I read online that hot water bags are okay but we must make sure they are not too hot. Did your doctor mention any specific safe heat level?

With twins, my hormones were double, so my breasts felt like heavy water balloons for the entire first trimester! It usually starts getting much better by week 12 or 13, so hang in there, buy some comfortable sports bras!

Green tea is fine but dont overdo it because of the caffeine content. It can actually interfere with how your body absorbs folic acid, which is so important right now. If you really crave it, one small cup a day is more than enough, but maybe ask your gynac first.

Do not sit side-saddle, it is highly unsafe and you can easily lose balance. Sit astride, wear flat shoes, and hold the rider properly. Avoid travelling on bikes during the first and third trimesters if you can take an auto or cab instead.

I had thyroid during my pregnancy, so my weight was fluctuating a lot. You should definitely check with your doctor to make sure your thyroid and sugar levels are fine. Regular follow-ups and a simple balanced diet will keep things in check.
