I'm 12 weeks pregnant and went for my NT scan today. The ultrasound tech told me my baby's not in the right position to see its face. She tried twice with a 10-minute break in between, but it still didn't work. She said I should come back in the evening and if we still can't see anything, try again in a couple of days. She mentioned sometimes the baby's position isn't ideal for the scan, so it might take a few tries. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

View allI'm really worried because I've been married for about four months, and every time my wife and I try to have sex, she experiences a lot of pain in her vagina. She's a virgin. What could be causing this, and how can we deal with it?
It's common for women to experience discomfort or pain during intercourse, especially if they're virgins. This can be due to tension, anxiety, or the hymen. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to ensure there are no underlying issues, and consider using a lubricant and taking things slowly to help ease the discomfort. Open communication with your wife is also important to ensure both of you are comfortable.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and having twins, and I'm 30 years old. I've been dealing with really bad itching and redness on my belly for the past 10 days, and it's especially rough at night because I can't sleep at all. My LFT came back with high levelsAlkaline phosphatase is at 346 IUL, G.P.T. is 105.2 IUL, and another one is 101.4 IUL. I'm taking Udiliv 150 three times a day, but it's not helping. I'm worried about what's causing this and if there's any risk to my babies. What should I do?
Your symptoms and elevated liver enzymes suggest intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a condition that can increase the risk of preterm birth, fetal distress, and stillbirth; consult your obstetrician to discuss the best course of action, which may include switching to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or adding antihistamines or topical creams to alleviate itching, and closely monitoring fetal well-being and liver function to ensure the health and safety of both you and your twins.

I'm wondering if it's okay for my friend to start using Femilon, especially since she's taken emergency contraceptive pills like i-Pill and Unwanted 72 three times in the last four months. I'm curious about any side effects she might experience with Femilon, and I'm also worried if there could be any long-term issues like infertility. Whats your take on this?
Common side effects of Femilon include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, weight changes, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. It is generally safe to use Femilon after using emergency contraceptive pills multiple times. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Regarding long-term effects like infertility, there is no evidence to suggest that using Femilon will lead to infertility. However, prolonged and frequent use of emergency contraceptive pills is not recommended as they are intended for emergency use only. It is advisable for your friend to discuss her contraceptive options with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable method for her.
