Question

My wife is about 5 months pregnant and she's been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable itching for the past couple of weeks. I'm really concerned about it and wondering if there's any safe medicine or anything we could try to help with this.

For itching during pregnancy, especially in the 5th month, consider the following options under medical guidance: topical creams like calamine lotion, aqueous cream, or E45 cream; oral antihistamines like chlorpheniramine; or natural remedies like coconut oil, olive oil, or oatmeal baths; however, always consult your obstetrician before administering any medication to ensure safety for both mother and fetus.

Question

For how long is it safe to keep taking those Menosan tablets from Himalaya? I've already been on them for about 3 months now and I'm also on Neurobion Forte. Should I be worried or is it fine to continue?

Question

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?

Question

I'm about four months pregnant and my gynaecologist started me on cutenox injections back in my second month. Lately, I'm noticing that my thigh muscles are getting hard from the injections and it takes a while for the spots to heal. One time, after an injection, I started bleeding and it took hours to stop, even though my platelets are fine. My doctor wants me to continue these injections for the whole nine months. Is this safe for such a long period? And if I decide to stop them, could it harm my baby? I'm worried and would love some clarity.
