When I was trying, I reorganised our bedroom to make it feel more peaceful, and it really helped my stress levels. Staying relaxed is so important for conceiving, so do whatever makes you feel happy and calm.

Please contact your doctor or go to the emergency room right away if you are bleeding. Having gone through a miscarriage, I know how critical this is. Don't wait for it to stop on its own, get checked.

It does not directly hurt the fetus because they are cushioned by amniotic fluid. However, tight clothing restricts blood flow, causes yeast infections, and worsens bloating. Do yourself a favor and invest in some good cotton maternity pajamas.

Aw sweetie, those swollen feet are so annoying but dont stress too much! Get your husband to give you a nice warm foot massage, it works like magic. Just chill, keep your feet up, and drink your water!

At this stage, your appointments will become weekly. The doctor will estimate the baby's weight through an ultrasound or by feeling your tummy, and discuss your birth plan with you.
