When I couldn't keep food down, my BP dropped. Keeping salty biscuits and electro-water nearby really helped me. Try not to stand up too quickly from bed.

Beta, gender prediction is completely illegal in our country, and we shouldn't even think about it. Just pray to God for a healthy baby and stay positive throughout this beautiful journey. Whatever is destined to come will bring immense joy to your home.

Listening to soft, soothing music or instrumentals can help keep your blood pressure and stress levels down, which is great for the baby. Just make sure you are not using headphones at a very high volume. If you ever feel unusually stressed or anxious, do consult your gynac for guidance.

My doctor did an early scan at 6 weeks just to confirm the location of the pregnancy. That's when they can clearly see if it's ectopic or normal. Definitely get a scan done as advised by your doctor.

I totally understand how hard it is to look in the mirror and not recognize your own face. But please remember your body just created a whole new life, so give yourself some grace. That swelling and water weight will naturally go away with time, just love yourself right now.
