Every pregnancy is unique, but generally, the belly starts getting noticeably bigger around the 16th to 20th week. Just stay active, do your daily walks if allowed, and enjoy this beautiful phase!
Ah, I remember that first-month backache, I was so worried back then! Now my kid is a toddler and I realized it was just the hormones stretching the ligaments. You will get through this, don't worry.
Your TSH should ideally be checked as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed, usually in the first trimester. My doctor told me that maternal thyroid hormones are crucial for the baby's early brain development, so keeping TSH under 2.5 is the target.
Aloo got me through my whole pregnancy honestly, aloo paratha was my comfort food. Totally fine to eat yaar, just balance it with veggies and dont go full fried snacks every day. Cravings are real.
With twins my balance was totally gone, dancing was a no for me by 6 months. But early on slow swaying was fine. Listen to your body, it tells you when to stop.
