Sometimes early delivery may be recommended because the baby is large.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.

I'm really concerned because I'm 3 days late on my period and that never happens to me. Normally, Id be getting these cramps, headaches, backaches, and mood swings right before my period starts, but even with all these symptoms, there's still nothing. I was supposed to get it on Friday, and now its Monday. I did something on Wednesday thats freaking me out a bitI masturbated after having sperm on my fingers, but I did wipe it off with tissue before that, and it wasn't immediate. Plus, on Saturday, I pushed myself really hard during a workout and ended up feeling dizzy and nauseous. Could either of these things be affecting my period, or is something else going on? I'm starting to panic here and would love some insight.

Periods get late upto 7 days from your regular timings, depending on various physical and psychological issues. Get relax and wait for next 3-4 days, if not start by then, you could consult a gynecologist.
