I am planning to conceive soon and honestly so scared of this vomiting phase! From what I have read, it is due to the rapid rise of HCG pregnancy hormone. Is it true that cold water or dry toast helps to calm it down?

Honestly, I didn't know much about the cervix until my doctor did a routine checkup. They just mentioned it softens and forms a mucus plug. I didn't try to check it myself because that's best left to the doctors.

Dealing with GERD along with bad morning sickness was the absolute worst for me. It's not dangerous for the baby, but it is extremely painful, so try sitting upright after eating and avoid sleeping flat.

Normaxin is definitely not a medicine you should take without a prescription, especially when pregnant. If you are having stomach cramps or acidity, tell your doctor directly. They will give you something safe for the baby, don't self-medicate.

Oh sweetie, I totally understand how nerve-wracking it feels to think about flying with your precious little passenger inside. It is safe, but do whatever makes your heart feel at peace.
