You can use Flagyl after 12 weeks, so you are OK.

The cervices of most pregnant women are soft, so while it is possible that you might have a miscarriage, it is not really to likely at this point.

Orange urine is generally a reflection of how concentrated it is, and what is in it, but without knowing what indicators were high, I really can't provide much insight.

Any attempt to guess gender based on heart rate, location, or activity has a 50/50 chance of being correct. So does flipping a coin.
