The baby is only around 300 grams in the 5th month, so they are basically a little mango right now! Trust me, enjoy this phase because by the 3rd trimester, they feel like a heavy bowling ball sitting on your bladder, and just turning around in bed is a task!

Arre, this is a history question on a pregnancy forum! But since you asked, it was Allama Iqbal who first gave the idea of a separate nation in 1930, and then Choudhry Rahmat Ali coined the name in 1933. My husband's medical books don't have this, but I remember this from my school days!

Looking back, I remember driving myself crazy googling early symptoms like implantation spotting. Honestly, the only real confirmation is that double line on the Prega News card. Just relax and test a day or two after your missed period.

Acidity and nausea usually hit by week 6. Be very careful with what you eat to calm it down—don't jump to sweet biscuits or heavy juices, as I had to watch my blood sugar levels closely. Stick to small, dry snacks and check with your doc.

Tight clothing can sometimes restrict circulation, which is already a concern if you have thyroid issues or swelling during pregnancy. I had to monitor my thyroid regularly and was advised to wear loose, comfortable clothes. Make sure to bring up any swelling issues with your doctor.
