Question 1

Hey, I'm 34 weeks and 2 days along, and my ultrasound shows a cephalic presentation with the placenta anterior. This is my fourth pregnancy. My first baby was a C-section at 33 weeks, second was a full-term SVD, and my third was a C-section at 36 weeks. It's been eight years since my last pregnancy. I'm currently on insulin with a dosage of 5050, 20 units in the morning and 10 at night. Do you think it's possible for me to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery this time around? I'm really curious about what would be safest for me and the baby.

Accepted Answer

Given the symptoms of cold, cough, and vomiting for 3 days, along with the medication already taken (antibiotic and cough syrup), here are some suggestions:

1. *Consult the pediatrician again*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with the pediatrician to reassess the child's condition and adjust the treatment plan if needed.
2. *Monitor vomiting*: If vomiting persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure the child stays hydrated with small, frequent sips of an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte).
3. *Cough syrup usage*: Continue administering the cough syrup as directed by the pediatrician. However, be aware of the potential side effects, such as drowsiness or stomach upset.
4. *Antibiotic course*: Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed by the pediatrician, even if symptoms seem to improve before finishing the medication.
5. *Supportive care*: Provide comfort measures, such as:
    - Offering a warm, comforting drink, like tea or broth.
    - Using a humidifier to relieve congestion.
    - Encouraging rest and relaxation.
6. *Watch for warning signs*: Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following:
    - Difficulty breathing
    - Severe vomiting or diarrhea
    - Fever above 104F (40C)
    - Severe headache or stiff neck
    - Refusal to drink fluids

Question 2

I'm really worried because I took the unwanted kit but I'm not bleeding. Should I try taking another one? If so, how many days should I wait? I'm 4 weeks pregnant and not considering surgical abortion. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If there is still no bleeding after a few days, you should have an ultrasound. If you still do not bleed within a few days (and you are positive that you were pregnant), then you may have either an ectopic pregnancy or a continuing pregnancy and you should have an ultrasound

Question 3

Is there a problem if you are bleeding but not on your period?

Accepted Answer

Yes

I'm feeling a bit concerned. My friend recently hugged her partner, and their lower private parts accidentally touched. She had on underwear and track pants, and he was wearing underwear and shorts. Is there any chance she could get pregnant from that?

No, it's highly unlikely that your friend could get pregnant in this situation. For pregnancy to occur, sperm needs to enter the vagina, which wasn't the case here. It's important to stay informed about safe practices to prevent any worries.
