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'm wondering if the blood group of partners plays a role in pregnancy. My fianc and I both have AB positive blood type, and we're a bit concerned about whether this might cause any issues during pregnancy or affect our baby later on. Could you help us understand if we should be worried about this?

Same blood groups do not result in pregnancy complications.

I've been diagnosed with an endometriotic cyst that's over 3 cm, and I've been on Ovral L for a few months. Now, the cyst's size has decreased to 2.5 x 1.5 cm. My doctor is suggesting I should consider early marriage and pregnancy. Is that really the only option I have? If I delay this, could I face infertility issues down the road, or are there any other complications I should be aware of?
