Hey, I had a C-section back in February. It's been almost 4 months, so I'm wondering when it'll be safe for me to start sleeping on my stomach again. I'm a bit concerned about doing it too soon, any advice?

I'm really concerned because post-pregnancy, I'm dealing with a fungal infection and blood in my stool. My doctor prescribed me to look at cream and itaspor for the fungal issue and proctosedyl for the piles. I'm also taking iron and calcium tablets. I'm confused and worried because someone mentioned that I shouldn't use proctosedyl while having a fungal infection. Can I use them both at the same time, or should I be avoiding it?
There is no such indication,better visit Dermatologist and follow their advice

I'm 33 and pregnant, about six months along. I've been keeping an eye on my pulse rate using an oximeter, and it's usually about 100 beats per minute. But today, it spiked to 130 beats per minute. Is this something I should be worried about?
