Oh my god, I used to buy pregnancy test kits in bulk and test 5 days early! It just caused me so much stress. It's much better to wait for the missed period so the hormone levels are high enough.

They can absolutely be healthy, but since there was no medical tracking, a proper hospital checkup is needed. My C-section delivery showed me how crucial medical monitoring is.

I started feeling nauseous around week 6, which was so hard to manage with my office meetings. I found that eating small, frequent meals rather than large ones kept it in control throughout the day.

I had barely any symptoms in my first trimester and thought everything was fine, but later found out about my gestational diabetes during routine tests. So even if you have no symptoms, make sure you don't miss your routine checkups and blood sugar tests.

Actually yaar, my body felt so hot in the first few weeks, I thought I was getting a fever! But it was just baby hormones.
