I have seen so many women in this community conceive healthy babies despite having thyroid issues. The key is to take your thyroid medicine daily at the same time and do regular blood tests every 4-6 weeks. Work closely with your gynac, and you'll get your good news soon!

Dilated means the mouth of the uterus is opening. Near labor it stretches up to 10 cm. If you are in your 9th month, doc will check this during internal exams to see how close you are to labor.

While high HCG levels can indicate twins, a first-trimester ultrasound is the only medically accurate way to know for sure. Consult your gynac for an early scan.

I used to recite Surah Zakariya's supplications from Surah Al-Anbiya while dealing with awful nausea later on too. It really gives you spiritual strength when physical symptoms make you weak. Hope this brings you peace.

In my experience, the extreme fatigue and lack of sleep in pregnancy can make your patience level very low, leading to anger. Be gentle with yourself and try to take small naps during the day. This phase will pass once you hold your little baby.
