I'm 22 weeks pregnant and just got my anomaly scan done today. I'm a bit worried about whether everything looks normal. Is a fetal heart rate of 159 bpm okay or is it on the higher side?

Based on typical fetal development, at 22 weeks, normal parameters include a fetal heart rate between 110-160 bpm, so 159 bpm is within the normal range

I'm currently in my first trimester and have been experiencing a lot of nausea. I've heard about Doxinate, but I'm worried about whether it's really safe to take during this stage of pregnancy. Are there any risks or side effects for the baby that I should be aware of?

Doxinate is a combination of doxylamine and pyridoxine, commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It is considered safe to use during the first trimester of pregnancy. Studies have shown that it does not increase the risk of birth defects or other adverse outcomes for the baby. The usual dosage of Doxinate during pregnancy is 1 tablet at bedtime, and if needed, 1 tablet in the morning and 1 tablet in the afternoon. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the prescribed amount. Common side effects of Doxinate may include drowsiness, dry mouth, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If you experience any concerning side effects, it is important to consult your healthcare provider. Overall, Doxinate can be safely used during the first trimester of pregnancy to help manage nausea, with minimal risk to the baby.
