I'm 15 weeks pregnant and just got my NT scan and double marker tests done. I'm worried about my results and need to know if they're normal. My FBHCG is 193 ngmlis that okay? Also, my biochemical T21 risk is 1:178. Does that mean there's a significant risk? My nuchal translucency is 1.7 mm and NT MoM is 1.09. My report mentions the trisomy 21 risk is negative, as well as the trisomy 1318 screen. Can you help me understand what all this means?

Based on your report, your parameters appear normal: the free beta-hCG (193ngml) is within the typical range for 15 weeks gestation, the biochemical T21 risk (1:178) is considered low-risk, and the nuchal translucency (1.7mm) with a MoM of 1.09 is also within normal limits, and with the trisomy 21, 13, and 18 screens all reported as negative, your results indicate a low risk for these chromosomal abnormalities.

I'm a bit worried and curious about when it's safe to have sex after my wife had a family planning operation on 9th August 2017. We have two daughters, and I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything right. How long should we wait?

What kegel exercises will improve your sex life?

Exercises that target pelvic floor muscles are to be done.To find your pelvic floor muscles, stop urinating in midstream or tighten the muscles that keep you from passing gas. Both actions use your pelvic floor muscles. Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, you can exercise them in any position. However, you might find it easier to do them lying down at first. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles, hold for three seconds and then relax for three seconds. Try it a few times in a row. When your muscles get stronger, try doing Kegel exercises while sitting, standing or walking. For best results, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Avoid holding your breath. Instead, breathe freely during the exercises. Repeat three times a day. Aim to do at least three sets of 10 repetitions a day.
