It's safe, but don't waste money on overpriced fancy brands. Standard water-based ones from the local medical store work perfectly and are recommended by doctors.
Haha at this point in my third trimester, literally *everything* feels like a pregnancy symptom, even a sneeze! It could be early immunity changes, or just the AC being too cold. Hang in there and grab some ginger tea!
As a mom of two, let me tell you that paracetamol is the standard safe medicine during pregnancy. Just stick to the prescribed dose and never take ibuprofen or other painkillers.
It's mostly due to the extra blood and fluids your body produces to support the baby. My feet used to look like balloons in the third trimester. Keeping them elevated and drinking lots of water actually helped flush out the retention.
I agree, waiting for 5 to 7 days after your missed period is ideal. Using the first morning urine ensures the highest hormone concentration for a clear result.
