I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows threaded. Could it affect the baby in any way?

Threading your eyebrows during pregnancy, specifically at 21 weeks, is generally considered safe for the baby, as it's a superficial procedure that doesn't involve any chemicals or invasive techniques that could harm the fetus; however, it's essential to ensure the threading salon follows proper hygiene and sanitation procedures to minimize the risk of infection.

I couldn't get an appointment and missed my NT scan, and now my doctor has recommended a quadruple test. The problem is, every clinic is asking for the NT scan report, which I dont have. I'm 16 weeks pregnant, and I'm not sure what to do. Can you provide any guidance?

I'm a bit worried and curious about something. I had a beta hCG test done in the 8th week and the result was 0.5 ml. Plus, my ultrasound report from the 6th week looked normal. Is there any possibility of being pregnant with these results? I've done just one beta hCG test this month. Can you help clarify this?
