Most
Often Asked Questions on Pregnancy
I
seem to have some amount of vaginal discharge during pregnancy. Should
I be alarmed?
A
moderate mucous vaginal discharge will be there. But if it
is white, curd like and irritating, it could be
thrush. Yellow frothy discharge could mean
trichomoniasis. Both require treatment.
I
want to prevent or minimize stretch marks. Are any creams or
lotions contraindicated?
Creams
with vitamin E are available but do not make the stretch marks
disappear altogether. Creams with hydrocortisone are
contraindicated.
Should
I be exercising during my pregnancy? Should I start now if I
haven't been doing it before ? Are there any special exercises I
should do during pregnancy.
The
ideal time to start exercising, if you haven't already been doing
so is in the 18th to 20th week of pregnancy. This will help
develop abdominal, pelvic muscle tone and so on.
Can
I keep working through pregnancy ? Is it dangerous to work with a
computer/fax machine / photocopier?
You
can keep working through pregnancy if everything is normal. But if
you have bleeding, blood pressure, premature contractions or if
the baby is not growing well sampling, go by what
your doctor says.
No,
it is not dangerous to work with these machines. But stress, a
high level of involvement and pressure to complete the work on
hand are hazardous.
Can
I continue with my beauty regimen of facials and
bleaching during pregnancy?
Yes,
you can have a facial but avoid bleaching or any chemical
preparation.
