I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I've had a cold and cough recently. The cold is gone, but now I just have a dry cough that's making it really hard to sleep. Plus, my throat really hurts from all the coughing. I'm looking for some pregnancy-safe medicine that can give quick relief because the pain is just too much. By the way, I got tested and it's not COVID. Can you help me out with what I can take?

I've been a bit anxious lately because back in December, I used Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I did get my period once I stopped taking them. But the thing is, now it's January, and I haven't had my period yet. I'm really wondering if this could be a side effect from the Meprate I took last month, or should I be thinking about taking a pregnancy test? What's your take on this?

u test it first

Lately, I've been noticing that when I wake up in the morning, theres a sort of smell down there. It's not like fishy or anything, more like a bad morning breath kinda smell. It's happened a few times over the years, and I'm wondering if my inconsistent diet might be a factor. But it does go away after I shower. Is this something I should be worried about or is it normal?

It's physiological only Don't worry
