Usually, mild itching is just the skin stretching, but sometimes intense itching can indicate a liver issue like cholestasis, which I had during my pregnancy. Please don't ignore it if it gets severe, and show it to your gynac to be safe.

I delivered a few months ago and did squats till my 8th month. My tip is to keep your feet wide apart and toes pointed slightly out to make room for the belly. Use a wall for balance and never hold your breath while going down.

Load up on broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, and carrots. They are packed with folate and iron. Just make sure you wash them extremely well to avoid any bacterial infections, and cook them properly.

There is absolutely no standard prenatal test that can diagnose autism during pregnancy. If you are worried because of a family history, please sit down with your gynac and discuss genetic screening options like NIPT, but don't Google randomly.

Honestly, pregnancy is just one blood test after another, my arms looked like a pincushion! ICT is basically to check Rh blood group compatibility. My brain is too fried to explain the science, but it's totally routine, so just get it done and treat yourself to a nice juice after!
