Yes, the body undergoes so many changes to grow this little soul, so feeling cold is just part of it. Keep yourself warm, drink warm water, and keep a positive mind. God has designed our bodies beautifully to handle all this, take care.

Please be very gentle with yourself right now. Implantation bleeding is very light, but it's safer to wait a couple of days after your missed period to test, as testing too early can give false negatives and cause unnecessary heartache.

I am in my 2nd trimester and honestly, I avoided all herbal medicines because I got so anxious. Did anyone else's doctor tell them to avoid such strong tablets?

Don't overcomplicate it, just avoid sitting in one position for more than 45 minutes. Use an ergonomic chair if you are working from home, and use a small footrest to keep your feet elevated. Keep a bottle of water nearby so you stay hydrated throughout the day.

I remember struggling with my breathing during my sleep in the third trimester. Looking back, I'm glad I discussed it with my doctor who suggested sleeping strictly on my left side with multiple pillows. Don't worry, it usually gets better after delivery, but check with your doctor first.
