I just had my TIFFA scan at 21 weeks, and it showed that my cervix length is 2.9 cm. Is this normal? My doctor mentioned it's on the shorter side. Should I be concerned? Can I still do exercises, or is there something else I should be doing?

A cervix length of 2.9 cm at 21 weeks is considered short, increasing the risk of preterm labor; your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage, progesterone supplements, or pelvic rest; exercises like Kegel's and pelvic tilts may be beneficial, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercises or treatments.

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife is 20 weeks pregnant and her screening tests for Down syndrome all came back fine, except for the nuchal fold measurement, which is at 6.7mm. I'm wondering if we should be concerned about this? What could it mean for the baby?

Question

I'm dealing with a really bad cold, and it's making my nose run a lot. I'm also sneezing and coughing, and sometimes I get headaches too. I didnt see a doctor, but I took this medicine called Citzine. Now, I've noticed that my vaginal discharge seems a lot more than usualit's clear, slimy, and watery. Could this be related to my cold, or is it something else? Or maybe it's a side effect of the Citzine? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

Question

I recently took the emergency contraceptive pill, and I'm 17 years and 7 months old. I'm kind of worried, will it harm me? Also, I took it around the 50th hour after having sexwill it still be effective? And I'm curious, what are some common side effects of taking the pill? Can this make my period show up later than it usually does?
