Question 1

Hey, I'm 34 weeks and 2 days along, and my ultrasound shows a cephalic presentation with the placenta anterior. This is my fourth pregnancy. My first baby was a C-section at 33 weeks, second was a full-term SVD, and my third was a C-section at 36 weeks. It's been eight years since my last pregnancy. I'm currently on insulin with a dosage of 5050, 20 units in the morning and 10 at night. Do you think it's possible for me to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery this time around? I'm really curious about what would be safest for me and the baby.

Accepted Answer

Given the symptoms of cold, cough, and vomiting for 3 days, along with the medication already taken (antibiotic and cough syrup), here are some suggestions:

1. *Consult the pediatrician again*: Schedule a follow-up appointment with the pediatrician to reassess the child's condition and adjust the treatment plan if needed.
2. *Monitor vomiting*: If vomiting persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention. Ensure the child stays hydrated with small, frequent sips of an oral rehydration solution (e.g., Pedialyte).
3. *Cough syrup usage*: Continue administering the cough syrup as directed by the pediatrician. However, be aware of the potential side effects, such as drowsiness or stomach upset.
4. *Antibiotic course*: Complete the full antibiotic course as prescribed by the pediatrician, even if symptoms seem to improve before finishing the medication.
5. *Supportive care*: Provide comfort measures, such as:
    - Offering a warm, comforting drink, like tea or broth.
    - Using a humidifier to relieve congestion.
    - Encouraging rest and relaxation.
6. *Watch for warning signs*: Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following:
    - Difficulty breathing
    - Severe vomiting or diarrhea
    - Fever above 104F (40C)
    - Severe headache or stiff neck
    - Refusal to drink fluids

Question 2

Ultrasound showed multiple fibroids in my uterus and they're suggesting surgery but I'm not sure if it's urgent or if I can wait a year or so. Can you review my reports to confirm the timeline? Where should I send them for your opinion?

Accepted Answer

Myomectomy and gynaec opinion is advised.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?

Accepted Answer

most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis

-It's possible to be pregnant even with a negative test, as sometimes the test may not detect the pregnancy early enough. However, since you're feeling nausea and weakness, it's worth consulting with your doctor for further tests or to reassess your situa
