I'm a bit worried because my wife's pregnancy test came back positive, but we weren't planning on having another baby right now since our little one is just two years old. Her period was supposed to start on the 23rd of this month. Could you give us some advice on what we should do next? We're really looking for a solution.

While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible. Precum can contain sperm, and if it comes into contact with the vagina, pregnancy can theoretically occur. However, the chances are very slim, especially without ejaculation or penetration. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the risk of pregnancy from precum is estimated to be around 1-4%.

Can I take glucose to help increase my amniotic fluid index? My AFI is currently at 10 cm, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant. What should I do to improve it?

One way to potentially increase your amniotic fluid levels is by staying hydrated and drinking plenty of fluids. Additionally, you can talk to your healthcare provider about taking medications such as Amnioinfusion, which is a procedure where saline solution is infused into the amniotic sac to increase fluid levels. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I've recently had a medical termination and after 15 days, I found out there are retained products. My doctor used 2 tablets to help but I'm only feeling lower back pain and no other symptoms. How long until bleeding starts? Can retained products be expelled through bleeding, or will they come out with my period? Is it safe to wait until my next period for them to pass? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.
