According to medical guidelines, dicyclomine should only be used if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. My gynac specifically told me to avoid taking OTC stomach spasm medicines during pregnancy because some can affect amniotic fluid or have other risks.
My mother used to count by months, but my gynac explained that medical science always counts in weeks. It starts from your last period date, so you are actually considered two weeks pregnant even before the baby is conceived!
Yes, absolutely. Smoking is highly harmful during pregnancy, so please stop it completely.
My MIL and mother both told me to always count from the first day of the last cycle. At first I thought it was some old school logic, but actually, even doctors do the same! It's the simplest way to track your weeks.
Since I was extra cautious during my IVF journey, I checked all my skincare. Normal moisturizing creams like Nivea or Cetaphil are generally very safe. Just make sure it doesn't have strong artificial perfume if you have nausea.
