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?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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 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.

I'm really worried and need some advice. Can pregnancy actually happen if it's just fingering on the 8th day of my cycle and there was some precum involved? I'm certain there wasn't any ejaculation or actual penetration, but I can't stop thinking about it. Is there a real risk of getting pregnant this way?
