I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I'm planning to travel to Assam during my 27th or 28th week. While most of my trip from Chennai will be by air, I'll spend the last two hours on some really bad and bumpy roads. Is it safe for someone in my condition to make this trip on such roads? What precautions should I take, and what emergency signs should I be on the lookout for, given that there isn't a good medical facility nearby?

Traveling during your 2728th week of pregnancy with bumpy roads may pose risks, such as discomfort, back pain, and potentially, preterm labor or placental abruption; to minimize risks, consider consulting your obstetrician before traveling, wear a seatbelt, take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid fatigue; monitor yourself for emergency signs, including severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, contractions, or decreased fetal movement, and research local medical facilities along your route in case of an emergency, despite their limitations.

I'm really worried about whether using this pill multiple times could cause issues with fertility in the future. Could it actually lead to infertility or affect my chances of having kids down the line?

I'm wondering about my 8 weeks 4 days scan. The gestational sac measured 27.9mm but is measuring 7 weeks 4 days. The fetal heart rate was over 175 and the CRL was 20mm. Is it normal for the sac to be measuring a week behind, and should I be concerned about any potential complications because of this?
The USG estimated gestational age is usually a few days different than lmp calculated gestational age
