Try One Of These 5 Homemade Hair Masks For Gorgeous Hair This Weekend
Let's face it – we women do a lot! Balancing work and home and juggling both responsibilities well is the most common concern of every single day of a working woman's life... and if you are a housewife, it's even tougher, because the job is never finished! One thing gets checked off the to-do list, and two more get added. The pressure of keeping up with all our duties and responsibilities is all too real to be ignored, and it only increases manifold as motherhood approaches.
Right from the time you conceive, to the time your baby is delivered, and then onwards till your child becomes a self-sufficient and independent adult – women are constantly stressed about one thing or the other. All this stress takes a toll on your health, and one of the first things to show signs of stress is your hair.

A. I think it would be advisable for you to get an ultrasound done with your doctor that’s going to give you a clarity because if there is a pregnancy it would be visible at least at least that sack is visible if it’s a regular pregnancy so it would be advisable to have a test with your doctor
