I've been feeling all the pregnancy symptoms latelynausea, throwing up after eating and even when I just drink water. I'm using the bathroom way more than usual, feeling lightheaded all day, and I've got these strange cramps in my lower stomach. But I only just finished my period about a week ago. My period before this was weird too; it lasted 8 days rather than the usual 3-4 days, though my last one was back to the regular length. Since I've had my tubes tied for almost three years, I'm puzzled. Could there be a chance that I'm pregnant, or what else might be going on?

It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms similar to pregnancy, but since you had your tubes tied and recently had your period, its unlikely you're pregnant. However, if the symptoms persist, it might be worth checking with your doctor to rule out other causes.

I'm a bit worried because it's been about 20 days since my C-section, and now I'm noticing some puss coming out from the incision. There's a sort of pimple or bubble that's formed along the incision line. Is this something I should be concerned about? What could be causing it, and should I see someone about it?

It sounds like there might be an infection at the incision site, which can happen after surgery. I recommend seeing your doctor as soon as possible to have the area examined, and they may suggest draining the pus and possibly prescribing antibiotics to help with the infection. Take care of the wound by keeping it clean and avoiding any irritation.
