My wife is 9 months pregnant and her C-section is scheduled for this week, but she suddenly caught a cold and cough because of the rainy season. Can you recommend a safe cough syrup for the last trimester that won't harm the baby? Also, if her cough doesn't clear up before the surgery, could it delay the delivery date?

For cold in 9-month pregnant woman, use syrup like Benadryl or Grilinctus BM after OB consult—mild cold won't usually delay C-section unless fever or breathing issues occur.

I'm a bit worried because my wife is about six weeks pregnant based on her last menstrual period, although the doctor mentioned it might be earlier. We had an ultrasound today and the gestational sac and yolk sac are visible, but the doctor wasn't sure if the fetal pole is there. I've got the ultrasound picture with me. Does it look like there's a fetal pole in this image? Can you let me know what you think?

Based on the ultrasound image, a fetal pole should be visible around 5-6 weeks gestation. However, without visually examining the image, it's challenging to determine visibility. To clarify, consult the ultrasound specialist or radiologist who performed the scan.

I'm really worried after getting an ultrasound report which says my uterus is bulky and there's a hypoechoicovoid solid mass in the posterior uterine wall that's quite large at 42x31mm. There's also another similar mass, though smaller, about 16x15mm, in the anterior uterine wall. Could you explain what this means, and should I be concerned about these masses? What might this indicate about my health?

The ultrasound findings indicate that the uterus is bulky and contains two solid masses. One mass, measuring 4231 mm, is located in the posterior uterine wall, while another smaller mass of 1615 mm is found in the anterior uterine wall. These masses may require further evaluation by your doctor to determine their nature and appropriate management.
