My 17-year-old daughter has been experiencing lower abdominal pain in the middle, near her ovaries, which she describes as muscle pain but feels like a lump to me. She also experiences regular bloating and takes about 3 days to digest food. She has been feeling sleepy and fatigued lately. I took her to the doctor, who suggested it might be her gallbladder, but the pain description doesn't match my experience with gallbladder issues. What could be causing her pain and fatigue?

During pregnancy, my blood pressure has been high, especially the bottom number. I measure it morning and night, and the first reading is always higher than the second. Which reading should I record, and when should I start taking medication if the bottom number remains high? Additionally, is it normal to feel pressure when standing up from bed, and are there any dietary or lifestyle recommendations to manage blood pressure during pregnancy?

I found out two days ago that a friend, who is a midwife, heard a heartbeat very briefly. I am concerned about not feeling any movement and wonder if the stress of losing my mum to cancer a couple of weeks ago is stopping me from feeling any movements. How many weeks pregnant am I and when can I expect to feel movement?
