I'm feeling pretty anxious right now. My wife is in her 5th month of pregnancy, and we just completed the Tiffa scan, which showed a single umbilical artery. While they said the baby is healthy, we're really worried about what this could mean going forward. Can you help us understand what this single umbilical cord might imply or if there's anything specific we should be concerned about?

Question

I'm currently pregnant and considering taking M2 tone, but I'm really worried about whether it could cause a miscarriage. Could you please let me know if it's safe during pregnancy?

I've recently had a medical termination and after 15 days, I found out there are retained products. My doctor used 2 tablets to help but I'm only feeling lower back pain and no other symptoms. How long until bleeding starts? Can retained products be expelled through bleeding, or will they come out with my period? Is it safe to wait until my next period for them to pass? I'm really worried and would appreciate some advice.
