I'm 6 months pregnant and my gynecologist mentioned getting a cervical cerclage because I've had previous abortions. I've been having stomach and groin pain. I also had an ASD device closure in October 2020 and am currently taking Ecosprin 75. Do you think it's safe for me to proceed with the cervical cerclage? Could there be any complications I should be aware of?

This procedure can help prevent premature birth and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy. To help with the pain in your stomach and groin, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Since you are already taking Ecosprin 75, continue taking it as prescribed by your doctor to prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the placenta. Make sure to follow your gynecologist's advice and attend all recommended prenatal check-ups for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My husband has been getting treatment for lymph node tuberculosis for the past 9 months, but he stopped the medication 10 days ago and seems to be better now. We've been married for a year and I've been wondering if it's okay to try to conceive during his TB treatment. Now my period's late and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. Is there a risk with his recent medication, or is it safe for us to start planning for a baby?

It's generally safe to conceive if your husband has completed treatment for lymph node TB and is cured. If he was still on medication, it might have been advisable to consult your doctor for guidance. Since your periods are delayed, take a pregnancy test to confirm, and consult your gynecologist for further advice.
