I just had my baby and clearly remember this waiting phase! It took about 11 days after intercourse for my home test to show a very light positive line. Give it at least 12 to 14 days for the body to build up the hormones.

I completely understand how stressful it is to doubt every single thing you eat. It is absolutely fine to have Chinese food occasionally. Just make sure it is hot and freshly cooked, which will keep your anxiety at bay.

When I went to my hospital, the staff guided me to get a quantitative beta hCG test done right on my missed period date. It's best to consult your hospital's reception or doctor, they will schedule it perfectly for you.

I just delivered my baby girl at 41! Honestly, I was so worried about my age, but my doctor kept me relaxed and monitored everything closely. It was a beautiful experience, so don't let age scare you.

Same here, doing perineal massage from week 35 really helped me avoid any major tearing during my normal delivery.
