Why is My Stomach Suddenly Hard at 20 Weeks Pregnant with Twins?
I'm 20 weeks pregnant with twins. My stomach become more hard suddenly
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Please see your Obstetrician as soon as possible. The toughening of the stomach during pregnancy can be a symptom of Braxton Hicks contractions, but they do no harm and are normal. However, it can be a signal of early labor and preterm birth along with severe pain, pain, bleeding, and discharge.

My wife is 44 years old and she gets her this month period very early but its not getting over now. its almost 10 days now and she is still getting her period coming. It has decreases compared to the first five days.
Female | 44
This can be a result of shifts in hormonal levels. The main symptom is bleeding for a period longer than 7 days which is the case of menorrhagia. Causes can be stress, changes in weight, or other health issues. Emphasize to her the importance of getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water, and eating healthy foods. If this keeps happening, visit a gynecologist for advice.

Medications during this time require medical advice. High blood pressure needs treatment for mom and baby's well-being. Doctors sometimes adjust dosages or change prescriptions. Follow their guidance closely and keep them informed.

i'm feeling bloated in my lower abdomen and it hurts sometimes but I don't have period, i missed my period 10 days and I'm experiencing spotting. my last period begin on last april 15. My partner and I did something on 1 week of April and I still got my period on April 15. Now, my partner and i didn't have sex but I still got no period this time. please help me on this, thank you for answering.
Female | 19
Missed periods, bloating, lower stomach pain, and spotting are all signs of hormone imbalance which can be caused by stress among other things like pregnancy etc. The exercise activity from April’s first week might have affected your cycle. Monitor these symptoms plus your menstrual cycle for the next couple of weeks. If they worsen, see a gynecologist who will give you further instructions on what steps to be taken.

My periods are 3 days late
Female | 21
Sometimes, stress or changed routines affect your cycle. Your hormones and PCOS could also be reasons. If sexually active, pregnancy is possible. Stay calm, eat right, and if it persists, seek advice from a gynecologist. Late periods happen, but prolonged delays need attention.

The first day of my last period was April 1st and my expected ovulation date was April 17th. I had sex on the 13th/14th and took plan B in the morning of the 14th; I had sex again on the 19th/20th and took plan B on the morning of the 20th and I had sex on the 28th and took the plan B immediately. I am not on any contraceptive medication and my partner pulled out before ejaculating - so he said. I washed up immediately and took the pills. My period is late now and I don’t want to be pregnant. I have taken about 6 pregnancy test and they were all negative, not even a faint line of positive which is relieve. But my period is a day late and I’m worried. I took a test this morning and it was still negative. I feel tired, bloated, and I urinate frequently. What do I do?
Female | 26
Stress can make your period late. Plan B can also make your cycle different, and make your period late. Feeling tired, bloated, and peeing a lot could be from hormone changes or UTIs. Stay calm, wait a little longer, and keep watching for signs. If you are still worried, talk to a gynecologist.

I'm 18 years of old, female. I had an intercourse with my partner 4 days back without any protection but he has not ejacuated inside me. But I'm worried maybe I could be pregnant. What shall I do
Female | 17
Pregnancy symptoms normally do not appear until a few weeks after unprotected sex. Nevertheless, if you are experiencing some stress, you might want to take a pregnancy test around 3 weeks after the sex.

I had a question a girl had a brother with down syndrome, do girl if get married is there any chances she also have kid have down syndrome, r is it better to do a test before marriage to remain on safe side. Secondly in case if before marriage test show there are chances of Down syndrome kid could taking medicine before pregnancy or during pregnancy can decrease the chances of having Down syndrome baby?
Female | 30
When a girl's brother has Down syndrome, it’s natural to wonder if she might have a child with Down syndrome as well. While there is an increased risk, it’s not guaranteed. The best step is to undergo premarital genetic testing to understand any potential risks. If the tests indicate a higher risk, consult a doctor to guide you through the next steps. Remember, taking medication before or during pregnancy won’t eliminate the risk of having a baby with Down syndrome. For personalized guidance, speak with a gynecologist.

