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?

Risks of Using Abortion Pills (Misoprostol) Without Medical Supervision

Possible Risks and Complications:

Incomplete abortion: Retained fetal tissue can lead to infection or bleeding.

Heavy bleeding: Prolonged or severe bleeding can lead to hemorrhage or anemia.

Infection: Bacterial infections, such as sepsis, can occur if the abortion is incomplete or if the pills are not used correctly.

Uterine rupture: Rare but life-threatening, especially if the woman has had previous uterine surgery.

Future pregnancy complications: Potential risks include:

Preterm labor

Low birth weight

Placental abruption

Uterine scarring

Long-term Effects on the Body:

Hormonal imbalance: Repeated use of abortion pills can disrupt hormonal balances.

Reproductive health issues: Potential risks include infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain.

Immediate Action Required:

Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with a gynecologist or a primary care physician to discuss the situation and potential risks.

Get a check-up: Undergo a thorough medical examination to rule out any complications or infections.

Question

My breasts are full of milk, and my husband is interested in feeding on them during sex. I'm worried and curious if this is hygienic. Can you please advise?

I've taken misoprostol today at 11 amtwo tablets of 200 mg eachbut there's no bleeding yet. Then, I took another two tablets around 7 pm. How long should I expect to wait before the bleeding starts? I'm getting a bit worried and would really appreciate some advice on what's normal in this situation.

Question

I had an episiotomy during childbirth about 3.5 years ago, and since then, a large piece of flesh was accidentally cut. It took a really long time to heal. Around 1.5 years after delivery, I noticed a small gland about the size of a cumin seed, and that's where the pain started. It has grown a lot, and now it's about 2 inches long. The pain is constant and gets worse after my menstrual cycle. Could you advise on what might be going on and which consultant I should see? I'm a bit worried.
