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?

Which tablet is used to get periods immediately?

Progesterones can be taken in few doses to induce periods but keep in mind that it is hormone pill with few side effects. So, it is better to not self medicate and consult with a doctor for prescription.

I'm a bit worried and confused. My girlfriend told me she's a virgin, but when we had sex, there was no blood. I know that's normal sometimes, but it also felt like her vagina was loose. Even when I tried using two fingers, it still seemed loose. Is it possible for a virgin girl to have a loose vagina?

Yes, a virgin girl can still have a loose vagina due to various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, physical activities, or medical conditions, as virginity is not solely determined by vaginal tightness or looseness.

I'm a bit concerned because it's the 43rd day and I still haven't gotten my period. On the 40th day, I noticed some discomfort in my lower abdomen, and now there's this thick white milky discharge. Could these be signs of early pregnancy, or is it something else? I'm not sure what to make of this.

White dischrge in pregnancy is common Just make sure it s not associated with itching and foul smelling bcz tht goes in favour of infection Keep the private parts clean Avoid moisture If dischrge is more use panty liners
