I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?

I had a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration and my doctor prescribed freedase 30 for 21 days starting the day after surgery but I'm not sure why I need to take these tablets can you explain the reason for this medication after my procedure

Freedase 30, a combined hormonal contraceptive, is prescribed after a diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopic fulguration to help regulate menstrual cycles, potentially reduce heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), and manage acne. It may also help prevent pregnancy, although this is not the primary reason for the prescription in this case

I've been told during my level 2 scan that I have a low lying placenta, specifically 1.3 cm from the OS. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to fly. If it is safe, how far into my pregnancy can I travel by air? If flying isn't recommended, what precautions should I take?

In cases of low lying placenta with advancement in pregnancy there is higher risk of bleeding PV hence bed rest is adviced,better not to travel ,if it si cumpolsary follow your doctors advice
