I'm currently using an Aerocort inhaler for my asthma attacks, but now that I'm three weeks pregnant, I'm worried if it's safe for my baby. Is Aerocort okay to use during pregnancy, or is there a safer alternative I should consider?

Aerocort inhaler, which contains beclometasone and salbutamol, is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy for managing asthma, as it helps control symptoms and reduce risks to both you and the baby. However, its essential to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to review alternative options based on your pregnancy stage. Your doctor may adjust your medication to ensure both your safety and the baby's health.

I have a question about my periods. After having physical relations, I took an I-pill and got my period last month, but I haven't gotten it this month. Could there be a chance of pregnancy? Can you explain in detail?

I'm currently one month pregnant, but I'm not ready for that now and I'm thinking about abortion. I've heard stories about how certain pills might affect my ability to get pregnant later on, and it's got me really worried. Is that true? If not, what are the options? Also, I tried eating papaya and pineapple and even took hot showers, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice?

You can consider using the medicine Mankind's Unwanted Kit for medical abortion. It contains a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol which are effective in terminating early pregnancies. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration of these medications.
