I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling like I might be leaking amniotic fluid. I'm also noticing that my baby has hiccups quite a lot these days. I'm worried about how quickly the amniotic fluid might decrease if there's a leak and what I should be looking out for in upcoming scans. Can you help me understand what's happening and what steps I should take?

Can a woman know she is pregnant the next day?

I'm currently in my 7th month of pregnancy, and during my last scan, the doctor noted that my cervical length is 2.9. I'm really worried about whether this could lead to any complications or if there's a chance of going into early labor. Can you give me some advice or let me know what I should be looking out for?

I've missed my periods for over two months now and I'm starting to feel weak. I've tried eating papaya and pineapple but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried and wondering what else I could do or if I should be concerned? What might be causing this delay?
