hello Sir a pregnant woman has not been able to poop for the past 4days now. I need ur help.

matrix199:


She's having constipation. She needs to increase her fibre intake. Let her take lots of fresh vegetables like steamed pumpkin leaves, eggplant, cucumber, fruits, and lots of water. The urge to defaecate will build, and eventually, when she poohs, she won't find it difficult to empty her bowel.

99billiondollar:
Doc, I only took clomid last month, so I got my period on the 36thdays, instead of 29thdays, which it's my normal cycle, will i get my normal 29day Cycle back

matrix199:


Having back your usual 29day cycle shouldn't be your concern. You should be particular about having a normal, consistent cycle.

folash:
pls where is Dr omicron and luckyg. hope all is well with them?

rainyday:
Where is doc omicron? we miss u oo! hope u r good

havenly:
Good day doc,please I need ur counsel. I got married early last year,and around October, I took antibiotics with my hubby and I actually conceived but I didn't know till the pregnancy was about 7 weeks,at my first ultrasound, I was told to redo after two weeks.to cut the long story short,I miscarried the baby at the first trimester,around early December. I was told no need for evacuation because the process was complete,but I used antibiotics.
I have not seen my period yet,and I really wish to conceive immediately, pls what drugs can I use to ensure ovulation and what could have caused the miscarriage and what can I do to prevent a recurrence. Thanks sir.

matrix199:


Has your DH been checked okay? If he is, then attention shld be focused on ur AF. The reason why conception has been unsuccessful is your menstrual irregularity. Your cycle is inconsistent. It's either you Anovulate, or you've had hypotrophied endometrium(due to low progesterone, resulting to unsuccessful implantation).

The right thing to do is visit a hospital and seek the services of a gynae.

Orente21:
hello doctor, I visited d hospital today, d doctor placed me on antibiotics for 7 days and told me I ll b on clomid and vitamin b or so on the 1 st day of my next AF. I was not check at all but I narrated medical history to her. Am I good to go?

matrix199:


Let's begin with......
1. How old are you?
2. What was the indication for the antibiotics you and your dh took?
3. Was the miscarried preg your first conception?
4. Who did you refer to as.. "I was told"?

matrix199:


In a menstrual cycle, 5-day period is usually the fertile period, in which fertilization can take place. The rest of the days is non-fertile period. If you're trying to conceive, it's imperative to concentrate on intercourse within the fertile zone. Everyday intercourse does not increase the chances of conception. Rather, everyday may render both partners lethargic, and may deplete the man's sperm reserve when it wld really matter.

So your wife was right. You guys shld consider and concentrate on having intercourse when she's in her fertile period. Her fertile period begins 3-days to her ovulation, and 1-day after(5-days in total). You can then minimize the frequency you have sex after her fertile days.

Best of hope!

Thanks for ur response, in answering your questions.
1.) I am 30 yrs old
2.) The infection (can't remember the name), was susceptible to oflaxacin,so i used the antibiotics for 2 wks.
3.)the miscarriage was my first conception
4.)The radiologist,where I did the first ultrasound told me scan wasn't showing anything for the pregnancy of more than 12 weeks.
Thanks sir

okhionkpai:

Thanks doctor. I have another question.
Will having sex during the two week wait prevent implantation.

mbula:
gopd day doc, pls I am a first time mum, had my baby through cs on 7th of oct, my menstral cycle has always been 24 days lasting for 3 days and regular.i had my period on 19th dec after delivery in oct, and it lasted for 2 days, just yesterday, another period started.making it only 15days interval....pls is all well.i am scared.thanx as I await ur responds....

matrix199:


Though, having a 15day menstrual interval isn't normal, all is well. The problem is that order has not been fully restored. The subsequent period presented too early because hormonal balance hasn't be restored.

Give it time, you'll observe your regular menstruation as it was before.

matrix199:


Sex doesn't prevent or hinder implantation.

Let me recommend 3 times a week coital session for you guys. Hope u're not a too much sex demander?

Chili89:
Hello Doc, I'm four weeks preg and having serious catarrh and sneezing, pls wat drug do you suggest I take?

Gud day docs. I am 5months gone.all I have is folic acid and astyfer. I wanted to buy pregnacare but my doc said recent studies shows d suppplement makes babies big therefore resulting in mothers going for CS to deliver 4pplus babies.

Pregnancy supplement is not the only factor that determines fetal weight. Other factors are also determinants. Pregnacare is a super pregnancy supplement that has high doses/measures of essential nutrients like calcium, B vitamins, C vitamin, E vitamin, and as well folate. The problem is not necessarily the supplement, but the plan. Rather than take it daily, your doc can use his discretion by placing you on a reduced dose(each tab cld be broken into halves).

I don't know the constituents of astyfer, so I can't tell if it provides other essential pregnancy supplements, along with the folic acid.

About the swimming, well, since the fetus gets his oxygen from the placenta, submerging in water shouldn't disrupt his breathing. But then, submerging too long in water may cause your temperature to drop, and that may subject you to hypothermia. Don't forget the weather is stil windy and cold. If you're hot, why not take a cool shower, or sit in ur bath tub?

I just hope another pregnant lady won't feel like riding a bicycle.
