When I was trying, I felt so much pressure every month when my periods came. I realized keeping stress away and just connecting with my husband made the biggest difference.

My doctor at the hospital told us that intimacy is safe in a low-risk pregnancy, but missionary might feel uncomfortable as your belly grows. It is always best to ask your gynac clearly during your visit to make sure there are no complications like placenta previa.

Mild stretching pain in the lower abdomen is quite common as the uterus grows. Putting a warm compress or taking a warm bath usually gives great relief. But if you have any severe cramping or spotting, please go to your doctor immediately.

Many women have small cysts and go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancies without any issues. Just make sure to eat a balanced, low-sugar diet and keep up with your regular doctor checkups.

Oh, this actually happened to me in my first trimester! I got a negative urine test even though I was pregnant, probably because my dates were off. Did anyone else get a negative and then a strong positive blood test later?
