It's different for everyone! With my toddler, I didn't feel a single thing until week 7, and then suddenly the morning sickness hit me like a truck. Don't worry if you don't feel pregnant right away.

Yes, you can, it is completely safe as the baby is well protected in the amniotic sac. But if you have any history of bleeding, placenta previa, or complications, then strictly avoid it. Always check with your doctor in your routine visit.

After delivery, the first few weeks are a blur, so make sure you utilize the hospital staff's help while you are there. I asked the lactation consultants and pediatricians at my hospital for a complete checklist on baby care and recovery. They are super helpful, so ask all your doubts clearly.

With my PCOS history, we were extremely cautious and decided to avoid intercourse in the first trimester just to be safe. Since the first few months are very delicate, it's really best to get a green light from your doctor first.

Don't stress too much about it babe, almost every pregnant woman goes through this! Just drink lots of water, eat your green veggies, and talk to your gynac if you need a gentle syrup. It gets better, I promise!
