I'm really curious about the best methods for birth control. Are birth control pills actually safe for women? And if they are, which pill is considered the best with the least side effects? I've heard a lot of conflicting information and would love some clarity on this.

My wife is 9 months pregnant and her C-section is scheduled for this week, but she suddenly caught a cold and cough because of the rainy season. Can you recommend a safe cough syrup for the last trimester that won't harm the baby? Also, if her cough doesn't clear up before the surgery, could it delay the delivery date?

For cold in 9-month pregnant woman, use syrup like Benadryl or Grilinctus BM after OB consult‚Äîmild cold won't usually delay C-section unless fever or breathing issues occur.
