I'm 37 and in my 36th week of my first pregnancy. My ObGyn said I have a genetic blood clotting issue that's affecting the baby's growth she's small at 2.25 kg, and I even lost 2 kg last week. They prescribed daily Innohep 450 injections to help, but I'm worried since I'm planning a C-section. Could this medication cause excessive bleeding during surgery?

Yes, Innohep (enoxaparin) can increase the risk of bleeding, including during a C-section. It's a low-molecular-weight heparin, a type of anticoagulant, meaning it prevents blood clots but can also make it harder for the blood to clot. Because of this, it's crucial to discuss this with your ObGyn and surgeon.

I've recently noticed a small lump under my areola on my right breast, right next to the nipple. It's kind of like a hard ball and doesn't hurt when I touch it, but I can move it around a bit. I'm feeling under the weather with a cold right now. Could it be related, or should I be worried about something more serious?

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really struggling and could really use some advice. I've been married since March 26, 2016, and my husband and I have tried many times, but we just can't seem to have successful intercourse. Every time we try, my body tenses up because I'm so scared of the pain from penetration. It's making everything really difficult. Do you have any advice on what we can do about this? I'm feeling pretty worried about it.

It sounds like you're experiencing physical discomfort during intercourse, which could be due to muscle tension or psychological factors like anxiety. I recommend consulting a gynecologist to explore potential causes such as vaginismus or other medical conditions. Relaxation techniques and counseling might also help alleviate the tension and make the experience more comfortable.
