I'm five months pregnant and I've been dealing with a urine infection. My doctor suggested taking Niftran and Cital syrup. I'm really concerned if it's safe. Will these medications affect my baby in any way?

Yes you can take that no problem,consume plenty of water soo that infection would get washed out.

I've recently gotten engaged and I'm kind of worried because every time I meet my fianc, I end up getting really wet down there. It's a bit embarrassing sometimes because it even wets through my panties. It's an arranged marriage, so we haven't been intimate yet. Is this normal, or should I talk to a gynecologist about it? Is there anything I can do to reduce the wetness? It's making me feel a bit uncomfortable. Any advice would really help.

It's normal only it's physiological Don't worry
