Question

I'm a bit confused and hoping you can help. My wife is 16 weeks pregnant now and her first trimester scan at 8 weeks showed a normal single live intrauterine pregnancy. She's currently staying at her mom's and we're trying to figure out by when she should have the second trimester anomaly scan. We want to plan her return and schedule it properly. Also, with all the talk about the outdated MTP Act in our country, we just want to be on the safer side in case any serious complications arise. Could you advise on this?

The Anomaly scan (second trimester scan) is typically performed between 18-22 weeks of gestation, so your wife should plan to return and schedule the scan around 18-20 weeks, i.e., within the next 2-4 weeks.

Question

I'm kind of anxious about something and could really use some advice. So, I had protected sex using a condom just a couple of days before my period started on the 29th, and then I got my period on the 31st. Do you think there's any chance I could be pregnant? I'm also thinking about whether I should take an emergency contraceptive pill like an ipill, but I'm worried it might mess up my period. Is it a good idea to take it, or should I just not worry about this?

Question

I've just found out I'm pregnant and I'm in my first month. I've caught a cold and I'm wondering if it's safe to take D Cold tablets? I'm really concerned about what's safe during pregnancy since everything is so new to me. Can you provide some advice on this?

Question
