I'm a bit worried because I missed my period. Can I use a home test like Prega News to see if I'm pregnant, or should I do a urine or blood test at the lab?

Concerns about your daughter's weight and development are understandable.

At 14 months, most children start walking and weigh around 9-10 kg.

Consider the following:

  • Consult a pediatrician for personalized advice.
  • Ensure proper nutrition: Increase calorie intake with nutrient-rich foods.
  • Vitamin and mineral supplements may be necessary.

Pediatrician may recommend:

  • Weight gain supplements like Pediasure or Ensure.
  • Vitamin D and calcium supplements for bone development.

Please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance.

I'm really concerned because I found out that there's a small, clear cyst on my cervix, and it's 9.66cm in length. I'm worried if this is a Nabothian cyst and if its something I should seriously consider surgery for. What should I do, or what kind of treatments are there?

Gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient.
