A baby weighing 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy is slightly below average but can still be normal, depending on overall growth patterns. To support healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein (like lentils, eggs, or dairy), iron, calcium, and essential vitamins. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor the baby's growth and ensure proper care.

I had sex back in 2013 but now I'm getting married and want to regain my virginity should I go for hymen reconstruction surgery or is there another option I should consider

Hymen reconstruction surgery (hymenoplasty) can restore the physical appearance of the hymen, but it's important to understand that it doesn't restore virginity in the broader, cultural, or emotional sense. If you are considering this procedure, it's crucial to have open and honest discussions with your partner and family to understand their expectations and your own motivations.
