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?

My baby's weight is 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Is this normal? What can I do to help increase the babys weight?

A baby weighing 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy is slightly below average but can still be normal, depending on overall growth patterns. To support healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein (like lentils, eggs, or dairy), iron, calcium, and essential vitamins. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor the baby's growth and ensure proper care.

I'm a 26-year-old pregnant woman currently taking ecosprin 75 mg as my doctor advised. I'm a bit worried and just wanted to check if it's safe to continue using this medication during pregnancy. Can you help clarify this for me?

Ecosprin 75 mg (aspirin) is generally considered safe for pregnant women in low doses, but only under medical supervision, as it can help reduce the risk of preeclampsia and pregnancy complications; however, always follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring to minimize potential risks to you and your baby.
