How should I sleep in pregnancy?
During pregnancy, it is best to sleep on your left side as it improves blood circulation to the baby and reduces pressure on major blood vessels. Avoid sleeping on your back, especially in the later stages, to prevent discomfort and dizziness.
When do you need a preconception consultation?
A preconception consultation is recommended at least three months before planning a pregnancy. It helps assess your overall health, identify risk factors, provide necessary vaccinations, and offer guidance on diet, lifestyle, and prenatal vitamins like folic acid.
What are the early symptoms of pregnancy?
Early pregnancy symptoms may include missed periods, nausea (morning sickness), fatigue, tender breasts, frequent urination, mood swings, and food cravings or aversions.
What prenatal tests should I take during pregnancy?
Essential prenatal tests include blood tests, urine tests, ultrasounds, glucose screening for gestational diabetes, and genetic screening if recommended by your doctor. These help monitor your health and your baby’s development.
How often should I visit the doctor during pregnancy?
- First 28 weeks: Once a month
- 28–36 weeks: Every two weeks
- 36 weeks until delivery: Weekly check-ups
- High-risk pregnancies may require more frequent visits.
What foods should I avoid during pregnancy?
Avoid high-mercury fish, undercooked meats, unpasteurized dairy products, raw eggs, processed foods, excessive caffeine, and alcohol. These can pose risks to both the mother and baby.
What are the signs of labor, and when should I go to the hospital?
Signs of labor include regular contractions, water breaking, lower back pain, and cervical dilation. If contractions occur every 5 minutes for an hour, or if you notice abnormal fluid leakage, visit the hospital immediately.
What pain relief options are available during delivery?
KK Virat Hospital offers various pain relief options, including epidural anesthesia, breathing techniques, and medication-assisted pain management to ensure a comfortable labor experience.
