Eggs are wonderful for baby's growth, especially with all the nutrients they need early on. Just take it slow, make sure they are thoroughly cooked, and listen to your body. Sending you so much love and positive energy.

Oh god, I stared at my kit for hours trying to see if there was a hidden second line or just an evaporation line! If you are anxious, just wait two days and test again to see if the line gets darker.

In the early weeks, you mostly feel mild cramping, fatigue, or breast tenderness. Don't rush to buy expensive digital tests right away, simple strip tests work just as well after a missed period. It's better to save up for the first doctor consultation and ultrasound which can be a bit pricey.

The heartbeat starts around the 6th week of pregnancy, and my doc showed it to us during our first scan. Even now, after my recent C-section recovery, thinking of that first heartbeat sound gives me strength. Take care of yourself during these early weeks.

For me, 15 weeks was when my morning sickness finally started settling down. I could finally eat normal food again, which was such a relief!
