I'm currently 36 weeks and 6 days pregnant, but I'm really anxious about the possibility of having a C-section. I had two miscarriages last year at 3 months, and although my APLA test came back negative, I'm taking ecospirin. My doctor mentioned that she won't wait beyond 38 weeks for a normal delivery because of my previous miscarriages, and I'm worried about not being able to wait for a natural birth. Is there any room to wait a bit longer for a normal delivery? Feeling confused about what to do.

My bartholin cysts keep coming back and they're so painful, sometimes they even burst on their own. Can you explain all the treatment options like marsupialization or surgery, and what actually works best long-term?
For recurring and painful Bartholin cysts that burst on their own, several treatment options exist, with marsupialization and surgery being common choices. Marsupialization, a surgical procedure, creates a permanent opening in the cyst, allowing fluid to drain freely, while other surgical options can include simple incision and drainage or, in more complex cases, removal of the Bartholin gland. While marsupialization can offer long-term relief for some, others may find that the cysts return, and surgical removal may be the best option for long-term resolution. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs and medical history.

I'm 31 and had my first IUI on August 17th. I had four follicles around 21-24mm and my husband's sperm count was 110 million. Now it's the fifth day post-IUI and I'm feeling mild cramping in my lower back and abdomen, similar to period cramps, but my period isn't due until September 4th. Should I be concerned about these symptoms or schedule a visit with my gynecologist?
The mild cramping you're experiencing five days post-IUI is likely due to ovulation or implantation, but to confirm and alleviate concerns, schedule a follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist around 14-16 days post-IUI for a pregnancy test
