Question 1

I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I'm planning to travel to Assam during my 27th or 28th week. While most of my trip from Chennai will be by air, I'll spend the last two hours on some really bad and bumpy roads. Is it safe for someone in my condition to make this trip on such roads? What precautions should I take, and what emergency signs should I be on the lookout for, given that there isn't a good medical facility nearby?

Accepted Answer

Traveling during your 2728th week of pregnancy with bumpy roads may pose risks, such as discomfort, back pain, and potentially, preterm labor or placental abruption; to minimize risks, consider consulting your obstetrician before traveling, wear a seatbelt, take regular breaks, stay hydrated, and avoid fatigue; monitor yourself for emergency signs, including severe abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, contractions, or decreased fetal movement, and research local medical facilities along your route in case of an emergency, despite their limitations.

Question 2

I'm a bit worried because I had a D&C procedure just for a scan to check for any remains after two weeks. Then I had to repeat it with the suction method. Is it normal that I haven't gotten my period yet and it's been almost three weeks? Am I safe?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, it seems like you underwent a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure followed by a repeat procedure using suction. It is normal for your menstrual cycle to be irregular or delayed after such procedures. However, if you are concerned about the delay in receiving your menses, you should consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. They may prescribe medications such as Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) to help induce your period.

Question 3

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I've learned that my blood group is O negative while my husband's is O positive. The doctor mentioned that I need to get an injection in the 8th month. I'm feeling really anxious about what this means for me and the baby. Is there something I should be worried about here? Could you please explain?
