I had a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy on March 12 how long should I wait before being intimate with my husband again?

After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.

I'm 34 now and will be 35 when I give birth. I just had my 20-week anomaly scan and two soft markers showed up: Echogenic Intracardiac Focus and Bilateral Renal Pelvis measuring 4.1mm and 3.5mm. I went for a fetal echo and thankfully they didnt find any other issues. I also did the NIPT and it came back low risk. Im kinda worried and want to understand more about the Bilateral Renal Pelvis. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?

Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF): Likely a benign finding, not a concern especially with the normal fetal echo and low-risk NIPT. Bilateral Renal Pelvis Dilatation: Mild dilation (4.1mm and 3.5mm) is usually not a major concern and often resolves after birth. Continue with your routine prenatal care and follow-up ultrasounds if recommended by your doctor. Given the low-risk NIPT result and the absence of other abnormalities, the pregnancy seems to be progressing normally. If youre feeling uncertain, dont hesitate to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider
