Who is at risk for gestational diabetes?

Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

I'm a bit worried about my wife who's in her 7th week of pregnancy. She's been having a really tough time with vomiting and just can't seem to keep anything down. The doctor suggested she try Emeset 4mg, but after taking it, she's been feeling uncomfortable with some stomach pain and constipation. I looked it up online, and now I'm confused because there are mixed opinions about using it during pregnancy. Do you think it's safe for her to continue with this medication, or should we consider switching to something else?

Emeset (Ondansetron) can be used in pregnancy but should be done so under careful medical supervision. If she continues to experience discomfort, it's essential to contact her healthcare provider for possible medication adjustment or a safer alternative.

We have to go for an abortion today with a good gynecologist. I'm really looking for some solid advice on how to care for my wife after the procedure. How soon might she recover? What should we focus on regarding her diet? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance on this.

To support your wife's recovery after abortion, ensure she rests for 1-2 days, avoids heavy liftingstrenuous activities for 1-2 weeks, takes pain relievers as prescribed, and follows a balanced diet rich in iron, protein, and whole foods; also, encourage her to stay hydrated, avoid sexual intercourse for 1-2 weeks, and schedule a follow-up appointment with the gynecologist
