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

Question

My wife is 15 weeks pregnant and we recently found out during her NT scan that she has a low-lying placenta. One doctor mentioned she might need a c-section and warned us about potential risks to both her and the baby's lives, which has me really worried. We also talked to another doctor who said it's not a big deal. I'm trying to understand what all of this really means and what the potential outcomes could be, especially the worst-case scenarios we should be prepared for. Could you help clarify this?

Question

I'm a 30-year-old married person and I recently found out there's free fluid in the pod. I'm not sure what that means for me. Could it indicate that I'm pregnant, or is it something else I should be aware of?

Question

So, my wife was supposed to have her period about two weeks ago, but it never showed up. We tried using a pregnancy test a couple of times, but it keeps saying negative. But now she tells me she actually got her period yesterday. We've been married for a year, and this is the first time she's ever missed her period. We're a bit confused right now. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
