My wife is already 17 weeks pregnant. Can I still make love with her at this stage and if yes, at what stage of the pregnancy is it advisable to stop making love with her? You can make love to your wife who is 17 weeks pregnant. You can also have a usual sexual relationship with her until the last 4 weeks of pregnancy (36 weeks). After this period, sexual intercourse should be less frequent but still permissible. Answered by: Dr Chew Weng Yew, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Pantai Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur and Member of ProHighway Healthcare Panel of Medical Specialists I am having some problems with my family. They have suggested that I get married in 2008 because I am currently having some financial difficulties, but my girlfriend insists that we get married in 2007. She says that she is willing to work together with me to achieve my goal. The problem is that I am afraid that I may let her down and disappoint her. I also have no idea how to relay the message to my parents. Please advise. I would suggest that you have a frank talk with your girlfriend. Waiting for more than 1 year is not a long time. I would advise you to only consider getting married once your financial situation is better. Answered by: Dr Chew Weng Yew, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Pantai Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur and Member of ProHighway Healthcare Panel of Medical Specialists I am a PCO patient. My doctor confirmed the pregnancy, but the test line was not so prominent. She told me to go again this weekend for another urine test and u/s. I have also been told to take duphaston (10mg-dydrogesterone) for 1 week together with my folic and metformin (pco). Will my baby be alright? Is there anything I need to worry about since the percentage of miscarriage is high with PCO? There is a higher risk of miscarriage with patients with PCO. It is probably too early to say whether your pregnancy will continue. I would advise you to follow the advice of your doctor. Answered by: Dr Chew Weng Yew, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Pantai Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur and Member of ProHighway Healthcare Panel of Medical Specialists I am 19 years old. I am a student and I want to get married as well. What is your opinion about my decision to get married early in life? Can you help me on how to make myself emotionally, physically and financially well-prepared before I get married? In my opinion, you should wait until you have graduated before getting married. You are quite right to say that, financially and emotionally, you should be more stable before you contemplate marriage.
