I recently had thyroid (TSH) and hemoglobin tests, both of which were on the lower end of the normal range (1.49 TSH and 12.6 Hemoglobin). I have symptoms of muscle weakness, fatigue, easy bruising, and heavy menstrual bleeding. I have a history of uterine polyps and ovarian cysts, and I have gained weight since 2015. My diet and exercise routine have not significantly changed, and I take prenatal vitamins with iron. What advice can you give me?

What is the cause of having only two tubes/vessels in the umbilical cord instead of three, and what can be done to ensure the health of the fetus in this case?

I recently found out that I am pregnant. I am almost 12 weeks pregnant and I don’t have a doctor yet. I am not sure if an OB/GYN is the kind of doctor I need for this. What kind of testing would I be looking at at this stage? Am I too late for a first doctor's appointment? I had an ultrasound at a Women’s center when I took the pregnancy test to confirm, but I haven’t had any other tests done. I am not on any medications, besides vitamins since I found out. I am taking a multivitamin and a folate supplement. I exercise 3 to 6 times per week, mainly just walks at this point. Before I found out I was pregnant, I had a few drinks and coffee, and I am worried about what that might mean for the baby.

Do you have any follow-up questions or would you like a second opinion on anything?

I had sex from December 1 to December 5 while I was ovulating, but I got my period. Then I did not have sex in January, and my period is 8 days late. I took a pregnancy test, which was negative. My lower back hurts off and on, and I have some cramps only when I go to bed. Some mornings I feel sick, but not every morning. Could I be pregnant?

I had slow-growing non-invasive breast cancer in 1989. If the cancer were recurring, would I feel pain like arthritis?
