My wife is due to deliver in Kerala, and she's planning to travel on January 8th, 2017. She'll be nine months pregnant by then. We're wondering if it's safe for her to travel by car or train since the journey will take more than 10 hours. What do you think?

I've been experiencing something after my abortion and I'm kind of worried. I had bleeding from June 2nd to June 12th and it gradually decreased. Now, I'm having a white discharge. It doesn't smell at all, there's no pain or itching, and it doesn't look like curd. I feel perfectly fine. But I'm curious, is it normal to have white discharge after an abortion? And sometimes, I notice a mucus-like thing coming out, similar to when you have a cold and mucus comes out of your nose. Is this something I should be concerned about?
