I'm five months pregnant and recently had an accident that caused jaw fractures I had surgery and now my teeth are broken so I'm stuck on liquids and soft foods. I'm worried this diet won't give my baby enough nutrients to grow properly. What foods can I eat to make sure my baby stays healthy even with these restrictions?

I recently found out that my periods are delayed by about 8 days, so I ended up taking a beta hCG test. The results showed a really low beta hCG level, and it indicates less than 4 weeks of pregnancy with a value of 242.9 mIUml. I'm concernedis having a low hCG level at this point something that could lead to a miscarriage? I'm not sure what to think and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.

repeat your hcg levels after 48hours see if you have increase in levels, then it is not miscarraige
