While poppy seeds are generally safe in moderation during pregnancy, it's important to be cautious and consult with your doctor if you have any concerns. If you're looking for other natural ways to improve sleep, there are plenty of alternatives like milk, bananas, herbal teas, and almonds that can help you relax and get better rest during pregnancy.

Could you help me understand why my wife might be experiencing less sexual performance? Are there any specific women's sex tablets, like women Viagra, that you could recommend? I'm looking for some better options and would really appreciate your advice on this.

For a cornual block in a right fallopian tube, non-surgical options like tubal cannulation, hysteroscopic surgery, and fertility treatments like IVF can be explored to avoid surgery. Tubal cannulation involves threading a catheter into the blocked tube to clear it, while hysteroscopic surgery uses a thin, lighted device inserted through the cervix to access and potentially remove the blockage. If surgical intervention is not possible or successful, fertility treatments like IVF can bypass the blocked tubes
