View allI'm feeling really unsure and need some advice. My girlfriend got pregnant back in January 2018, and we decided to go for an abortion. She's O negative and I'm B positive, so the doctor gave her an anti-D injection back then. Now, she's pregnant again in June 2018, and we're considering another abortion because we're not ready for a baby. I'm a bit worried and wondering if she needs another anti-D injection this time. Also, what's the best way to go about the abortion safely? Would love some guidance on this.

I'm just wondering if it's safe to go for a normal delivery with my amniotic fluid index measuring between 9 and 10 cm. I'm currently 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Should I be concerned, or is it generally okay at this stage?
your AFI of 9-10 cm is in the normal range and should not pose a concern for your delivery. Normal delivery can proceed, but your doctor will consider other factors during labor and delivery. Always follow your doctor's advice and keep attending your prenatal appointments to monitor both your health and the baby's well-being.

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?
no problem you have to take
