I'm currently pregnant and have been using Practin syrup occasionally, like once or twice a month, just to help me sleep better when I'm having a hard time. I'm generally healthy and don't take any other meds. Should I be worried about any risks of using Practin during pregnancy? Just wondering if it's safe or if I should be looking for alternatives.

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and would prefer not to have a surgical abortion. I'm thinking about taking the abortion pill, but not sure how to go about it correctly. Could you guide me on how to take the tablets?
You should consult a gynecologist and opt for medical termination of pregnancy. You will be prescribed an MTP kit, or Mefrin Kit.

I'm 34 now and will be 35 when I give birth. I just had my 20-week anomaly scan and two soft markers showed up: Echogenic Intracardiac Focus and Bilateral Renal Pelvis measuring 4.1mm and 3.5mm. I went for a fetal echo and thankfully they didnt find any other issues. I also did the NIPT and it came back low risk. Im kinda worried and want to understand more about the Bilateral Renal Pelvis. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?
Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF): Likely a benign finding, not a concern especially with the normal fetal echo and low-risk NIPT. Bilateral Renal Pelvis Dilatation: Mild dilation (4.1mm and 3.5mm) is usually not a major concern and often resolves after birth. Continue with your routine prenatal care and follow-up ultrasounds if recommended by your doctor. Given the low-risk NIPT result and the absence of other abnormalities, the pregnancy seems to be progressing normally. If youre feeling uncertain, dont hesitate to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider
