My mother-in-law always told me to wait at least a week after the missed date before doing any test ghar pe. It keeps you calm and gives a very clear result, which is so true.

Looking back at my stressful trying-to-conceive days, I realize we worry about the wrong things. Egg size only helps you conceive a healthy baby, gender is purely random and natural. Now that my little one is a toddler, I can tell you any healthy baby is a blessing!

Yaar, heartburn was my daily story in the third trimester! Actually, the growing baby presses against your stomach, so the acid travels up. I used to keep small gaps between meals and stopped eating spicy food late at night.

Yes, it is a very common early sign, but please also monitor if there's any pain, lower back ache, or fever along with it. Sometimes it can be a urinary tract infection (UTI), which needs quick doctor attention. Sending you lots of care.

Oh, I remember checking my panty every single time I went to the washroom! Mild white is perfectly fine, but if there's any blood, call your gynac.
