At your first pregnancy checkup, your clinician confirms the pregnancy, estimates your due date, reviews your health history, and orders lab tests.

The first six weeks after birth work best when you focus on rest, healing, bonding with your baby, and gentle routines that fit your real life.

In the first two months of pregnancy, many women notice a missed period, fatigue, breast tenderness, nausea, frequent urination, and mood changes.

Numb or tingling fingers usually come from pressure on nerves in the hand, wrist, neck, or shoulder, often linked to posture or repetitive use.

Pregnancy tiredness comes from hormone shifts, extra blood volume, and constant body work, and small daily habits can make that exhaustion lighter.

High fiber meals during nursing help digestion, steady energy, and smoother bowel habits for both mother and baby.

Fever with loose stools in a baby needs close watching, steady hydration, and quick contact with a doctor when red flags appear.

Fever with a diaper rash often means irritation or infection, so watch comfort closely and contact your child’s doctor quickly if anything feels off.

When a baby has a warm forehead, stuffy nose, and trouble feeding, focus on comfort, clear breathing, and fast contact with a doctor for red flags.

Doctors determine a baby’s sex using ultrasound or genetic tests, usually with best accuracy from around 18–20 weeks of pregnancy.
