My wife is 12 weeks pregnant and she's been coughing a lot, which is making her stomach hurt. Can you let me know what medications are safe for her to take to treat the cough at this stage of pregnancy?

I've been hearing a lot about Tiffa and 4D scans during pregnancy. Is there any connection between the two? And do you think a 4D scan is really necessary?

This is required only to ascertain the anomaly in the fetus.

I've been experiencing a white, skin-like discharge mixed with a curd-like substance from my private area. There's no itching, smell, or pain involved. I'm a bit concerned and unsure of what's happening. I'm currently using an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment, but I'm not sure if it's the right approach. Could you please give me some guidance on what this might be and if I'm doing the right thing?

That's Candidiasis, visit Gynaecologist for appropriate management

I'm hoping to get pregnant and had an HCG injection of 5000ui on the 15th and 17th days, with ovulation confirmed on the 18th day. I took a UPT on the 32nd day and it was positive. Could the result be a false positive because of the injections or could I really be pregnant? I also have hypothyroidism.

no need to worry if i\upt is positive that say you are pregnant gat na ultarsound done for confirmation and visit your doctor for appropriate management
