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 had a sterilization procedure done 8 years ago after having two daughters. Now I'm hoping to have a boy is there any treatment or surgery that could help me conceive again? What options do I have?

Sterilization reversal is complex and rarely successful; IVF with gender selection is illegal in India but consult fertility specialist for safe advice.

I'm really worried because it feels like there's a water ball in my stomach. I don't know what the exact medical term is for it. Should I be seeing a gynecologist or a gastroenterologist to get this checked out?

The presence of a "water ball" in the stomach could refer to fluid accumulation, possibly indicating a cyst, ascites, or another condition. It's best to consult a **gastroenterologist** first, as they specialize in digestive system issues, including the stomach. If it's related to gynecological causes, the gastroenterologist may refer you to a gynecologist for further evaluation.
