I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I got my period on April 12th and ended up having unprotected sex on the 5th day, which was April 16th. Just to be cautious, I took a pill on April 18th, within the 72-hour window. Then on May 3rd, I started bleeding again, but it wasn't as heavy as my normal period and went on for 45 days. I had all the usual period symptoms like cramps and back pain. Now I'm not sure if that was withdrawal bleeding or if my period just came early. Todays the 20th and I still havent got my period, assuming that previous bleeding was withdrawal. Is there a chance I might be pregnant?

I'm a little worried because my last period was on June 16th and it hasn't started in July at all. It's been 23 days since my period was supposed to start, and I just took a pregnancy test today but it came back negative. Should I retest for pregnancy later on, or is there a chance something else could be going on with my health?

I'm 30 years old and currently 20 weeks pregnant. At 13 weeks, my NT measurement was 3.2mm. Both my amniocentesis and NIPT reports came back showing low risk. I've attached my anomaly scan report from my 20th week, and I'm just wondering if everything looks normal?

Drinking water before eating bananas or any fruit is generally safe. However, it's recommended to have a gap of at least 30 minutes to 1 hour between drinking water and eating fruits. This allows for: Proper digestion of the fruit Prevention of dilution of digestive enzymes Reduced risk of bloating or discomfort But, if you're thirsty, drink water and wait for a short period before eating the fruit.
