I'm kind of curious about something. I've been married for a couple of years, and my husband is really into sucking my nipples for a long time, like almost every day. I do enjoy it, but sometimes it's for like an hour on each breast, and he also pinches one nipple while sucking the other. It's fun, honestly. But here's the thing: I'm wondering if there's a chance I could start producing milk even though I don't have kids yet. Does this kind of stimulation make that possible?

While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.

I'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?

What retained products are you taking about?? Retained placental bits or abortion.. It has to be removed, some times they get expelled but if not it causes sepsis and shock like condition..

I recently had an anomaly scan and my babys heart rate was 183. The technician and my gynecologist both said its normal, but Im still feeling a bit worried. Is this heart rate really okay at this stage?

Hii, at 22 weeks and 6 days, a fetal heart rate of 183 beats per minute is within the normal range. Fetal heart rates can vary throughout the pregnancy, but typically range from 120 to 160 beats per minute. Since both the technician and your gynecologist have confirmed that the anomaly scan is normal, there is likely no cause for concern. Just continue with your regular prenatal care and follow-up appointments.
