The usual symptoms of miscarriage are vaginal bleeding and lower tummy (abdominal) cramps. You may then pass something from the vagina, which often looks like a blood clot or clots.

I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results which came back with O at 140 and H at 180. I'm also pregnant, so I'm really concerned about whether these results indicate a positive or negative for typhoid fever. Could you help me understand what this means for my health and my pregnancy?

it means typhoid only but it is not a very specific test esp if done before 7 days of fever. kindly get a blood culture to confirm the same

I'm kinda worried and need some advice. So, on 19th October, me and my girlfriend got pretty close. It was the 22nd day of her cycle. We had some intimate contact, like rubbing our private parts, but there was no actual penetration or ejaculation. Maybe a little precum was involved. I'm just really concernedcould she possibly get pregnant from this?

While the risk of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate is low, it is not entirely zero, especially if sperm came into contact with the vaginal area. Since your girlfriend was on the 22nd day of her cycle, it was near her ovulation period, which can increase the chance of pregnancy. If you're concerned, it's advisable to take a home pregnancy test or consult a doctor.
