I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?

Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin

I'm a bit concerned because I've had to take the morning-after pill three times this month, and now I'm worried since I haven't gotten my period yet. It's been five days since I took the last pill. Is it normal for my period to be delayed because of this, or should I be worried about something else?

It is common for the menstrual cycle to be disrupted after taking emergency contraception multiple times in a month. The delay in your period could be due to the hormonal changes caused by the repeated use of ipill. However, if you are concerned about the delay in your period, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If you continue to experience irregular periods or have concerns, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

Does everyone bleed the first time?

Not always. Some women will bleed after having sex for the first time, while others won't. Both are perfectly normal.

I'm a 30-year-old married person and I recently found out there's free fluid in the pod. I'm not sure what that means for me. Could it indicate that I'm pregnant, or is it something else I should be aware of?

The presence of free fluid in the pod can be a sign of ovulation or early pregnancy. It is not a definitive indicator of pregnancy on its own. Further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the exact cause.
