LEG PAIN IN PREGNANCY

QUERY:
im in 5 thmonth ..my legs are paining a lot at nights what should i do for relief?

SOL:


I used to have severe pains in my thighs during nights but after 7th month. My doc told me thats because of low blood circulation with the baby lying low. But during the day since the legs were in motion and always below waist level, the pain was low. I tried sleeping on the rocking chair. The thigh pain reduced.

You can try sleeping sitting,but i know it will be very uncomfortable.
looks like your are anemic . Try to take more milk and protein food. Did you check with your doctor regarding your blood test.

Nenu anukovadamu meeku kalu baga nopipedutunnayi ante weekness valla baga vastundi. leda weight valla. meeru inka 5 th lo unnaru kanuka. anemic ai undachu. usually iron tablets teesukomani cheputaru. Doctor ni consult cheyandi.

DELIVERY

QUERY:
My due date is tomorrow... and i haven't been dilated yet and the doctor said the baby's head is down.. and i am getting very scared now.. weather i will be going to normal or c- section. any idea..

SOL:


Don't worry. Even if it is not dilated it is ok. Sometimes once it starts dilation, after that they deliver the baby in couple of hours. Usually doctor waits 1 week - 10 days after your due date before they perform c-section. So I think you don't have to worry. One of my friend, she didn't get dilated even after 1 week after her due date. So doctor told that she will wait for couple of more days and perform c-section. But within those 2 days dilation started and she delivered the baby through normal delivery.

My friend delivered normally after 42 weeks when she was induced labor. She didn't dilate at all till 42 weeks. So even if you don't dilate, they will induce labor and u will dilate then.
So relax and chill. Tension lo undakudadu. Not good for you and the baby.

OMEGA3 FATTY ACIDS

QUERY:
nenu 6 months pregnant.Omega 3 fatty acids medicine yevaru ayyina vesikunthunara?Doctor nanu fish thinamathundi nenu asallu smell kuda chudalekha pothuna....chala frds veggies vunaru kadha meeru yemi chesinaru medicine vesikunara?yemi medicine kocham share cheyyandhi..

ANSWER
Regarding omega-3 fatty acids, my gyn prescribed me to take citracal with DHA, that contains omega-3 fatty acids. I had taken the same prenatal vitamins through out my pregnancy and after that too(while breastfeeding you r advised to continue the prenatal vitamins). Ask your gyn abt that.

or else you get eggs that contain DHA, that's a good source of omega-3 fatty acids too.
