View allI'm in my 7th month of pregnancy now, it just started on May 23rd, 2021, but I havent felt any baby movements for the last couple of days. I can hear the heartbeat though. Everything was fine in the 6th month with lots of movement. Should I be worried about the reduction in movements? What might be causing this?
Hi! It's great that you're hearing the baby's heartbeat, but a decrease in movements can sometimes indicate a need for medical attention. Please visit your doctor immediately to ensure everything is okay. They might do an ultrasound or other checks for reassurance.

My mother has been dealing with recurring bleeding for the past 5 years, and it keeps happening every year. Each time, medications like Pause MF or Sevista stop the bleeding, but now the doctor prescribed Pause MF and Deviry 10mg. The doctor is suggesting open surgery to remove her uterus instead of laparoscopy. I've attached the reports what would you recommend in this situation? Is open surgery the only option or could laparoscopy still be considered?
It's understandable to be concerned about your mother's recurring bleeding and the potential for surgery. While an open hysterectomy (removing the uterus) is a definitive solution, laparoscopy (a minimally invasive procedure) should also be considered. If the underlying cause of the bleeding is not completely resolved, open surgery might be necessary, but it's crucial to explore other options first, especially if your mother isn't yet ready for menopause.
