Count the weeks from the first day of your last period. Once you calculate it, make sure to visit your doctor for regular follow-ups, especially if you have thyroid issues, as early monitoring is very important.

Honestly, the only 100% positive sign is a missed period followed by two clear lines on a home test kit. Minor signs like sore breasts or mild cramping can also just be PMS. Don't waste time guessing, just take a strip test on the day of your missed period.

It is simply progesterone hormone which helps in thickening the uterine lining so the fertilized egg can implant safely. I took it during both my pregnancies as I had mild spotting. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor, it's very safe and common.

Right now in my 3rd trimester, a 'healthy' diet is anything that doesn't give me massive heartburn! But seriously, focus on fiber and water to avoid constipation.

I have heard from my sisters that bloating happens very early in pregnancy. It is quite normal as the body prepares itself. Hope you feel better soon.
