I'm two weeks postpartum after my C-section, and I've noticed that wearing the tummy belt causes vaginal bleeding. Should I keep using it, or is this something I should be worried about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Discontinue wearing the tummy belt immediately, as it may be causing increased pressure on your cervix or uterus, leading to vaginal bleeding; instead, focus on gentle postpartum exercises, like pelvic tilts and deep breathin

View allI'm 14 weeks pregnant and just got my Dual Marker test and Ultrasound done. I'm looking at the results, and I'm a bit confused. The Age Risk for Trisomy 21 says 1546, and it shows Screen negative at 124906. There's also Trisomy 18 with Screen negative at 1100000. The Free BHCG is 14.1 IUL at 0.78 MOM, and the PAPP-A is 3.64 IUL at 0.99 MOM. The Ultrasound shows the yolk sac, CRL is at 78.8 mm, which matches 13 weeks and 6 days, NT measurement is 1.7mm, and the nasal bone is seen at 0.89 MOM. I'm really concerned about what all these numbers mean. Could my baby possibly have Down Syndrome based on these results, and what should my next steps be?
there is no cause for concern regarding the risk of Down syndrome or other chromosomal conditions in your baby. The next step would likely be a routine follow-up ultrasound and continued monitoring throughout your pregnancy. If you have further concerns or if your doctor feels it necessary, they might recommend more specific tests such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) or amniocentesis for more detailed risk assessment, but based on these results, that is generally not required.

I'm curious if having my uterus removed could lead to heart disease or heart failure down the road. My ovaries are still there and functioning normally. Do I need to worry about any heart-related issues because of this?
Heart disease and heart failure can still occur even after the removal of the uterus as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. The risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity can still contribute to heart issues. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. In case of any symptoms or concerns, medications like Aspirin and Statins can be prescribed to manage heart conditions.
