You can do it, but sometimes it shows negative even if you are pregnant because the hormone levels are low. Keep your body warm, eat healthy, and test again if your period gets late.

I was so panicked and anxious in my first trimester that I waited until my 12-week scan was completely normal before telling anyone besides my husband. Honestly, waiting till the first trimester is over gives you so much peace of mind, so don't rush it if you feel nervous.

Mild cramping or stretching pain is quite common in early pregnancy as your uterus expands. However, please remember that severe pain or any spotting is not normal. It is always best to consult your gynecologist to rule out any complications.

I love seafood but during pregnancy, I only ate it at highly trusted restaurants to avoid any risk of food poisoning. If you are busy, stick to simple, well-cooked home meals to be safe.

It is a divine surprise that only God knows. Since sex determination is illegal here, let us pray for a healthy child who brings joy to the family. Stay positive and take care.
