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've been worried about traveling on the bumpy roads in Bangalore since I'm 22 weeks pregnant. I need to travel 14km each way to work by bus, and it feels like there's a jerk, pothole, or bump every 10 seconds. I chose the bus over a car or auto thinking it would be smoother, but the bumps still seem pretty intense. Could this be harmful or cause any complications? I'm quite anxious and would appreciate any advice you could share.

Yes you are not supposed to travel on such roads, better to avoid if not , that could lead to serious problems

I'm pregnant and I've noticed that one of my nipples is retracting or going inward. What could this mean, and should I be worried? If I decide to see a doctor, do you have any idea how much a hospital visit might cost for something like this?

You can take a urine pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. It sounds like you may be experiencing inverted nipples, which can sometimes occur during pregnancy. To help with this issue, you can try using a nipple extractor or breast shells to draw out the nipple. Additionally, gently massaging the nipple and expressing milk can also help. As for the cost at the hospital, it can vary depending on your location and the specific services you receive. It would be best to contact the hospital or your healthcare provider for more information on the potential costs. During pregnancy, it's important to take care of your breasts and nipples to prepare for breastfeeding. If you have any concerns or if the issue persists, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
