According to all my pregnancy trackers, heavy lifting or dragging can strain your pelvic floor muscles. It's best to avoid it completely and keep your active energy for safe walks.

LMP is your Last Menstrual Period. It means the very first day of your last period, and apps use this date to calculate your estimated due date.

There are no specific days to conceive a boy or a girl. In India, gender prediction or selection is illegal, and both are equal blessings.

It's very important to never ignore warning signs like severe cramps or spotting, or take any random medicines. Having gone through a miscarriage, I know how precious every step is. Take extra care, rest well, and be very gentle with yourself.

Looking back, I remember reading about these old pulse-checking methods too! Honestly, none of them work. Just buy a simple pregnancy strip, it's the only way to be 100% sure.
