ANOTHER QUERY AND ANSWER:

LEG PAIN IN PREGNANCY
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
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
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.

ANSWERS:
Iron definceny chala common ...Even I had iron deficiency around 5-7 months loo anukunta ...So don't worry ..
Definitely if you take good food you come to normal ..But tablets kuda tessukovali . Some tips
1. Take your iron tablets with APPLE juice ..So iron baga absorb cheskuntadhi
2. Never take/or eat citric fruits (orange lemon etc ) immediately after taking iron tablets
3. Eat green leafy veggies mainly collards , bok choy , spinach , totakurra etc ....COLLARDS and bokchoy chala baga panichesthadhi for iron. Atleast 2 days ki oka sari leafy veggie tennu
4. Eat green veggies like broccoli, beans etc
5. Pomegranate juice ....taste bagoddu ..But one glass a day is good too

Nausea

ANSWER FOR QUERY ON NAUSEA:
..
About feeling full and vomitting sensation..Be rest assured tht itz a positive sign! Eat what u feel like but make sure u drink fluids. U’ll feel like throwing up if u drink water…so ask ur doc if u can drink flavored water. Itz just a passing phase and before u know u wud be eating everything under the sun
A Few Cautions..
1st trimester:usually chala mandiki morning sickness valla vomotings ekkuva avutuntay.take biscuits n toasts koncham dry ga untay kabatti better avtundi,mari baga undi neerasam aite matram meet your doc they will give u IV,n take vitamin supplements,especiallly during first trimester folic acid it will prevent spinal cord problems in baby.
next at any time during preggie if you have vaginal bleeding meet your doc immediately
check your weight regularly if u gain more than 5lbs per month meet your doc
at any time during preggie if you have swollen legs after getting up from bed i mean after 12hrs of rest take your doc appointment.
if u have vision problems n not able to pass urine for 24hrs meet doc
regarding diet other than increased amounts of caffeine,tea u can take anything u want,even papaya also nothing will happen
cut down your alcoholic n smoking habits totally,of course manaki undavanukondi,but still
don’t take very hot tub baths n sternous exercises during 1st trimester it my lead to miscarriage
IC s ur choice there s no prob u can have until 3rd trimester b4 1 r 2 months of your EDD,if u are comfortable.
Eclipse Info

Lunar Eclipse info:
Lunar Eclipse .. as per Hindu custom pregnant women must take care during this period.
these are the steps to take care of yourself.
- pregnant women are not suppose to come out
-rays should not fall on you
-don’t eat (have liquid kind of food if u want ..)
-be in a dark room ..mean close all your window blinds with curtains.
-don’t do any household work.

Have a head bath and then eat your breakfast tommorrow.
