Left side is best, but sleeping on the right is totally fine too. The main thing is that you actually get some sleep! Just avoid sleeping flat on your back in the second and third trimesters.

My mother told me to drink warm cumin water to soothe my body when I felt my heart beating fast. While these home tips gave me comfort, I still made sure to mention it to my gynac during my regular checkup to be absolutely safe.

It's mostly because of dehydration and hormonal changes. Even now while breastfeeding, my lips get super dry. Just keep drinking plenty of water and apply some pure ghee or organic lip balm.

Eating watermelon regularly really helped keep my energy levels up and reduced the swelling in my feet, which made walking easier. It kept my hydration perfect, which is so important for a smooth normal delivery. Enjoy it fresh, it is honestly a wonderful fruit!

I am also in the same phase and feel so shy even buying the test kit, honestly. My friends told me we should wait at least 5 days after our missed period to test. Let's stay hopeful and pray for good news!
