My mother-in-law advised me to wait for a week after missed period before doing anything, but I trusted my doctor and got the blood test done on the second day of my missed period. It is very simple and gives clear results, so go ahead and consult your doctor.

I totally understand how tiring it feels when your hemoglobin is low, it literally drains all your energy. Try to have fresh beetroot-carrot juice or some soaked dates every morning, they are so nourishing. Sending you lots of love, please take your iron supplements on time and rest well.

Actually yaar, don't experiment with fluid levels at home. This is 100% doctor territory, so just check with your gynac on what to do. They might just monitor you closely with scans, so take it easy.

I used to travel by auto occasionally when my baby was in my tummy, and he is a healthy toddler now! Just tell the driver to go slow and avoid potholes. It's totally fine if you are careful.

I had terrible swelling in my legs during the final months. Drinking warm water with cumin seeds (jeera water) helped me a bit, but mostly it was just elevating my feet. Don't worry, but do let your doctor know.
