My wife is due to deliver in Kerala, and she's planning to travel on January 8th, 2017. She'll be nine months pregnant by then. We're wondering if it's safe for her to travel by car or train since the journey will take more than 10 hours. What do you think?

I'm really concerned about this ongoing heavy bleeding I've been experiencing for the past three weeks. It's been diagnosed as uterine polyps around 2cm, and the bleeding isn't stopping even with taking Pause and Sylate. Is there any way to control the bleeding without having to remove the polyps?

Given the heavy bleeding and ineffectiveness of Pause and Sylate, consider consulting your gynecologist
