My mother-in-law told me to drink coconut water to calm down when my heart raced. My doctor also confirmed that a slightly higher pulse is normal because of increased blood volume. Keep tracking it, and do consult your doctor if it feels too high.

Absolutely you can, just get yourself a few pairs of good maternity jeans. They look super stylish and have that comfortable elastic band for the bump. I wore them to work almost every day during my pregnancy.

Acid from vomiting constantly during morning sickness makes gums even more sensitive and sore. Rinse your mouth with plain water every time you throw up to protect your teeth and gums.

During my first trimester, cold fruits were the only thing I could digest without throwing up. Dragon fruit is very mild in taste and not smelly at all, so it's perfect for nausea. Just slice it cold and eat slowly.

False positives on a test are actually extremely rare. If you are feeling slight nausea or other symptoms, you are most likely pregnant. I suggest booking a quick blood test at the clinic to be absolutely sure.
