I'm 30 weeks pregnant and just found out that my amniotic fluid index is 20.8 cm. I'm a bit worried if this is normal. My blood sugar levels and glucose tolerance test were normal, and I don't have an RH negative blood type. Could there be a reason for this high fluid level? And, is there anything I can do to reduce the excess fluid?

I've just turned 23 and I'm a bit worried because I'm missing my periods. Today marks the 8th day they should have started, but there's nothing yet. It's unusual for me since I haven't experienced a delay like this in the past three years. The only time I had a delay was when I traveled abroad in 2013, and it was a 15-day delay. Last month, my period was only three days late. I had protected sex earlier this month, and I even took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. Do you know why this might be happening or when I might get my periods?

Its possible that your period is delayed due to stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal fluctuations, especially since youve had a minor delay last month. Since your pregnancy test was negative and youve had protected sex, there's likely no need to worry. Its normal for occasional delays to happen, but if the delay continues or you have other concerns, its a good idea to consult with your doctor.
