replied 3 years ago You need to see a doctor about this. While this may be just Braxton Hicks contractions or false contractions, we usually will make sure the baby and pregnancy is well before saying this. A urine infection can also cause this.

replied 3 years ago Even if your vomiting is causing you to lose weight, the baby can survive by taking what it needs from your reserves (for example your bones, your fat). Seeing your doctor will make you feel better, especially if they can do an ultrasound so you can see your baby growing.
Your vomiting may have many causes. If you have gastritis or heartburn in the past, it may become worse in pregnancy. There are medications that you can safely take in pregnancy to reduce vomiting. I suggest you see your doctor to see if they can suggest some for you.

replied 3 years ago Whether or not IVF will be successful for you would depend on the cause of your infertility. As a fertility specialist, I would check to see the number of eggs you still have, your husband’s sperm quality before I can tell you the chances of IVF success. At 38, it is not too late but I would urge you not to delay further especially if you are considering IVF. This is because the quality of our eggs will reduce every year as we approach 40. Please see a fertility specialist as soon as possible.

replied 3 years ago It is very difficult to reassure you that the pain is normal. As a doctor, I would first have to check you to make sure that the cramps are not from something serious. I would advise you to see your doctor, make sure the baby is growing well. If the pregnancy is going well, some things to check is to make sure you don’t have a urine infection, a cyst or a fibroid.
If there is nothing wrong, some women experiences light cramps during pregnancy, similar to muscle aches or a pulling sensation. This is common and if the pains are less than your normal period pains and there is no bleeding, it is usually OK.
Don’t worry about not wanting to eat rice. Our appetites sometimes changes when we are pregnant. Eat whatever you can, rest assured, your baby will take any nutrients it can from you.

replied 3 years ago Irregular menstruation can be caused by many things. It is difficult for me to assess your situation without actually examining you. Your doctor is right when she said it may be due to hormonal imbalance, it may be because you are not having ovulation every month. I am sorry that I cannot help you further without actually examining you. Wish you all the best.

replied 3 years ago There are many causes of vaginal itch. You need to see a doctor to determine what it is caused by. It may be due to an allergy or a simple fungal infection. Sometimes, a warm saltwater soak will help to alleviate the itch. Please see your doctor soon.

replied 3 years ago The IUD can cause vaginal discharge but not all women with IUD have the discharge. If the discharge is causing itch or is foul smelling, please see your doctor, especially if the IUD has been fitted less than a month ago.

replied 3 years ago There is a much higher chance for a twin pregnancy with IVF but we cannot guarantee a twin pregnancy. Even if we were to transfer 2 embryos into your womb, it may either result in a single baby, twins and sometimes even triplets. Multiple pregnancies is at higher risk of complications in pregnancy. These pregnancies see more miscarriages and premature deliveries. Mum is also more likely to have diabetes, high blood pressure and bleeding in pregnancy.

replied 3 years ago There are many causes of vaginal discharge, may be part of the normal function of your body, it may represent that your immunity is down, it may even be because of an infection. The way we usually differentiate one from the other is to see if the discharge smells offensive, if it causes itching or bleeding, or if it is associated with pain or fever. Usually I will also tell my patients that if the discharge is interfering with your normal daily activities, then it is time to see your doctor. The cause can only be found by a thorough examination and possibly a vaginal swab to see if we can find any bacteria or fungal infections.

replied 3 years ago The mode of delivery after a first caesarean section is determined by a few factors; the reason why you needed the initial caesarean section, what happened during your caesarean section, including your recovery and the condition of your second pregnancy. The best person to tell you if you need a repeat caesarean because of your past experience is the doctor that delivered you. If he or she says you are able to try for a vaginal birth, then it will be possible for you to have vaginal birth after caesarean section.
