Saraswati Apte

I literally called my gynac crying thinking I caught some infection because my body felt so warm. She laughed and said it's just early pregnancy! It's completely normal, so relax.

I have been feeling extremely tired lately too, and I am hoping it's a good sign. Maybe wait for a few days and take a home test to confirm.

I kept testing every day after my missed period because I was so paranoid about a faint line! Usually 4-5 days after missed period is safe for a home test. But if u are anxious like me, a blood test at the clinic gives 100% confirmation.

Please avoid Flexon. It contains ibuprofen, which is strictly not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester as it can cause heart issues in the baby. Talk to your gynac for a safe alternative like plain paracetamol.

In our joint family, my MIL strictly told me not to sit or lie down immediately after eating. She made me walk for 15 minutes inside the house and gave me warm fennel (saunf) water. It actually worked wonders for my bloating!
