I'm a bit confused and hoping you can help. My wife is 16 weeks pregnant now and her first trimester scan at 8 weeks showed a normal single live intrauterine pregnancy. She's currently staying at her mom's and we're trying to figure out by when she should have the second trimester anomaly scan. We want to plan her return and schedule it properly. Also, with all the talk about the outdated MTP Act in our country, we just want to be on the safer side in case any serious complications arise. Could you advise on this?

The Anomaly scan (second trimester scan) is typically performed between 18-22 weeks of gestation, so your wife should plan to return and schedule the scan around 18-20 weeks, i.e., within the next 2-4 weeks.

My wife and I have been trying for a baby for a few months now. This month, her period lasted only half a day and it was just spots. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? We did a pregnancy test two days later, but it came out negative. Last time her period was 17 days late, but this month it was actually on time. This is the first time something like this has happened. Could there be something else going on? What's your take on this situation?

It is possible that a short and light period could be a sign of implantation bleeding, which can occur when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. However, since the pregnancy test was negative, it is less likely that this was due to pregnancy. A short and light period could be due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. It is also possible that the menstrual cycle may vary occasionally without indicating a serious issue. If this pattern continues or if there are other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm about six months pregnant and recently felt a strong pain in my lower right back. When I went to the doctor, they did a urine test and told me I have 810 cells of pus in my uterus. Now I'm worried because they also said my baby and placenta are low because of this infection. Should I be worried about this? What does it mean for my pregnancy?

Pus cells in the urine indicate an infection, which is common in pregnancy, please be hydrated and
