My mom needs open abdominal surgery to remove fibroids but our insurance only covers a general 6-bed ward in a well-known Mumbai hospital. Would she be better off staying there or going for a twin-sharing room in a smaller hospital? I'm worried about her comfort and recovery.

I can understand your concern. With your health policy documents comes a document in which all the affiliated hospital names are listed. Whichever you find the best, you can go there and get it operated. Any gynecologist would be able to perform this surgery. Therefore you have to consult a gynecologist of your choice and a hospital of your choice as per your insurance and then consult there.

Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.

I'm really worried because my ultrasound says I'm 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant, but based on my last menstrual period, I should actually be around 8 weeks. There's no foetal pole seen yet. Is there a chance my pregnancy might not continue? How long should I wait before knowing for sure?
The discrepancy between your gestational age based on LMP (8 weeks) and ultrasound (5 weeks 4 days) is concerning, and the absence of a fetal pole at 5 weeks 4 days is a potential indication of a non-viable pregnancy or a miscarriage, so your healthcare provider may recommend waiting for 1-2 weeks for a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the presence of a fetal pole or heartbeat, but the prognosis is uncertain, and emotional preparation for a potential miscarriage is essential.
