I'm hoping to get some clarity about something that came up in my sister's recent ultrasound. It mentioned a mild prominence of the bilateral pelvicalyceal system. I'm a bit concerned about what this actually means for the baby and how serious it could be. She's currently 6.5 months pregnant, and I'm wondering if there are any steps we should be taking at this point. Any advice would be appreciated!

mild prominence of bilateral pelvicalyceal system is typically not serious and often resolves naturally. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for ongoing monitoring to ensure the babys kidneys are developing properly. After birth, if necessary, the baby may undergo further tests to assess kidney function.

I'm about 10 weeks pregnant, and earlier today I drank lemon juice with some soaked sabja, basil seeds. Later, I found out that maybe it's not safe to have sabja while pregnant. Is it true? Should I be worried about having it just this once?

no problem you can take

Can I still play badminton while I'm on my period? My period is already late, and now Im dealing with some back and abdominal pain. Should I be worried about playing sports with these symptoms?

Yes you can play it will not delay your periods but it might increase your back pain due to sternous activity

I'm 5 weeks pregnant with twins and I don't really feel any symptoms or feel pregnant at all. On top of that, I've caught a cold and I'm sneezing a lot. I'm really worried if everything's okay with my babies. Do you think they're safe or should I get another ultrasound? I had one done just 4 days ago. What do you think?

the lack of pregnancy symptoms at 5 weeks and the presence of a common cold are not usually causes for concern in a healthy pregnancy, especially if your ultrasound 4 days ago was normal. try toStay Calm,self-Care: Prioritize rest, hydration, and a healthy diet to support your immune system while you recover from your cold ,Keep up with your regular prenatal appointments and any prenatal vitamins or supplements recommended by your doctor. If youre feeling very worried, dont hesitate to reach out to your doctor for peace of mind.
