I'm wondering about the possibility of having twins after two eggs were ruptured with an HCG injection. If both eggs get fertilized, are twins likely? And in a case where only one egg fertilizes, what happens to the other egg that was ruptured?

My wife's just entered her first month of pregnancy and we're curious about whether it's safe for us to have sex. If it is okay, could you please suggest what positions might be safe during this time?

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy! In the first month, it's generally safe to have sex unless advised otherwise by her doctor. Comfortable positions, like side-lying or her on top, can help avoid pressure on the abdomen. Always communicate with your wife and check with her doctor for any specific concerns.

Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?

No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.
