I'm a bit worried because I accidentally took 2 Zandu Parad tablets a few weeks ago, and I'm currently one month pregnant. The tablets have mercury 30 mg and Khatika 60 mg in them. They're usually used in households for things like protecting grains. I haven't had any symptoms or felt unwell, but I'm concerned about any potential effects on my baby. Could there be any risks or side effects from this? Would love some advice on what I should do next.

if you have consumed it 20 days ago and now pregnant since one month(ie your last periods was around 12th of April I guess) then nothing to worry much as baby wasn't formed yet 20 days ago.. and moreover you consumed safe limit of mercury so only you dint have any symptoms.. if you still have worry then your usg at 10-12weeks wil tel if baby is normal or not as by then all parts of you baby will be formed well..if your stil anxious then consult your physician and obstetrician once..

My wife is struggling with vaginal dryness, and it's becoming a bit of an issue for us when it comes to our intimacy. Could you recommend a good vaginal lubricant that we can pick up at the local pharmacy?

This is often the result of not enough foreplay. Insufficient lubrication is also commonly caused by a drop in estrogen levels after menopause, after childbirth or during breast-feeding. Certain medications are known to inhibit desire or arousal, which can decrease lubrication and make sex painful. These include antidepressants, high blood pressure medications, sedatives, antihistamines and certain birth control pills. This includes injury or irritation from an accident, pelvic surgery, female circumcision or a cut made during childbirth to enlarge the birth canal (episiotomy). An infection in your genital area or urinary tract can cause painful intercourse. Eczema or other skin problems in your genital area also can be the problem...Involuntary spasms of the muscles of the vaginal wall (vaginismus) can make attempts at penetration...consult gynecologist they will help you further

I had a c-section about 5 months ago, and my tummy still looks bigger. I'm breastfeeding my baby and haven't introduced any formula milk. I've even gotten my periods back. What can I do to help reduce my tummy size?
