I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant, and my ultrasound is showing the baby's growth as being 37 weeks. Why could this be happening? I had my glucose tolerance test (GTT) in December, and the results were normal. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I've been in a bit of a dilemma. So, I had unprotected sex with my husband on the third day of my period and decided to take the i-pill just to be safe. Now, my period is way overdue; it's been about 15 days late. I went to see a gynecologist, and she prescribed Meprate 10mg. But I'm unsure about what to do next. Should I just wait it out and see if my period comes naturally, even though it's delayed? Or should I go ahead and take the Meprate to kickstart my cycle? I'm also concerned if there might be any side effects if I start taking it. Will I end up having to rely on medication to get my period from now on? Could really use some advice here.
Misses periods is the common sideeffects of ipill. Don't take meprate as it would thicken ur internal lining which has already thickened by ipill causing further periods problem. Just wait u would eventually get ur periods as ipill has got a high success rate

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
