When I was planning, my doctor made me do a test for rubella immunity first and I had to take the shot and wait a month. I felt so anxious about these rules, but then I realized it's just to keep the baby safe from any infection risks. Doctors know best, so don't worry.

Please don't rely on sugar tests at all, they can easily give a false positive or negative. For someone like me who had early complications, getting an accurate result quickly was critical. Use a medical test kit or get a blood test done at a lab for confirmation.

Look, sabja is naturally cooling, but pregnancy is not the time to experiment with new things in large quantities. If you want to have it, take just half a spoon once in a while, or better yet, clear it with your gynac first.

Initially, you'll think it's just gas bubbles acting up inside! But soon you'll realize it's the baby doing karate flips in there. Usually happens around 18-20 weeks, so hang in there!

Look for two lines on the stick, mine was super faint when I first checked before my morning walk. Honestly, just ask your doctor before continuing any heavy workouts or starting yoga, let them confirm it first.
