According to my tracker app, multiparous moms (moms with previous births) rarely experience baby dropping weeks in advance like first-timers do. It usually happens right when labor begins. Keep tracking your contractions just in case, and stay prepared!

The most practical tip is to take your progesterone supplements and injections exactly at the same time every day. Drink lots of water, eat a protein-rich diet, and avoid any heavy lifting or strenuous chores.

I have heard from elders that we should be very careful in the early months. It's probably best to ask the doctor during your first check-up to be completely sure.

No, it is actually the most important supplement! I had thyroid issues too, so my doctor monitored all my medicines very closely. Always take the exact dosage your doctor prescribes.

Honestly, at this point in my 3rd trimester, I don't care if the baby looks like an alien as long as they sleep at night! Just stay happy and rest, don't worry about these myths.
