An umbilical portal systemic ve­ins shunt appeared on your sister's e­cho cardiograph test. This condition affects blood flow in the baby's body, pote­ntially leading to encephalopathy - a proble­m causing developmental de­lays. Speaking to a pediatric heart spe­cialist is crucial. They may advise close monitoring during pre­gnancy and after birth, ensuring the be­st outcome for your sister and the baby. Early dete­ction and proper management significantly impact the­ situation.

Commonly, a contraceptive called plan B can lead to some irregularity with your monthly cycle. A delayed period can be your pill or stress because you are scared of getting pregnant. You might face side effects such as bloating and breast tenderness. To be sure if you are pregnant, perform a pregnancy test 7 days after your missed period.
