When I was at my parents' house near my due date, my mom made sure I walked a little and rested well. The baby can come a week early or a few days late, so just stay relaxed with your family around you.

My MIL suggested drinking warm water and lying down on my left side when I had mild stomach pain. It really helped with gas. But she also said if the pain doesn't stop or is severe, we must rush to the hospital immediately.

I felt so anxious about food safety when I first saw those double lines. Even though Amul milk packet says pasteurized, I always boiled it because I didn't want to take any chance with bacteria. It just gave me peace of mind.

I was so terrified before my first scan, my heart was racing like crazy! But honestly, it doesn't hurt at all. They just apply a cold jelly on your belly and use a plastic device to look inside. It's very quick and peaceful, you will be fine.

As someone who had to wait through the agonizing two-week wait during IVF, I know how hard this is. Try to wait at least 14 days after ovulation or the day of your missed period for an accurate urine test. Be very kind to yourself during this waiting period.
