I'm currently pregnant and using an inhaler, but I'm a bit worried about its safety during this time. Could you recommend an inhaler that's considered completely safe for pregnancy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
During pregnancy, it's important to avoid unnecessary medications, but inhalers like Salbutamol (a short-acting bronchodilator) are generally considered safe for asthma management. Always consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's the best option for you and your baby.

View allI'm kind of worried because my wife's pregnancy test at home came back positive, and when we got a urine HCG test done at the lab, it was positive too. The thing is, she's about 5 weeks along, but the ultrasound didn't show a gestational sac. Does this mean she's actually pregnant, or should we be concerned?
Repeat the scan at 7 weeks of gestation and observe,follow your Obstetricians advice.

I'm a little concerned about my beta hCG levels. I had my last menstrual period on September 19, and I ovulated around October 5. I just got my beta hCG test results back, and they came in at 558 mIUmL on the 34th day since my LMP. Is this normal? Should I be worried or is everything okay with these numbers?
Your beta-hCG result of 558 mIUmL is normal for this stage of pregnancy. If you're concerned or experiencing symptoms (e.g., spotting, cramping), or if youre unsure about the results, its best to follow up with your doctor for further guidance or a follow-up blood test to check how the levels are rising. An ultrasound can also provide a more accurate assessment of the pregnancy's progress.
