I'm 30 weeks pregnant and dealing with a really bad cough and cold. My doctor gave me histarine taxim o and perizole, but I'm worried about whether these are safe for my baby. Can you let me know if I should be taking these?

I'm 22 weeks along in my first pregnancy, and after a recent scan, my cervical length measured 2.9 cm. At the NT scan, it was 3 cm. Should I be worried about this change in cervical length, or is it considered normal?

Cervical length of less than 3cm measured between 20-24 weeks of gestation is associated with preterm births and favours vaginal birth whereas, cervical length of more than 4cm is associated with postdated pregnancy and increased incidence of cesarean section.

I've been pregnant for 6 weeks now, and for the last 34 days, every time I eat, I end up vomiting. I've been taking the pregnidoxin medicine once a day, but it just doesn't seem to be working anymore. The vomiting starts just half an hour after eating. Could it be that I'm eating too much, or is there something else going on?

I've been on Deviry for 5 days, and it's now the 10th day since I finished taking it, but I still haven't gotten my period. Normally, I'd have my period by the 7th day after finishing Deviry. Is there any reason why it might be delayed this time?

The delayed periods could be due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, thyroid issues, or underlying medical conditions. I would recommend consulting with your doctor to evaluate the cause of the delayed periods.
