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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm 6 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy with no miscarriages or other issues so far. My doctor prescribed me Duphaston from the first day until now. Is it really necessary to take it, and what exactly is it for?
Duphaston is a brand name for dydrogesterone, which is a synthetic hormone similar to progesterone. It is commonly prescribed during early pregnancy to support the uterine lining and reduce the risk of miscarriage. It is often recommended for women with a history of recurrent miscarriages or certain hormonal imbalances. In your case, since you have no history of miscarriage or other problems, the use of Duphaston may be a precautionary measure to support a healthy pregnancy.

My mom has stage 3c ovarian cancer and has done 3 chemo cycles but it doesn't seem to be working well. She's down to just 27kg and one doctor suggested debulking surgery. I'm really concerned how risky would surgery be at her current weight and what are her chances of pulling through
Debulking surgery at 27kg in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer presents significant risks, but also potentially offers a chance at better outcomes. While the surgery itself is risky due to the patient's weakened state, it could reduce the tumor burden and potentially improve response to subsequent chemotherapy. The decision should be made after careful consideration of all factors, including the patient's overall health, the extent of the cancer, and the potential benefits of surgery.

I've attached my TVS report and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery do you think this can be managed with medication instead? I'm a bit worried about the findings and would love to know if there are other treatment options
Yes ... it can be cleared with medicine
