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 confused about taking Krimson 35. I finished my pack, and on the 4th or 5th day afterward, I got my period. Should I start taking Krimson on the first day of my period, or do I need to wait for seven days to start again? I'm just trying to make sure I get the timing right.

You should start Krimson 35 on the first day of your period. There's no need to wait for seven days; just begin the new pack as prescribed. If you have concerns, it's always a good idea to confirm with your doctor.
