Medically, your body is still healing, especially if you had a C-section, so no heavy dieting. Feeding your baby helps contract the uterus, which naturally reduces the belly. Just focus on a clean diet with good protein, and start light walks only after your doctor clears you.

Since I have PCOS, my periods were always irregular so I had to wait at least a week after my expected date to test. Don't rush into testing because of irregular cycles, let the HCG build up.

My saas told me to drink warm milk with badam and keep track of my cycle days. Actually, tracking ovulation and staying relaxed really worked for us!

Oh, I don't think it's a direct sign of pregnancy, but we do get prone to infections because of hormonal changes. I would overthink every symptom, but please just call your doctor to get it checked so it doesn't get worse.

Enjoy the quiet phase while you can! For me, the light flutters started around 19 weeks, and now in my 32nd week, this little one is practicing karate kicks all night.
