Pregnancy

  • Pregnancy

  • These 9 months in a lady’s life are of huge significance. Carrying a child or conceiving is very special. Having said that there is an enormous change in the female’s body plus one goes through a lot of psychological changes as well. Here the family plays a major role in keeping the bond alive and also gives strength to the lady who’s pregnant. Plus, the gynecologist also plays a pivotal role in this special journey and keeps you well informed and updated with the whole progress.

  • During this phase, one may feel weak, or have mood swings, and reduced appetite (like PMS). As your body changes during pregnancy, you might need to adjust your daily routine, like going to bed earlier or eating smaller, more frequent meals. Many of these discomforts usually improve as the pregnancy progresses, and some women may not experience any discomfort at all.
  • Getting an early sonography is crucial to check for ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy in the tube) after which another sonogram is done to confirm the heartbeat.
  • At 11-13 weeks, an important sonography called the “NT scan” or level I scan is conducted to assess any genetic risks. Blood tests for genetic screenings are also typically performed alongside this scan.
  • Life becomes relatively better at this stage as the discomfort reduces to some extent. It is important to stay active and do prenatal exercises.
