I am 37 weeks and five days pregnant with my third baby. I was at the hospital for false labor and was dilated 4cm, scheduled for induction on Monday. However, I am losing a lot of mucus with blood every time I use the bathroom. Should I go back to the hospital or is this normal?

I have large clots during my period, heavy bleeding, and mild cramps. My period started on 12/20, and I change my pad every 3 hours. I take Adderall for ADHD and have had irregular periods, sometimes delayed by up to 15 days. What could be causing this and what should I do?

I've been heavily bleeding all day with significant clotting. This is heavier than ever before and just started today. I'm 26 years old, had a miscarriage, and received the Depo-Provera shot three weeks ago. I took Aleve for cramping before the bleeding started. I'm also anemic. Is this an emergency or related to the Depo-Provera shot?

I am in my first trimester and need to rid my body of THC from smoking weed before I found out I was pregnant. I haven't had an ultrasound or any tests yet, and I'm taking prenatal vitamins. I also experienced a traumatic event and started lightly bleeding. I don't have health insurance and am living out of our car. How can I safely detox THC from my system, and is the bleeding and stress harmful to the baby?

My daughter (15) started her period on Friday. The flow was normal, but tonight it was bright orange and the drips were floating in the toilet. This has never happened before. She is not having any other abnormal signs. Any thoughts?

I haven’t had my period in 3 months. I’m not pregnant and I’m not sexually active. The women in my family have a history of irregular periods. What could be the issue and what steps should I take?
