I'm 22 weeks pregnant and just got my anomaly scan done today. I'm a bit worried about whether everything looks normal. Is a fetal heart rate of 159 bpm okay or is it on the higher side?

Based on typical fetal development, at 22 weeks, normal parameters include a fetal heart rate between 110-160 bpm, so 159 bpm is within the normal range

I've just turned 23 and I'm a bit worried because I'm missing my periods. Today marks the 8th day they should have started, but there's nothing yet. It's unusual for me since I haven't experienced a delay like this in the past three years. The only time I had a delay was when I traveled abroad in 2013, and it was a 15-day delay. Last month, my period was only three days late. I had protected sex earlier this month, and I even took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. Do you know why this might be happening or when I might get my periods?

Its possible that your period is delayed due to stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal fluctuations, especially since youve had a minor delay last month. Since your pregnancy test was negative and youve had protected sex, there's likely no need to worry. Its normal for occasional delays to happen, but if the delay continues or you have other concerns, its a good idea to consult with your doctor.

I'm feeling pretty anxious right now. My wife is in her 5th month of pregnancy, and we just completed the Tiffa scan, which showed a single umbilical artery. While they said the baby is healthy, we're really worried about what this could mean going forward. Can you help us understand what this single umbilical cord might imply or if there's anything specific we should be concerned about?

-It's understandable to be concerned, but a single umbilical artery (SUA) is often seen in healthy pregnancies. While it can be associated with certain risks, many babies with SUA are born healthy. Your doctor will likely monitor the pregnancy closely to
