I'm 32 and expecting my second child, and I'm 5 weeks and 4 days along based on my scan. The scan didn't show the yolk sac yet, and my doctor said it might take up to 10 days more to see it. She mentioned it's normal for it to not be visible this early. Is this something I should be worried about, and when might I actually see the yolk sac and fetal pole?

Can I use the 10% Betadine solution for a sitz bath to help with my episiotomy stitches? I was previously using the 5% solution, but now I only have the 10% one. Is it safe to continue with the sitz bath using this higher concentration? Im just worried if it might be too strong.

Yes u you can

I've been keeping track of my wife's last period date, which was May 1st, 2021, and we've noticed that she missed her period this month. We've done four pregnancy tests at home, and all of them came out positive. So, we're really wondering if this means she's actually pregnant?
