An ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of your uterus, most commonly in your fallopian tube.

I'm in my 17th week of pregnancy and starting from my 7th week, I was taking progesterone 200mg. This week, my gynecologist told me to stop taking it, and I'm a bit worried. Is this normal, and could it have any impact on my baby?

Stopping progesterone supplementation at 17 weeks is a common practice, as the placenta typically takes over progesterone production by this gestational age; however, it's essential to follow your gynecologist's guidance, as individual circumstances may vary, and abruptly stopping progesterone can increase miscarriage risk in some cases.

my mom had her uterus removed 25 days ago but she's eating very little and feels tightness in her stomach with pain below the navel is this normal after surgery or should we see her gynecologist when can we expect her to fully recover

It's understandable to be concerned about your mom's post-hysterectomy recovery, especially with her reduced appetite and pain. While some pain and discomfort are normal in the weeks following surgery, persistent pain and difficulty eating warrant further evaluation by her gynecologist. A full recovery can take several weeks, and it's important to monitor for signs of complications like infection.
