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 curious about whether PCOS could be causing my periods to be so light. I used to have normal bleeding for about five days, but now its only lasting two. What could be causing this change?

Yes, PCOS can cause scanty periods. Reduced estrogen levels, thinning of the uterine lining, and increased androgen levels can contribute to lighter, shorter periods. Other possible causes include: - Hormonal imbalance - Ovulation issues - Insulin resistance - Stress - Weight changes
