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'm a bit worried because I haven't had my periods for the last two months, and my doctor told me to take Duphaston 10mg for ten days. It's only been two days since I stopped taking the pills. I'm curious to know when I should expect my period to start. Is this normal?

-it's common to get your period within 3-7 days after stopping Duphaston, though it can vary a little. If you dont get your period within a week, follow up with your doctor to check for any underlying issues. Take care and dont stressits often

I'm two months pregnant and wondering if pills can help stop the pregnancy or if I need surgery. I've been having symptoms like morning sickness, extreme hair fall, tiredness, mood swings, and food tastes bland. I don't feel like eating because it makes me nauseous but I don't actually vomit. Do abortion pills or surgery have side effects? What should I eat if I can't stand food right now?

A gyanec opinion is advised for further treatment.
