I am in my 5th month now and my lower back has started hurting so much at night. I am also planning to buy a pregnancy pillow online but wanted to ask—does it actually make a big difference? I'm so confused about whether to get a C-shape or a U-shape one.

Yes, I had mild period-like cramps in my first few weeks and I was so scared! Did anyone else feel those small pinches? But please call your gynac if the pain is sharp or if there's any spotting.

While managing bills, please make sure you don't take any mental stress as it affects the baby. Check with the hospital's billing desk and your insurance agent directly to get correct details. Stay relaxed and let your family handle this paperwork.
