I know how stressful the waiting period between scans can be, I used to dread them. Just try to focus on the essential ones like the dating scan (7-8 weeks), NT scan (11-13 weeks), and anomaly scan (18-20 weeks). Your doctor will guide you through each step safely.

Yes, it's safe if your doctor hasn't told you otherwise. Just make sure you are comfortable and avoid putting weight on your stomach.

Haan na, waiting is so tough. But if it's 5 days post your missed period, then result clear aayega. Try testing with the first urine of the morning, okay?

For me, the very first symptom was actually a sudden, intense craving for spicy street food and a complete hatred for my morning tea! This started right around my missed period date, so about 4-5 weeks in. Every body is different though, so don't worry if your symptoms take a bit longer to show up.

For me, the second was more stressful because I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to manage my diet very strictly while keeping up with my toddler. In terms of ease, the first was easier because I could focus entirely on my food and rest.
