I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?

Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin

I've been having some issues with my periods being late by over 15 days sometimes, and lately, I've felt like vomiting, been really hungry, and kind of dizzy. My usual date was April 18, and I'm worried that I might be pregnant. How soon can I check to see if the result is positive or negative? Also, I accidentally drank pineapple Rasna juice before I knew you're not supposed to have pineapple when trying to conceive. Could this cause any problems like a miscarriage if Im actually pregnant? I'm really stressed about it and would appreciate some advice.

I'm wondering if taking the I-pill can cause really heavy periods that go on for a week or more? I've been experiencing extremely heavy bleeding for days now, and it's definitely more intense than my usual periods. Should I be concerned about this?

Yes, I-pill can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle, including heavier or prolonged periods, as it contains a high dose of hormones. If your periods are unusually heavy for several days, it might be a side effect. If it persists, its a good idea to consult a doctor.
