I'm in my fifth month of pregnancy and I've heard that urad dal is good for me. I'm curious if it's safe to eat urad dal papad dough, especially because I like it with pepper. Is it okay for me to have this during pregnancy?

It is generally okay to consume urad dal and papad dough during pregnancy as long as it is prepared safely, cooked well, and eaten in moderation. If you have any concerns or experience discomfort like bloating or indigestion, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider.

I'm curious about whether it's safe to do fingering during pregnancy and what precautions I should be aware of. Also, is it okay to have oral sex during this time? Just want to make sure everything's safe for the baby.

I'm a bit concerned because I had my baby girl via c-section on June 28th, and now it's been 12 weeks, but I'm experiencing this brown watery discharge. It seems to happen quite often, and I'm wondering if this is normal or something that might be hinting at an infection?

I'm a bit concerned because I took misoprostol after getting advice from a gynecologist, and now it's the third day, and I'm still experiencing irregular bleeding. I was 6 weeks pregnant when I took the abortion pill. Is this kind of bleeding normal, or should I be worried?

After taking misoprostol for a medical abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy, it is normal to experience irregular bleeding for up to 1-2 weeks. If the bleeding is heavy or persists beyond 2 weeks, please consult your gynecologist. You can take ibuprofen for pain relief and consider using sanitary pads instead of tampons to reduce the risk of infection.
