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'm around 5 and a half weeks pregnant and I took mifepristone followed by 4 misopristone tablets vaginally about 4 hours later. I've had a blood clot since about 3 hours ago, along with pain and cramping. Plus, one tablet came out after 3 hours. Can you help me understand what's going on with my situation?

I'm a 30-year-old married person and I recently found out there's free fluid in the pod. I'm not sure what that means for me. Could it indicate that I'm pregnant, or is it something else I should be aware of?
The presence of free fluid in the pod can be a sign of ovulation or early pregnancy. It is not a definitive indicator of pregnancy on its own. Further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the exact cause.
