View allI'm really concerned because my wife is two months pregnant and she's been vomiting a lot. The doctor gave her Ondem MD 4 to take twice a day, but I'm just worried if it's safe for her and our baby. Should we be cautious? Also, should she take it before or after meals? Please help with some advice.

Can I use the 10% Betadine solution for a sitz bath to help with my episiotomy stitches? I was previously using the 5% solution, but now I only have the 10% one. Is it safe to continue with the sitz bath using this higher concentration? Im just worried if it might be too strong.
