Actually, my pregnancy app had a whole article on this! It recommended removing metal rings around week 20 to prevent stretching and infections. If you really want to keep the hole open, you can buy those flexible, extra-long pregnancy plastic retainers online.

Look, delayed pregnancy just means having a baby at an older age, usually after 35. There is no need to panic or listen to people's comments, just consult a good doctor and follow their advice.

I felt so nervous when they took my blood for the thalassemia test during my first visit. But the nurse explained it is just to ensure the baby doesn't inherit any blood disorders. It was such a relief when the report came back normal.

Beta, mild stretching pain is normal in early days. Rest as much as possible, keep your feet up, and drink warm water. But remember, don't take any hot heating pads or strong home remedies without asking a doctor.

Yes dear, you can eat them in small amounts. Just pray, stay happy, and whatever you eat, eat with a positive mind. God will keep you and the baby safe and healthy.
