I'm 68 weeks into a healthy pregnancy but have been dealing with slightly low blood pressure and morning sickness. Yesterday, my gynecologist prescribed me some medicine, and today I looked it up on Google. I read on Practo that this medicine is not recommended for pregnant women or those trying to get pregnant. I'm really worried and unsure about whether I should take it or not. Can you help me with this?

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and got some test results, but I'm not sure what they mean. It says I have a few ringworm of P. falciparum, and the Widal test shows some positive results. Does this mean I have a lot of malaria or any thyroid issues? Can these be treated so they don't harm me or my baby? Also, I often notice a cream discharge, but it usually doesn't have a smell. Could this be related? I would really appreciate your advice.

I'm five months pregnant and my recent ultrasound, the TIFFA scan, showed that my baby's kidneys are swelling. I'm really worried. Is this a major problem? Are there things I can do to help reduce the swelling before the next scan?

The swelling in your baby's kidneys, detected during the TIFFA scan at 5 months, may indicate a condition like hydronephrosis or pyelectasis, which can be caused by a urinary tract obstruction or infection; while it's a concern, many cases resolve on their own, and with proper monitoring and care, the prognosis is often good; to reduce swelling and ensure the best possible outcome, follow your doctor's recommendations, attend all scheduled prenatal appointments, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, including staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress.
