I have always loved coffee, a bit too much actually. But was able to give it up for the last two years.

I didn't plan on having it during pregnancy, but it is the only thing that helps me with the severe constipation I am having these days.

So I think drinking a cuppa every 3-4 days is acceptable and safe? This morning I enjoyed a cup of coffee with fresh cream and soon after had the best poop of my life. 🙈🙈🙈

I know pregnancy causes weight gain, but was not expecting it to start from the first trimester itself.

This is specifically for those carrying twins. I am around 8 weeks and just today the scale told me I gained 4 kgs. Last time I checked was during 4th week when I found out.

Just want to know if it is normal. Thank you.

P.S. I am not obsessed with the weight as long as my babies are doing well. But just want to be aware. Because my doc told me I might be susceptible to GD as I am anyway heavy. No history of diabetes though, 37F.

TW: MC, Loss

Last year I was pregnant. It was my first. We were thrilled for the new journey, but unfortunately it was cut short because of BO.

I was traumatised and depressed. After doctor's advice I made a series of life style changes, let my body and heart heal before trying again. We took a 6 months break, during which we prepared ourselves for the future.

I stopped obsessing over ovulation, cycle length, tracking, many of you perhaps know the drill. I was exhausted, so just decided to let it all go.

Thankfully, I conceived again. Around 6 weeks now, and my date scan is due soon. Unlike last time, we havent shared it with anyone except mom.

I am not doing any research this time, and have fully decided to trust my doctor to take care of me. I am just focusing on eating healthy, sleeping well, and maintaining my peace.

I am not over joyed. I am just neutral. I am trying hard to not compare this one with last exp, but it is very difficult. No one told me pregnancy after loss will make me this anxious.

I am feeling guilty for being practical this time. I am feeling guilty for being more scared than happy. I am feeling guilty for not celebrating this joy yet.

I want to ask, ladies in similar situation, how did you deal with it or dealing with it? What made it easier for you? What made you not scared?
