Riddhi Sahoo

It is completely valid to want your baby right away, I felt that exact same desperation every single month. But please don't feel discouraged if it doesn't happen in the first month. Your body is amazing and it will make room for your little miracle when the time is right.

It is so uncomfortable and can make you feel so anxious and restless, I completely understand. I used to dread even changing my clothes. Putting a cool compress or gel pack gently over the area helped ease that constant throbbing feeling.

I just used simple virgin coconut oil and shea butter daily. They didn't vanish completely, but my skin feels very soft and less itchy.

The 40 weeks give the baby's lungs and brain enough time to fully mature. My baby came at 39 weeks and was perfectly healthy, but those extra weeks inside are so crucial.

If you're trying to conceive, just don't take too much stress! Looking back at my toddler now, I realize how much I overthought the process; just stay happy and let nature do its work.
