I'm 5 months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take Lupiheme tablets every other day. I've been reading online that it might not be safe. Can anyone help me figure out if I should be taking this? I'm a bit unsure about what to do.

I'm a bit concerned after our 29-week anomaly scan showed a collapsed fetal stomach. Everything seemed normal during the NT scan, so I'm wondering if this is something to be worried about. Could you provide some guidance or insight on this?

At 29 weeks, a collapsed fetal stomach can be transient, but monitoring is essential. Consult your obstetrician for personalized guidance. Typically, follow-up ultrasounds at 32-34 weeks and regular fetal movement tracking alleviate concerns. Review the ultrasound report and growth charts
