I understand how easy it is to worry about everything when you are pregnant, but please don't blame yourself. Stress does not cause autism, so breathe easy. You are doing a wonderful job.

Oh, I remember having all sorts of random side pains while dealing with terrible nausea. It's usually just round ligament pain, but since pain can be tricky, please call your gynac to get a quick confirmation.

Dehydration leads to low amniotic fluid levels and muscle spasms, which definitely trigger cramping. Keep a target of at least 8-10 glasses of water daily. If you've hydrated and still have persistent cramps, please get it checked by your gynecologist.

Actually, I just delivered three months back and my doc strictly told me to avoid raw papaya. Ripe papaya is said to be okay, but honestly, I didn't take any risk and avoided both. Better to stay safe during these nine months.

It varies for everyone. For me, it took 6 months of regular light yoga and walking along with tracking my cycle to finally conceive. Make sure your body is healthy and active, but always check with your doctor first.
