Symptoms to Watch:

Pregnancy Test:

Consult a Healthcare Provider:

View allI'm 17 weeks pregnant and I've had a cold and cough recently. The cold is gone, but now I just have a dry cough that's making it really hard to sleep.

I'm 23 and I've taken the ipill three times this year. I'm worried about whether I should consult a doctor about it. Could there be severe side effects from using it so often? How often is it safe to use the ipill?
I-pills are emergency contraceptive pills and there is no problem in taking 3 pills in a year.

I'm really worried because I just realized that I've been drinking water from a dark bottle for the past couple of days, and it turns out there are these tiny red worms in it. I'm six months pregnant, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Are these worms harmful or dangerous for me and my baby?
No need to worry, all the red worms will be killed & digested with the acid present in your stomach. It is a protein rich diet
