I'm 10 weeks pregnant and recently had an incomplete abortion, so I went through a D&C procedure on June 9th. Now, I've noticed there's some swelling in my abdomen, and it's quite painful. I only had bleeding for 2 to 3 days after the D&C. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Swelling and pain in the abdomen can be common after a D&C procedure. However, if the symptoms are severe or persistent, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to rest and avoid strenuous activities. If the symptoms worsen or you experience heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm currently 6 weeks and 1 day into my pregnancy, and it happened through IVF. I just found out that my baby's heartbeat is 98 bpm at 6 weeks and 1 day. Is this considered low or is there any risk involved? I'm a bit anxious and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.
