Instead of guessing at home, getting a dating ultrasound around 8 weeks is the most accurate way, and it's not very expensive. It helps you plan your budget and delivery dates perfectly. Doctors always calculate using the first day of your last period.

I had mild itching on my belly which got worse when I sweated during my light walking sessions. My doctor suggested wearing loose cotton clothes and drinking lots of water. However, if the itching is intense, do consult your doctor before continuing any exercise.

It definitely affects the result because of the hormone levels. Because of my own past complications, I learned the hard way to never rely on early home tests after such injections. Always consult your doctor for a proper beta HCG blood test, they know the right timing.

I got these a lot during my third trimester. Make sure you stay well hydrated and talk to your gynac about checking your mineral levels.

I just had my baby last month and my gynac told me to always take meds with plain water. You can have nimbu pani later, but don't drink it right with or immediately after your tablets.
