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 30 years old and currently 20 weeks pregnant. At 13 weeks, my NT measurement was 3.2mm. Both my amniocentesis and NIPT reports came back showing low risk. I've attached my anomaly scan report from my 20th week, and I'm just wondering if everything looks normal?

Drinking water before eating bananas or any fruit is generally safe. However, it's recommended to have a gap of at least 30 minutes to 1 hour between drinking water and eating fruits. This allows for: Proper digestion of the fruit Prevention of dilution of digestive enzymes Reduced risk of bloating or discomfort But, if you're thirsty, drink water and wait for a short period before eating the fruit.

my HSG test results say my uterus is normal in shape with no signs of bicornuate septate or arcuate uterus but both fallopian tubes weren't clearly seen though there was free peritoneal contrast and no hydrosalpinx. does this mean i need surgery or can i just take meds to fix this? my radiologist said it's not a big issue but i'm still worried

Your HSG results, while showing a normal uterus and free peritoneal contrast, indicate that the fallopian tubes may not be fully patent (open). This could mean they are slightly blocked, though your radiologist seems to believe it's not a significant issue. Further evaluation with a Diagnostic Laparoscopy and Tubal Patency test or a consultation with a fertility specialist is recommended to determine the best course of action
