My girlfriend and I are really worried. Her last period started on March 1st and we had unprotected sex on March 17th. She took an emergency contraception pill just three hours after. Now, weeks later, she's missed her period, and we've taken three pregnancy tests, which all came back positive. She's also been experiencing stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting. What should we do?

Sounds like your girlfriend may be experiencing symptoms of early pregnancy. The stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms during the early stages of pregnancy. For nausea and vomiting, she can take Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 25mg three times a day. For stomach cramps and lower back pain, she can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. It is important for her to stay hydrated and eat small, frequent meals to help with the symptoms. I recommend consulting with an obstetrician for further evaluation and management of her pregnancy.

I've been told during my level 2 scan that I have a low lying placenta, specifically 1.3 cm from the OS. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to fly. If it is safe, how far into my pregnancy can I travel by air? If flying isn't recommended, what precautions should I take?

In cases of low lying placenta with advancement in pregnancy there is higher risk of bleeding PV hence bed rest is adviced,better not to travel ,if it si cumpolsary follow your doctors advice

I'm about 10 weeks pregnant, and earlier today I drank lemon juice with some soaked sabja, basil seeds. Later, I found out that maybe it's not safe to have sabja while pregnant. Is it true? Should I be worried about having it just this once?

no problem you can take

I'm currently one month pregnant, but I'm not ready for that now and I'm thinking about abortion. I've heard stories about how certain pills might affect my ability to get pregnant later on, and it's got me really worried. Is that true? If not, what are the options? Also, I tried eating papaya and pineapple and even took hot showers, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice?

You can consider using the medicine Mankind's Unwanted Kit for medical abortion. It contains a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol which are effective in terminating early pregnancies. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration of these medications.
