I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling like I might be leaking amniotic fluid. I'm also noticing that my baby has hiccups quite a lot these days. I'm worried about how quickly the amniotic fluid might decrease if there's a leak and what I should be looking out for in upcoming scans. Can you help me understand what's happening and what steps I should take?

I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period started on October 21st. On October 28th, my partner and I didn't have actual intercourse, just some rubbing of my vagina over his penis, and he's sure he didnt ejaculate. Just to be safe, I took the ipill on October 30th within 48 hours. Now, Ive been experiencing spotting since November 4th. It started with a few drops, then got heavier and red on the 5th, became even more on the 6th but was brown, and today, November 7th, the bleeding is red. Does this mean there's no chance of pregnancy?

Yes no need to worry you are not pregnant

I recently had an USG that showed a mild retroflexed uterus. Could this cause any issues in the future? Is it something that can correct itself naturally or would I need surgery or medication for it?

gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient

I've been noticing these large purple bruises showing up on my left breast, stomach, and thigh, and they're really warm. I haven't injured myself, so it's weird. Plus, the left side of my abdomen has been having this sharp pain and I've missed my period for about five days. What could be going on?
