I was so impatient that I tested 2 days before my missed period and got nothing, haha! Better to wait at least 4-5 days after missed date to save your sanity.

Beta, eating cold fruits late at night can cause cough or cold, which we want to avoid right now. Better to have them in the daytime. If you get late night cravings, a warm cup of milk with a little kesar is much better.

Oh god, early pregnancy is so tough, I had terrible nausea along with this backache. I found that lying down on my side with a pillow between my knees gave some relief. Hang in there, this phase will pass!

My little one is 2 years old now, but I still remember those panic days before we were ready. Looking back, those scares actually made my husband and me talk seriously about our future plans. Everything works out eventually!

Seeing my baby's heartbeat for the first time on that screen made me cry like anything! It is done to check if the baby is growing healthy, hearing that tiny heart thumping is the most beautiful feeling in the world. Enjoy every second of it.
