Not all miscarriages are physically painful, but most of them have cramping. The cramps are really strong for some people and light for others.

I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

You can take it no problem.
