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.

View allI'm really worried because I've been married for about four months, and every time my wife and I try to have sex, she experiences a lot of pain in her vagina. She's a virgin. What could be causing this, and how can we deal with it?
It's common for women to experience discomfort or pain during intercourse, especially if they're virgins. This can be due to tension, anxiety, or the hymen. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to ensure there are no underlying issues, and consider using a lubricant and taking things slowly to help ease the discomfort. Open communication with your wife is also important to ensure both of you are comfortable.

I'm a bit worried because I missed my period. Can I use a home test like Prega News to see if I'm pregnant, or should I do a urine or blood test at the lab?
Concerns about your daughter's weight and development are understandable. At 14 months, most children start walking and weigh around 9-10 kg. Consider the following: - Consult a pediatrician for personalized advice. - Ensure proper nutrition: Increase calorie intake with nutrient-rich foods. - Vitamin and mineral supplements may be necessary. Pediatrician may recommend: - Weight gain supplements like Pediasure or Ensure. - Vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone development. Please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance.
