I need to abort my baby at 22 weeks and Im really stressed out about this whole situation. My husband lied to me about his past, he was already married and has a family, and I just found out. I feel I cant handle this alone. Hes been pushing me to abort the baby and his first wife is also putting pressure on me, telling me to leave him and my in-laws. I feel so trapped and overwhelmed and sometimes I think about suicide but I can't go through with it. My parents have passed away and I have no one to turn to. Can you help me figure out what I should do?

I empathize with your distressing situation; however, I must emphasize that abortion laws and regulations vary by country and region. In many places, abortion after 20 weeks of gestation is heavily restricted or prohibited. I strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted healthcare provider, a crisis helpline, or a support organization for guidance and emotional suppor

How many pads a day is normal?

A very rough estimate would be four or five pads, assuming that you're getting at least the recommended 7 hours of sleep at night.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been noticing this yellow liquid discharge for about a month now. It varies between being thick and light, but there's no pain involved. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest what I should do?

Anxiety can indeed cause physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat and palpitations. However, in most cases, anxiety-related heart symptoms are not a sign of underlying heart disease. Nevertheless, chronic anxiety can increase cardiovascular risk factors over time, such as high blood pressure and heart rate. But sudden cardiac arrest or heart attack due to anxiety alone is rare. To alleviate concerns, consider consulting a cardiologist and a mental health professional. They can help you manage anxiety and monitor cardiovascular health.
