Haha, with twins, I thought my cramps would be double, but they still only lasted a day or two! It's just a mild tugging feeling. If it's a constant pain or bothering you, definitely ask your gynac instead of guessing.

Hormones can behave very weirdly sometimes. Even after my C-section delivery, my cycle took almost a year to regularize because of breastfeeding and hormonal changes. Don't worry, stress itself can delay your periods further.

I have been reading a lot about this while trying to conceive, and it seems the first 8 to 12 weeks are extremely crucial for the baby's tiny heart and organs. It feels so magical yet delicate, and I pray we all have safe journeys.

I still remember hearing my little one's heartbeat for the first time in the 2nd month of pregnancy! Now he's a toddler running around the house making endless noise. It starts around 6-7 weeks, so hang in there, it's the most magical sound ever.

I totally understand how nerve-wracking it is to decide what's safe and what's not right now. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend outdoor cycling because the fear of falling down or losing balance is very real. It's better to stick to light walks to keep yourself calm and active.
