While light spotting can sometimes happen during implantation, actual bleeding is not normal. Please consult your gynac immediately to ensure everything is fine with the baby. Sending you positive vibes!

Basically, your heart works harder, your blood volume increases by 50%, and joints loosen up due to relaxin hormone. It's all normal physiology, but if you experience sudden severe swelling or high BP, check with your gynac right away.

I kept seeing 'FC' everywhere in these groups and got so confused! I realized it just means 'Fingers Crossed' here, did anyone else also think it was some scary medical term?

Please take care of your health first. Extreme stress from work can disturb your ovulation, so try to reduce your workload and stay calm.

Oh absolutely! During my second trimester, I had massive cravings for chaat, but my husband was the one actually eating plate after plate of pani puri and blaming it on 'sympathetic cravings'!
