According to the pregnancy tracker apps I followed, progesterone spikes in the first trimester, which causes extra sebum. I just used a mild, soap-free cleanser and avoided touching my face. Keep track of your weekly changes on an app, it really helps understand these symptoms!

I am currently pregnant and my gynac strictly told me no hot tubs or direct heat packs on my belly. Is this warm stone thing a traditional practice? I would definitely ask my doctor before trying it.

It is completely normal to feel super anxious and keep analyzing every small pinch in your body right now. Honestly, the most reliable way is just waiting for your period date to pass and taking a home kit test. Try to distract yourself, I know it's so hard to wait.

By week 30, my hospital coordinator advised me to start attending their childbirth preparation classes. You'll feel more heavy and experience mild braxton hicks, so make sure you list down all your questions and ask your gynac clearly during your bi-weekly visits.

People told me to drink saffron milk for a fair baby, but I just drink it because it tastes delicious and cures my late-night sweet cravings! Honestly, color doesn't matter as long as we get to eat healthy and keep the baby happy.
