Can I drink milk during my period?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having a lot of dairy products is not the best idea, as it can cause cramping. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and ice cream contain arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), which can increase inflammation and can intensify your period pain.

Milk Consumption During Periods
It's perfectly fine to drink milk during your period. Milk can be beneficial because:a. Calcium and Vitamin D: These nutrients support bone health and may ease menstrual cramps.
b. Protein and Hydration: Milk helps maintain energy levels.

Considerations
If dairy worsens digestive discomfort or bloating, adjust your intake. Otherwise, milk is safe and comforting as part of a balanced diet. -
Alternatives
If lactose intolerant or concerned about dairy, consider lactose-free milk or plant-based options.

View allI'm 9 weeks pregnant and this morning I noticed some watery discharge that was similar to pee. It was just that one time, but now I'm still having some kind of watery discharge, though there's no color or smell. I'm really worried about if this is harmful or not. Could you please let me know if there's something I should be worried about?

I'm six months pregnant and I've noticed that at night, my baby seems to move to the left side of my stomach. I can actually feel something round, like the baby's head, and sometimes it feels like the baby is pushing, which can be a bit uncomfortable. Is it normal for the baby to settle on one side of the stomach like this? Would really appreciate your help!
it is normal
