I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I've been taking supplements like iron, calcium, DHA, and Nutricel. I'm curious if lignocaine and lidocaine are the same thing. Also, is it safe to use lignocaine for a perineum massage at this stage of my pregnancy? I'm a bit worried about it.

I'm really worried because I took vaginal misoprostol two days ago, and there's still no bleeding. Is this normal? Should I be thinking about taking more, or is there something else going on?

If there's no bleeding after taking misoprostol, it could be due to individual variations in how your body responds to the medication. It's important not to take more without consulting your doctor, as they can assess your situation and determine the best course of action.
