Is it okay to have sex during the early stages of pregnancy? Could it cause a miscarriage or bring on my period? I'm also curious about whether it's safe if I'm planning to get pregnant soon.

Generally, having intercourse during the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks) or while trying to conceive is safe and unlikely to cause miscarriage or induce periods; however, it's essential to practice safe sex to prevent infections, and women with a history of miscarriage, cervical insufficiency, or placenta previa

I'm 32 and expecting my second child, and I'm 5 weeks and 4 days along based on my scan. The scan didn't show the yolk sac yet, and my doctor said it might take up to 10 days more to see it. She mentioned it's normal for it to not be visible this early. Is this something I should be worried about, and when might I actually see the yolk sac and fetal pole?

based on your current gestational age, its likely that everything will be visible at your next scan in 10 days.

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.
