I'm in my second trimester and I'm thinking about starting to use something for moisturizing my skin to prevent stretch marks. Is Bio Oil safe to use during pregnancy? Could it harm the baby or cause any birth defects? I'm a little concerned and would love some guidance.

I had an injection last July for an abortion, and ever since, I've been feeling pain at the injection site on my butt. A few days later, I noticed a hard lump where the injection was given, and it's been there for 8 months now. I'm really worried if this could be something dangerous. Can you let me know what's going on?

After an injection for abortion, it is possible to develop a lump at the injection site. This is known as an injection site reaction. In most cases, these lumps are not dangerous and can take some time to resolve on their own. However, if the lump persists for 8 months, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any potential complications. You can try using a warm compress on the area to help reduce the lump. If the lump is causing pain or continues to grow, you may need further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any discomfort.

I'm currently in my 35th week of pregnancy and just did a growth scan today. They said my placenta is at grade 1 maturity. Plus, my baby is positioned in the anterior upper segment. Should I be concerned about the placenta maturity grade at this stage? And is the baby's position in the anterior upper segment considered normal?
