Simple terms me, it is the second stage of labor. Jab cervix full dilate ho jata hai and u have to push the baby out, that's what doctors call expulsion phase. Focus on breathing and listen to your gynac, sab smoothly ho jata hai.

You might not feel anything at all in the very first week. But once you suspect or confirm it, the first step should always be booking a gynac appointment. They will start your folic acid and guide you safely.

Oh I panicked so much when my gynac wrote this test, I thought something was wrong with my baby! But honestly it's just a routine screening that almost every pregnant woman goes through. It's completely normal, so relax.

Yes, medical abortion is very common in the first few weeks. But honestly, please don't play doctor with your own body! Go to a proper clinic, get the scan done, and take the medicine under their supervision.

I had thyroid during my pregnancy and had to visit the clinic often, so I used to ride slowly for short distances. But my doctor eventually advised against it in the second trimester due to balance issues. Do ask your gynac during your regular checkup what travel mode is safe for you.
