How do miscarriages look?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Bleeding may start as light spotting, or it could be heavier and appear as a gush of blood. As the cervix dilates to empty, the bleeding becomes heavier. The heaviest bleeding is generally over within three to five hours from the time heavy bleeding begins.

Hey, I've been diagnosed with PCOS and my ob-gyn recommended I take Althea pills. I'm a bit worried thoughwhat happens if I get my period before finishing the 21 days of pills? Should I stop for 7 days and then continue with the remaining pills? I'm just a little confused about how to handle this.

If you get your period before completing the 21 days of Althea pills, continue taking the pills as prescribed until you finish the full 21 days. There's no need to stop the pills for 7 days; just complete the pack and start the next one on time. Always check with your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and having trouble with my bowel movements. They've gotten irregular, only happening every other day, and haven't improved even after adding more fiber and water to my diet, plus drinking lemon and orange juice. For the past three weeks, I've also been dealing with lower back and abdominal pain that shifts from discomfort to sharp pain quickly, and it sometimes shoots down into my legs. I'm really worried about all thisdo you think it's safe for me to try a teaspoon of castor oil to help relax my bowel?

HELLO, YOU CAN TAKE CASTOR OIL,OK
