My fertility specialist at the hospital explained that sperm can survive for a few days, so tracking ovulation is key. They suggested having intercourse every 24 to 48 hours during that window. You can easily get an ovulation tracker app to help.
I know family members sometimes say things about baby's color, but please don't let it get to you. All babies are incredibly beautiful and perfect just the way they are born. Focus on loving yourself and your growing baby, that's what is most important right now.
It is mostly fine to use an inhaler occasionally for a blocked nose, but don't inhale it deeply all day. Try taking hot water steam with a little salt or ajwain, that is a very simple and safe home remedy that really works.
Keep it simple and don't overthink positions because sperm reaches where it needs to anyway. Just track your fertile days using ovulation strips and have regular intercourse every alternate day during that week. Stressing over 'how to do it' only delays things.
For me, 38 weeks felt like the longest part of my 9th month. I was just waiting for the labor pain to start any day. It's officially the last month, so hang in there!
