Sometimes hormones cause nasal congestion, but do check with your doctor during your regular follow-ups to rule out a cold.

Walking is great in the 9th month, but please ask your doctor first. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor closely monitored my active minutes and advised me to walk only for 20-30 minutes at a gentle pace. Regular follow-ups are key to knowing what is safe for you.

Your body changes a lot, like your blood sugar levels and metabolism shifting, which is why monitoring your diet is so important. I had gestational diabetes, so I learned firsthand how hormones can change how our body processes food.

I totally understand how confusing and sensitive this topic can feel when you are carrying a little life inside you. Unless your doctor has specifically told you to avoid it due to some complications, it is actually quite safe and can help you feel close to your husband. Just go slow and listen to your body, dear.

Same here, my doctor clearly told me iron has zero connection with baby's skin color. It only darkens your stool, which is totally normal.
