Question

I had two tetanus shots about a year and a half ago while I was pregnant. Now, I'm pregnant again and got a small scratch on my finger from a somewhat rusty scissor. Barely any blood came out, but I'm worried. Do I need another tetanus shot, or are the previous ones still enough to protect me?

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I just did my glucose tolerance test. My results came back showing that my fasting glucose is 79 mgdL, the 1-hour test is 219 mgdL, the 2-hour test is 192 mgdL, and the 3-hour test is 181 mgdL. My doctor suggested I start taking metformin tablets. I'm concerned about how this might affect my baby. Could you please help me understand if there's any potential impact on my baby from taking this medication?
