PCOS in pregnancy

I'm currently expecting my first child, and I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). While I'm thrilled about the pregnancy, I can't help but feel anxious about how my condition might affect the baby's health. I've done some research, and it seems like there can be potential risks associated with PCOS during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, preterm birth, preeclampsia, and even autism???? I'm also concerned about the possibility of passing on any genetic factors related to PCOS to my baby. anyone has similar experience?

Round ligament pain lasting a day and more?

Is it normal for round ligament pain to last for a day and more? I'm feeling a dull achey feeling at my lower abdomen, that sometimes shoots towards my groin area - goggling says most likely rl but now I'm not sure because it doesn't go away after a few minutes / hours :/ I'm week 22+5days for context

Hey mama! I totally understand your concern about the round ligament pain lasting for a day or more. It can be worrying when something like that happens during pregnancy. Round ligament pain is quite common, especially during the second trimester when your uterus is expanding rapidly. The dull achey feeling you're experiencing, which sometimes shoots towards your groin area, does sound like typical round ligament pain. However, it's also important to listen to your body and trust your instincts. If the pain is persistent and doesn't go away after a few minutes or hours, it might be a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider just to rule out any other potential issues. They can give you personalized advice and reassurance. In the meantime, try to find some relief by changing positions, taking warm baths, using a pregnancy support belt, or practicing gentle stretches. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest as well. Hang in there, mama! You're doing great at 22 weeks and 5 days. Take care of yourself and your little one. Sending you lots of positive vibes! 💕 https://invl.io/cll6she

abnormal vaginal discharge in 3rd tri

I’m currently entering my third trimester and have noticed a significant increase in vaginal discharge. It's more than what I experienced in the earlier stages of my pregnancy. I was wondering if this is normal? The discharge is clear to milky white and doesn’t have a strong odor, but it’s definitely more frequent and sometimes makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything specific I should be looking out for to make sure it's not a sign of something more serious?

I’m currently in trimester 3 and experiencing this too. My gynae said it’s normal because it’s preventing bacteria from entering our uterus. Indeed uncomfortable.. Just wear panty liner and change frequently!

Hello, mummies! I probably caught the virus from my other kids, so now I’m having a sore throat and dry cough. Any idea if strepsils is safe to take? Not sure what other medication I can take for cough and sore throat.

cramps in trimester 1

Mom, I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant... I don't know why, but recently I've been feeling cramps in my stomach. It feels like I'm about to get my period... but there's no bleeding. On top of that, the nausea is really severe... Is this normal during pregnancy? I'm really worried and want to check with the doctor, but I'm extremely busy with a work project. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

hot bath in pregnancy trimester 2

Hi, Moms. Now I'm in the second trimester and, for some reason, I often feel very achy. Yesterday, I came home from work and soaked in the bathtub with warm water. It felt so good to relax and it really helped me sleep soundly afterward. But I just found out that hot baths are not allowed during pregnancy? I'm really panicking. Has anyone else done or experienced the same thing?

Polyhydramnios experience

I was diagnosed with Polyhydramnios by my doctor at 31 weeks pregnant. I'm confused, Mom, what is Polyhydramnios? The doctor explained that it's a condition where my amniotic fluid is too much, making my belly look very large, even though I was only 31 weeks pregnant. Then I asked, "What are the risks, Doctor? Can the amniotic fluid be reduced?" The doctor said it couldn't. I was at risk of preterm birth because my uterus could no longer 'stretch' to accommodate both the amniotic fluid and my baby. It turned out that 5 days later, I started experiencing leaking amniotic fluid, followed by blood spots. I thought I was urinating because I felt like I needed to pee before. But I couldn't hold it. There was a lot of amniotic fluid at that time. Long story short, I ended up giving birth at 10:40 PM with normal delivery and without amniotic fluid (so I had to keep pushing). My baby weighed only 1,600 grams and was 44 cm long. He couldn't cry, only whimper. He was so tiny... After that, my baby was immediately taken to the incubator and given oxygen and a feeding tube for breast milk. I was in good health, but my baby fought for his life with various equipment for a week. Until he finally passed away with a smile on his face. I was very sad at first, because this was our first child. But God loved him more...
