I felt so scared when the doctor told me about my cyst during my 8-week scan, I literally started crying. But my doctor held my hand and explained it is just a pregnancy cyst that helps produce hormones. By my 16th week scan, it had completely vanished on its own.

Anything above 11 is perfect. It's very common for it to drop slightly because your blood volume increases to support the baby. Just stay consistent with your supplements.

Early back pain is quite common due to hormonal changes. Try resting on your side with a pillow between your knees.

Mild cramps are normal, but make sure to tell your doctor about it during your regular visits. When I had my thyroid issues, I was extra careful to report even minor pains to my gynac during my weekly checkups.

I felt so heartbroken when my sugar reports came back high, I literally cried thinking I did something wrong. But my doctor guided me so beautifully, and with a strict diet, my baby was born perfectly healthy.
