I've been noticing these large purple bruises showing up on my left breast, stomach, and thigh, and they're really warm. I haven't injured myself, so it's weird. Plus, the left side of my abdomen has been having this sharp pain and I've missed my period for about five days. What could be going on?

I'm two months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take doxinate for managing nausea. I'm just wondering, when's the best time to take doxinate during the first trimester?

-Hi! You can take Doxinate 30 minutes before meals, especially in the morning, to help prevent nausea throughout the day. If your nausea worsens at specific times, adjust accordingly, like taking it at night for morning sickness. Always follow your doctor
