I'm a bit anxious about my pregnancy because I had a miscarriage back in February. Now my doctor has suggested taking Susten SR 400 mg in the early stages of this pregnancy. I'm already taking Folvec, Ecosprin 75, and some vitamins. Is it really safe to take this high dosage of Susten SR right now?

Susten SR 400 mg is a high dose of progesterone, typically recommended for women with a history of miscarriage or preterm labor, and while it's generally considered safe, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring, especially when combined with other medications like Folvac, Ecosprin 75, and vitamins, to minimize potential risks and ensure a healthy pregnancy

Is a miscarriage painful?

Not all miscarriages are physically painful, but most of them have cramping. The cramps are really strong for some people and light for others.

My baby's weight is 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy. Is this normal? What can I do to help increase the babys weight?

A baby weighing 1.6 kg at 32 weeks of pregnancy is slightly below average but can still be normal, depending on overall growth patterns. To support healthy weight gain, focus on a balanced diet rich in protein (like lentils, eggs, or dairy), iron, calcium, and essential vitamins. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor the baby's growth and ensure proper care.
