Question 1

I've been pregnant for 6 weeks now, and for the last 34 days, every time I eat, I end up vomiting. I've been taking the pregnidoxin medicine once a day, but it just doesn't seem to be working anymore. The vomiting starts just half an hour after eating. Could it be that I'm eating too much, or is there something else going on?

Accepted Answer

vomiting in pregnancy is normal

Question 2

Which delivery is more painful?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. You'll probably hear the term ânatural childbirthâ .The risk for discomfort after the birth is greater due to normal and expected surgical pain along the incision and abdominal soreness. These discomforts can last for several months. There is an increased risk for rupture of the C-section scar during subsequent deliveries and subsequent pregnancies.

Question 3

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I just did my glucose tolerance test. My results came back showing that my fasting glucose is 79 mgdL, the 1-hour test is 219 mgdL, the 2-hour test is 192 mgdL, and the 3-hour test is 181 mgdL. My doctor suggested I start taking metformin tablets. I'm concerned about how this might affect my baby. Could you please help me understand if there's any potential impact on my baby from taking this medication?
