Counting from your last period's first day is the easiest way and it is completely free! Knowing your exact week helps you plan your hospital visits and scan budgets in advance. For example, the NT scan needs to happen around week 11-13, so keep track carefully.

My doctor at the hospital specifically advised waiting till at least 5 days of missed periods to get an accurate result on the home kit. If you get a positive, call your hospital immediately to book your first beta HCG blood test and consultation. They will guide you on the next steps very smoothly.

Missed period is the biggest sign, along with light cramping or breast heavy-ness. Honestly, pregnancy test kits are very cheap and easily available at any local chemist, so it's best to just buy one and check.

Sleeping on the left side is actually the best yaar, especially after the bump starts showing. I used to feel so uncomfortable initially, but then I stuffed pillows everywhere. Just try to avoid sleeping on your back because it can make u feel dizzy.

This is a very common question here! But scientifically, natural twins happen due to genetics or age, and gender cannot be controlled. Just stay healthy, eat well, and prepare your body for pregnancy.
