As a newly married individual experiencing painful cuts near the vagina during sex, prioritize your comfort and health by trying the following: apply a topical antibiotic ointment and cover with a breathable dressing to promote healing; take warm baths with baking soda or colloidal oatmeal to soothe the area; use a lubricant during sex to reduce friction; practice gentle and gradual intimacy; and consider consulting a gynecologist for personalized advice and treatment

I'm a bit concerned after our 29-week anomaly scan showed a collapsed fetal stomach. Everything seemed normal during the NT scan, so I'm wondering if this is something to be worried about. Could you provide some guidance or insight on this?

At 29 weeks, a collapsed fetal stomach can be transient, but monitoring is essential. Consult your obstetrician for personalized guidance. Typically, follow-up ultrasounds at 32-34 weeks and regular fetal movement tracking alleviate concerns. Review the ultrasound report and growth charts
