My wife is 7 months pregnant and she started vomiting, but then she noticed there was some blood mixed in. Should we be worried about this? Is it a serious issue or something normal during pregnancy?

Wound Healing and Fluid Discharge

Current Status

  1. 90% healed: The wound has made significant progress in healing.
  2. Small raw area remaining: A fingertip-sized area remains raw and discharging fluid.

Fluid Discharge

  1. Serous discharge: The clear, watery liquid is likely serous discharge, which can be a normal part of the healing process.
  2. Delayed healing: The persistent discharge might be hindering the healing process.

Recommendations

  1. Continue dressing and antibiotic treatment: Maintain regular dressing changes and antibiotic treatment as prescribed by Dr. Prashanth BN.
  2. Add a topical agent: Consider adding a topical agent like silver sulfadiazine or povidone-iodine to help control the discharge and promote healing.
  3. Elevate the affected leg: Whenever possible, elevate the affected leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling and promote healing.
  4. Monitor for infection: Keep an eye on the wound's appearance, smell, and overall condition. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or pus, seek medical attention immediately.

I'm really worried because I had sex about a week after my period ended. We used protection, but during foreplay, I think some precum might have accidentally touched my vagina. I wiped it off, but I'm still scared that I could get pregnant. Is this something I should be concerned about?

mostly no get it checked for reassurance

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I was on Duphaston 10mg once a day from the 15th to the 28th day of my cycle. After that, I did a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. I even got a Beta HCG test on the 28th day, which was also negative, and another urine pregnancy test on the 32nd day, and it was negative again. Normally, my cycle is pretty regular at 27-28 days. So now Im wondering, how many days after stopping Duphaston should I expect my period to start?

After stopping Duphaston, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, as Duphaston is a progesterone medication that regulates menstrual cycles, and its withdrawal typically triggers menstruation; given your regular 27-28 day cycle, you may experience your period around 3-5 days after stopping Duphaston, but this can vary from person to person.

I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy and started having this cough since last night. Could you suggest any remedies? I'm really concerned if this could be harmful to my baby.

As a pregnant woman in your 7th month, it's essential to manage your cough safely; consider trying warm liquids like tea or broth, honey, and saline drops; avoid cough medicines containing alcohol, caffeine, or codeine; instead, opt for pregnancy-safe cough medications like dextromethorphan or guaifenesin, after consulting your obstetrician; in general, a cough itself doesn't harm the baby, but underlying conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis can, so monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or persist.
