Can I squish my unborn baby while sleeping?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There isn't much to worry about if you somehow find yourself on your stomach. The uterine walls and amniotic fluid protect your baby from being squished.

I've got a couple of things on my mind. I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's okay to have bournvita milk during pregnancy? It really tastes good, and I'm curious if it's safe for my baby. Today, I had two tablespoons in warm milk for the first time and now I'm questioning if it's alright to keep having it throughout my pregnancy. Another thing, my ObGyn recommended Mothers Horlicks to me but I can't seem to find it anywhere, not even online. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?
It's generally safe to have Bournvita in moderation during pregnancy, but keep in mind it contains sugar and added ingredients. 1-2 tablespoons with milk is fine, but you should be cautious not to overconsume. For a substitute for Mother's Horlicks, you can try other pregnancy-specific nutritional drinks like Ensure or Similac Mom, or consult your doctor for alternative options that meet your nutritional needs.

I'm a bit worried because my wife accidentally took Microdine vaginal tablets orally yesterday. Thankfully, she hasn't shown any negative symptoms so far, but I'm wondering if we should see a doctor. How serious could this be?
