I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and I was wondering if it's safe to travel by train for about an hour. Also, is going by car a good option or safer? Anxious to know your thoughts on this.

At 21 weeks pregnant, short train or car journeys (like one hour) are generally safe, as long as you're comfortable and take breaks to move around. Ensure you stay hydrated and avoid sitting for too long. If you have any complications or concerns, it's best to consult your doctor beforehand.

I'm planning to start a clinic and lab in a month and I'm in need of a few doctors. Specifically, I'm looking for a radiologist, a general physician, dentists, and a gynecologist. Could you share some advice on how to find the best candidates and any key qualities I should look for in these roles?

Don't worry, it's normal to experience on-and-off morning sickness symptoms during early pregnancy. Hormonal fluctuations can cause varying levels of nausea and vomiting. Since you had a recent ultrasound confirming a healthy fetal heartbeat, it's likely that your symptoms are just subsiding temporarily. However, to alleviate your concerns, consider scheduling a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the pregnancy.

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my liver enzymes were high around week 32, so I started taking Udilv 300 tablets. Now the levels have returned to normal. Should I keep taking Udilv 300 until I deliver?

I took Primolut N for 10 days twice daily to delay my periods, and I've stopped it for the past 3 days. When can I expect my periods to start again? Also, I have a thyroid problem, so is that going to affect anything?

After stopping Primolut N, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, but this timeframe may vary due to individual hormonal responses and your pre-existing thyroid condition, which can affect menstrual regularity; monitor your body's response and consult your gynecologist if your periods are delayed beyond 7-10 days or if you experience any unusual symptoms.
