As Wakeetha said..try to take things on lighter sense...

You can also go for yoga session..they will teach you exercises for pregnancy.

Also you can listen to melody music and relax ur mind..there are special CDS available for pregnancy..check out for that...

keep urself somehow engaged in any hobbies like sweaterknitting...or some sort of painting..so that ur attention is diverted.

I m 11^th week of pregnancy, I am healthy. Do I still need to take iron and calcium tablets? It will create any side effects.

Most of the Indians are anemic and the diet is not sufficient in iron and calcium.hence we advise routinely iron and calcium supplementation.they can cause some discomfort in the stomach for few people.most of the time it is well tolerated
