I've got a couple of things on my mind. I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant and wondering if it's okay to have bournvita milk during pregnancy? It really tastes good, and I'm curious if it's safe for my baby. Today, I had two tablespoons in warm milk for the first time and now I'm questioning if it's alright to keep having it throughout my pregnancy. Another thing, my ObGyn recommended Mothers Horlicks to me but I can't seem to find it anywhere, not even online. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

It's generally safe to have Bournvita in moderation during pregnancy, but keep in mind it contains sugar and added ingredients. 1-2 tablespoons with milk is fine, but you should be cautious not to overconsume. For a substitute for Mother's Horlicks, you can try other pregnancy-specific nutritional drinks like Ensure or Similac Mom, or consult your doctor for alternative options that meet your nutritional needs.

View allI'm 22 weeks along in my first pregnancy, and after a recent scan, my cervical length measured 2.9 cm. At the NT scan, it was 3 cm. Should I be worried about this change in cervical length, or is it considered normal?
Cervical length of less than 3cm measured between 20-24 weeks of gestation is associated with preterm births and favours vaginal birth whereas, cervical length of more than 4cm is associated with postdated pregnancy and increased incidence of cesarean section.

I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
normal period cramps
