I am currently pregnant and using a device which helps to strengthen the muscles in my pelvic floor. As this device gets inserted vaginally does it mean I have to perform Ghusl after using it even though it is not for sexual purposes?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No need for Ghusl in this case and even it does not harm your fasting. Inserting medical device inside the body does not mean Janabah, so, it does not invalidate your purity and does not need neither Ghusl not Wudhu.

What is the Islamic etiquette for conception and pregnancy? Is there a book I can refer to for details?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb
If a pregnant woman faces frequent discharges on an almost daily basis, how is she to approach prayer in that state? Is she supposed to bathe every single day?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This discharge during pregnancy is not menstruation. It can be what is
called Istihadha. During Istihadha, females must perform Salaah but
she has to perform Wudhu for every Salaah if the quantity of the blood
is small. But if the quantity of the blood fills the whole pad, then
she has to add one Ghusl in the morning before morning prayers and one
Wudhu for every Salaah. If the quantity of the blood is too much that
it not only fills the pad but it leaks out then three Ghusls will be
obligatory - one before morning Salaah, another before Zohr and Asr
and third before Maghrib and Ishaa Salaah.
