I'm feeling a bit worried because my wife is 20 weeks pregnant and her screening tests for Down syndrome all came back fine, except for the nuchal fold measurement, which is at 6.7mm. I'm wondering if we should be concerned about this? What could it mean for the baby?

View allI'm really worried because I have a white liquid discharge coming from one of my breasts when I squeeze my nipple, but it's not happening in my other breast. The fact that it's only on one side is making me anxious. I've been dealing with a viral fever for a week and have been taking different tablets, but nothing seems to help much. Could the discharge be a side effect of the medications? I've also been constipated for four days. I'm really concerned about whether this could be cancer. My breasts have always been a bit hard and small, unlike others, but they've been that way for as long as I can remember. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about cancer or something else?
