I'm supposed to have sex during this specific period like my doctor suggested, but I've suddenly come down with a fever. Is it safe or advisable to proceed with sex while I'm not feeling well?

It's generally advisable to avoid sexual activity when you have a fever, as your body is already fighting an infection and may need rest. Engaging in sex could potentially strain your immune system further. It's important to prioritize your health and consult with your doctor for personalized guidance.

Question

My wife started her period today, and she noticed a piece of white flesh, about the size of a finger, soaked in blood. It's the second time this has happened. We're really concerned and would like to know what this might be and if there's any reason to worry. Could you please give us some insight into what it is and why it's happening?

Question

I'm a bit worried because my wife is about six weeks pregnant based on her last menstrual period, although the doctor mentioned it might be earlier. We had an ultrasound today and the gestational sac and yolk sac are visible, but the doctor wasn't sure if the fetal pole is there. I've got the ultrasound picture with me. Does it look like there's a fetal pole in this image? Can you let me know what you think?

Question

I'm looking at my 7th-month growth scan report and it mentions the placenta being on the posterior and right lateral wall with grade II maturity. What does that mean exactly? Should I be worried or take any special precautions because of this?
