I know exactly how anxious you are feeling right now, that wait is so emotional. Please be kind to yourself and try to test a day or two after your missed period for a clear result. Sending u lots of hugs.

High blood pressure is not something you should manage with home remedies alone, it needs constant doctor follow-up. Just like I had to monitor my thyroid closely, you must get your BP checked at every clinic visit. Keep your doctor updated about even small headaches or swelling.

I used to count every single calorie because I was terrified of gaining too much weight during my second trimester. But when I asked my doctor, she told me that bananas are actually great for preventing swelling and cramps. Don't worry, eating one banana a day is completely safe for you and the baby!

Sit upright with back support and dont sit too long at a stretch.

First trimester was so tiring for me honestly, I slept a lot. Did everyone else feel this exhausted? Rest really is the main thing in those weeks.
