I'm Hema, and I'm 29 years old. I've been feeling really uncomfortable with a lot of itching and burning in my private area. I'm pregnant, currently in my 14th week, so I'm really worried about what's safe for me to use. Could you please suggest some meds or remedies that could help with this?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I had a cerclage done at 20 weeks, and now I'm thinking about heading back to my hometown. The doctor mentioned it might be okay to travel after 28 weeks, but I'm still feeling unsure. I'm considering a long car trip of about 45 hours sometime during my 28th to 32nd week. Do you think that's safe?

Traveling between 28-32 weeks is generally considered safe for most women, but since you have a cervical cerclage, its important to discuss this in detail with your healthcare provider. If your doctor gives you the go-ahead and you are feeling well, taking necessary precautions during travel (frequent breaks, hydration, proper seatbelt use) should be fine. Avoid traveling if you're experiencing complications, and always have a backup plan for medical assistance.
