I had a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration and my doctor prescribed freedase 30 for 21 days starting the day after surgery but I'm not sure why I need to take these tablets can you explain the reason for this medication after my procedure

Freedase 30, a combined hormonal contraceptive, is prescribed after a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration to help regulate menstrual cycles, potentially reduce heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), and manage acne. It may also help prevent pregnancy, although this is not the primary reason for the prescription in this case

I'm 19 weeks along in my pregnancy and just got my TIFFA scan done last week. They said everything looks normal with the baby's movements and measurements, but they mentioned a thick abdomen and poor window. I'm really worried about what this means for my baby. Should I be concerned? Is there something specific I should be looking out for?

Ideally there wont be issues scan might be repeated after 2 weeks if it is still the same then evaluation is needed,visit Obstetrician and follow their advice
