I have heard that keeping ginger candies nearby really helps with the morning sickness. I hope you find some relief very soon.

I panicked when it didn't happen in the first three months and thought something was wrong with us! But my doctor told me it's totally normal for it to take up to a year. Once I stopped stressing, it happened the very next month, so relax!

Pregnancy rhinitis is actually quite common due to increased blood flow in nasal passages. Safe options are saline nasal sprays and steam, but if you have a fever or sore throat too, please consult your doctor. Don't self-medicate.

Yes, it is safe for inhalation if you have a cold, but never ingest it or apply it directly on your skin without a carrier oil. I used to put two drops on a handkerchief during my second pregnancy. It is a great natural way to clear congestion.

Early signs like mild bloating or tiredness started for me around week 5. I kept up with my gentle evening walks which really helped with the early fatigue, but check with your doctor before starting any exercise. Best to wait for your missed period to test.
