I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant and they said the placenta is low 0.8 cm. Is this normal, and is it going to change? What are the implications if it doesn't move, and what does 'strict follow-up' mean in this context?

I am 19 and sexually active. I experience a smelly odor from my vagina periodically, and it’s occasionally itchy. Sometimes, my vagina secretes small white flakes, and I am unsure of what is causing the odor. I have a yeast infection kit but am hesitant to use it because I’m not sure that’s what it is. Additionally, I have never had this problem until I started seeing a new person and sleeping with them. What could be causing these symptoms?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and experienced heavy bleeding during intercourse last night. There was no pain or cramping, and the bleeding stopped after sex. Should I go to the ER for this, or is it something I can wait to discuss with my OB/GYN on January 20th?

I had a D&C for a missed miscarriage a month ago and was wondering if the pregnancy hormone remains in the system even a few weeks after the surgery? I’ve taken 2 at-home pregnancy tests 2 days apart and both came back positive. How long should I wait before trying to conceive again?

I am having on and off spotting after delivering my baby in July. The amount is stable and feels constant, with just a couple of days of no spotting before it happens again. I had a hemorrhage one week after delivery that was controlled with an injection, and since then, the spotting/bleeding has not stopped. I have had ultrasounds that show normal findings. Is this common, and what could be the reason for the spotting?

I have a low-lying placenta at 14 weeks and have experienced bleeding. The bleeding has been stable, and I am 33 years old with no medications. I have had two miscarriages in the past. What should I do to manage this condition and prevent any complications?
