Question 1

I'm hoping to get some clarity about something that came up in my sister's recent ultrasound. It mentioned a mild prominence of the bilateral pelvicalyceal system. I'm a bit concerned about what this actually means for the baby and how serious it could be. She's currently 6.5 months pregnant, and I'm wondering if there are any steps we should be taking at this point. Any advice would be appreciated!

Accepted Answer

mild prominence of bilateral pelvicalyceal system  is typically not serious and often resolves naturally. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for ongoing monitoring to ensure the babys kidneys are developing properly. After birth, if necessary, the baby may undergo further tests to assess kidney function.

Question 2

I'm feeling pretty anxious right now. My wife is in her 5th month of pregnancy, and we just completed the Tiffa scan, which showed a single umbilical artery. While they said the baby is healthy, we're really worried about what this could mean going forward. Can you help us understand what this single umbilical cord might imply or if there's anything specific we should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

-It's understandable to be concerned, but a single umbilical artery (SUA) is often seen in healthy pregnancies. While it can be associated with certain risks, many babies with SUA are born healthy. Your doctor will likely monitor the pregnancy closely to

Question 3

I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse is safe, but it may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms if you're using them. To avoid pregnancy-related concerns, opt for water-based lubricants like Pre-Seed, which are sperm-friendly and won't hinder conception.

I'm about a month pregnant and I'm really concerned about what shampoo I should be using. Currently, I have Moroccan oil shampoois that safe for me right now?

Dove shampoo and conditioner are safe too if you want to go for something milder.
