Lower abdominal pain in females is mostly due to gastrointestinal and genito-urinary conditions such as urinary infection, kidney stones, appendicitis, Irritable bowel syndrome, Endometriosis, Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) and ovulation pain. You need to watch for additional symptoms such as burning urine, frequent urination, blood in urine, loose motions, constipation, bloating, vomiting and site of pain to know the cause.

I'm recently married, and every time I have sex with my husband, it's really painful because my vagina feels so tight. I'm wondering if using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse might help. But I'm also worried if these oils could affect my chances of getting pregnant. Are there any oils that are safe to use that won't impact pregnancy?

Using coconut or sesame oil during intercourse is safe, but it may reduce the effectiveness of latex condoms if you're using them. To avoid pregnancy-related concerns, opt for water-based lubricants like Pre-Seed, which are sperm-friendly and won't hinder conception.

Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?

No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.
