I am still in my 24th week and honestly, hearing about week 30 symptoms makes me a bit nervous! Do the backaches and breathing issues really get very tough around that time? I hope we all get through this phase smoothly.

34 weeks and my stomach has no space, so I drink it in small portions. Afternoon seems the safest time to avoid heartburn.

My mother-in-law advised me to wait patiently for a week after the missed period before testing. However, my doctor said testing 1 or 2 days after a missed period with Prega News is perfectly fine. Just make sure to use the first morning urine.

I suggest waiting at least 4-5 days after your missed period for a strong, clear positive. Testing too early can sometimes show chemical pregnancies which can be heartbreaking. Please protect your peace and wait a little.

Honestly, save your kitchen salt for cooking! I tried all these weird internet hacks when I was sleep-deprived and desperate, but none of them actually work. Just get a Prega News kit from the chemist, it saves a lot of headache.
