Question

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 feeling a bit anxious about something. My wife usually gets her period around the 25th of each month. We were intimate on August 10th, and she found out she was pregnant soon after. She took abortion pills on September 4th and got her period the next day. We were intimate again on September 26th. I'm just wondering, is there a possibility she could be pregnant again?
