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 have blocked fallopian tubes and PCOS, been married for a year and trying for a baby. The allopathic doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are other treatments like massage or ways to regulate periods naturally. Can you suggest any alternatives?

I'm a bit concerned because yesterday I did some dry humping while wearing my panties and shorts, and this morning I noticed some black accumulation that might be blood. Should I be worried about this? I'm not a virgin, so I'm a bit confused about what's going on. Can you help me understand what this could be?

Its possible that the black accumulation you noticed is old blood, which can happen due to friction or minor irritation. Since you're not a virgin, it could also be related to your menstrual cycle. If the symptoms persist or you experience discomfort, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.