I have missed periods for 7 months now and it’s not the first time since the first time I had my period at 12 and I have an important weight gain I’m 82 kg at 16.
Female | 16
It's concerning that you have missed your periods for 7 months now, especially since you started your periods at 12. The important weight gain you mentioned can contribute to irregular periods. This could be due to hormonal imbalances or other health issues. It's important to see a gynecologist to find the exact cause and get the right treatment.

I am a 22 y/o female who has been dealing with a persistent yeast infection. Nothing and no amount of medicine has made it go away. I got tested for ureaplasma and took the antibiotics for it but still have the yeast infection. How do i make it go away ?
Female | 22
Yeast infections can be quite bothersome, but there are ways to manage them effectively. They often cause itchiness, a brownish-white discharge that looks like cottage cheese, and inflammation in the area. Sometimes, even after treating other infections like ureaplasma, the yeast infection might persist. If this happens, you may need a different antifungal medication prescribed by your doctor to clear it up.

Can I take Norethisterone tablet to postpone my periods
Female | 23
Norethisterone tablets postpone periods, maintaining uterine lining over extended duration. Short-term usage is safe. However, potential side effects mirror menstrual symptoms: abdominal discomfort, headaches, nausea. Strictly adhere to the physician's prescribed dosage instructions to circumvent complications.

With no issues like aches, bleeding, or peeing trouble now, you can probably have sex again sometime. Still, it's wise asking a gynecologist if you have concerns or need answers.

Did ultrasound scan at 17th week but no foetus was seen... So now any chance for pregnancy
Female | 23
During your 17-week ultrasound, no fetus was visible. This situation raises concerns, but don't panic immediately. An inaccurate pregnancy dating or potential miscarriage might explain the lack of a visible fetus. Discussing these findings with your gynecologist is crucial. They can advise the next steps and ensure you receive appropriate care.

My scan report show right ovary normal Bladder normal Left ovary seen dominant folicule 15mm Et 5 In 5th day of period It's normal or not . please tell me We are trying for second baby
Female | 30
It's great to hear that your right ovary and bladder are normal. A 15 mm follicle in your left ovary on the 5th day of your period is also a normal sign, indicating that your body is preparing for ovulation. The ET value of 5 is within the normal range for this stage of your cycle. All of these findings suggest that you are likely ovulating, which is important for conception. Be sure to track your ovulation and consult your gynecologist with any concerns.

Hi doctor , How are you Myself Palak Shah 24 years old girl having continuous bleeding and from past 3 dats it's heavy bleeding . I haven't taken any medicines. Please tell what should I do now?
Female | 24
The reasons for this could be hormones that are out of balance, uterine fibroids, or also infections. Resting and keeping yourself hydrated is a big priority right now. A warm breast compress to the lower abdomen can be a good strategy to ease the pain. Be sure to track your bleeding flow, and if it's a lot, go to a gynecologist.

Am 40 weeks pg,on saturday I saw discharge with a drop of blood then later had strong braxton hicks until around 1am which disappeared until yesterday 4pm, I've seen brownish little discharge from time to time since then with little cramping, am I okay
Female | 27
Maybe you’re having some symptoms that suggest your body might be getting prepared for delivery. The blood drop could occur because your cervix is beginning to open. A brownish discharge along with cramps are normal as well since this means that your body is readying itself for birth. Make sure you rest, drink plenty of water, and watch the cramps. If you start feeling worried or cramping gets worse don’t hesitate to contact a gynecologist.

Hi. My partner is male and I am female. He recently disclosed that he was diagnosed with herpes many years ago but has never had an outbreak since. So I have allowed us to have unprotected sex. Am I able to contract it even though he’s been dormant for years ?
Female | 28
Infections can be transmitted through sexual contact, even without visible outbreaks. Even if your partner may not have had symptoms for years, the virus can still shed and pose a transmission risk. Please consult a good medical facility and a gynecologist for proper evaluation.
