online from Amazon because we don't have big maternity shops in our town. But if you don't want to buy, you can also use 2-3 soft cotton pillows from home under your knees and back. It works just as well!

To cope well, practical planning is key, especially managing the finances so you don't stress later. Make a budget for regular tests and delivery costs early on. It really gives you peace of mind and lets you focus on your health.
