Most moms feel the first kicks between 18 to 22 weeks. Around this time you also have the costly anomaly scan, so it's a very exciting but busy month financially with tests and planning. Just hold on, you'll feel those beautiful movements very soon!

The third month can feel very anxiety-inducing, especially as you approach the end of the first trimester. Please don't overexert yourself, avoid any sudden heavy lifting, and if you ever feel cramps or spotting, call your doctor immediately. Sending you so much love.

I would be so scared to use any electrical device like TENS during pregnancy, what if it affects the baby? Please be very careful and do not use it on your abdomen or lower back without talking to your doctor first.

My pregnancy tracker app mentioned that mild cramping is common as the embryo implants. It's often called implantation cramping. If they are severe or one-sided, make sure to consult your gynac.

Regular moderate walking and basic butterfly stretches are amazing for blood circulation! 😊 Just 30 minutes of daily activity helps reduce stress which is so important for conceiving. Keep a happy mind and keep moving!
