Honestly, in my first month, the only travel I wanted to do was from my bed to the bathroom! If you have the energy and your doctor gives the green light, go for it. Just avoid bumpy roads unless you want your morning sickness to double!

Brown discharge can sometimes be just old blood, but please check with your gynac immediately. It is always better to be safe than sorry during pregnancy, so do not delay calling your doctor.

Your body produces extra fluid and blood during pregnancy, which naturally pools in your legs. Keep your feet elevated whenever you sit down. But if you see sudden swelling in just one leg or on your face, contact your doctor right away.

I remember measuring my belly and crying because I felt so huge and unrecognizable. In total, my waist grew by almost 15 inches! Please be gentle with yourself, your body is doing something beautiful.

Oh god, please stay away from any beer, even if it's homemade rice beer! Your baby doesn't need a party inside just yet. Stick to coconut water for now, beer can wait!
