Fruits and vegetables are generally very good during pregnancy except for pineapple (some people say it induces labor, it does nothing to me). Just take varieties, not just stick to one. I dont know about ginger or lucozade boost but everything on your list is fine.

You cant stop the vomiting, she can go to the hospital if its severe but it will go away/reduce after first trimester (around 14wks)

PREECLAMPSIA

Preeclampsia is when a pregnant woman develops high blood pressure and protein the urine after the 20th week (late second trimester or third trimester) of pregnancy. The exact cause is unknown but risk factors include:
�Obesity
�history of high blood pressure
�kidney disease
�Primigravidity (first pregnancy)
�Multiple pregnancy(twins or more)
�Age (Risk is higher if older than 35)

Symptoms may include:
❌Swelling of the hands and face/eyes (edema)
❌Sudden weight gain over one or two days, more than 2 pounds a week
❌Headache that just doesn’t go away
❌Belly pain in the right side, below the ribs (may present differently)
❌Vision changes including seeing flashing lights or spots, sensitivity to light and blurry vision
❌Irritability
❌Decreased urine output
❌Nausea and vomiting

If your doctor suspects preeclampsia, he/she will carry out series of examinations and investigations including blood pressure and abnormal swelling (some swelling in the feet and ankles is normal during pregnancy)others include: blood and urine test to check for series of things.
Ultrasound scan , non- stress test will also be required. These will help him/her decide if your baby needs to be delivered right away.

Women who had low blood pressure at the start of their pregnancy, followed by significant rise in blood pressure need to be watched closely for other signs of preeclampsia (even if the values are not that high)

�Treatment
The only way to cure preeclampsia is to deliver the baby. If your baby is developed enough (usually 37weeks and above) your doctor may want to deliver immediately so the preeclampsia doesn’t get worse. You may receive medicine to help induce labor or may need a C-section.

If your baby isn’t fully developed and you have mild preeclampsia, the disease can often be managed at home until your baby has a good chance of surviving. In that case, your doctor may recommend:
✅Bed rest, lying on your left side most or all of the time
✅Drinking plenty of water
✅Eating less salt
✅Frequent doctor visit to make sure you’re Ok
✅Medicine to lower your blood pressure

Sometimes a pregnant woman with preeclampsia is admitted to the hospital. Treatment in the hospital may include:
✅Close monitoring of both Mom and developing baby
✅Medicine to control blood pressure and prevent seizures and other complications
✅asteroid injections (after 24weeks) to help speed development of baby’s lungs.

�Delivery
You and your doctor will discuss the safest time to deliver your baby.
Factors considered include how well the baby is doing in the womb, severity of symptoms (preeclampsia can be very dangerous for the mother) and how close you are to your due date. (The further along you are, the better for your baby.)
The baby must be delivered right away if there are signs of severe preeclampsia. These include:
❗️Tests that show your baby isn’t growing well or getting enough blood and oxygen
❗️The bottom number of your blood pressure (diastolic) is over 110mmHg or consistently higher than 100mmHg over a 24-hr period
❗️Abnormal liver function test results
❗️Seizures (convulsions) or changes in mental function in mother (eclampsia)
❗️Fluid in the mother’s lungs (pulmonary edema)
❗️Severe headaches
❗️pain in the belly area
❗️Low platelet count or bleeding
❗️Low Urine output, a lot of protein in the urine and other signs kidneys aren’t working right.

�Complications
Severe complication include
�bleeding problems,
�separation of the placenta from the uterus before baby is born (Placenta abruption)
�rupture of the liver
�and in some cases Death (of both mother and child)

So call your doctor right away if you have any preeclampsia symptoms.

She should take fruits in moderation.
ook out for food or snacks her body tolerates.
Ensure she drinks water even if it's sips intermittently. Cold , warm , or flavoured doesn't matter.

Good day beautiful people.I sleep very well overnight but I'm always feeling sleepy during the day. I'm will be 8 weeks tomorrow. please does it have anything to do with pcv ? I didn't experience all these tiredness during my first child's pregnancy. it's only folic acid I'm taking daily for now. Thank you

I am in this exact boat with you. I had extreme tiredness during my first trimester and it was not like that with my first pregnant. My test results all came out fine. Every pregnancy is different. So try and sleep as much as you can. I am in my 2nd trimester now and still get very tired but I found a way to manage. I get to work before 8am. I sign in. Then go back to the car and sleep for another 1 hour. I discover that it help me to stay sharp during the day. If I dont take that nap, forget it. Tiredness will start before 12pm. So find out what works for you. Bottomline just make sure you get a nap.

I'm two and a half months gone and noticed malaria symptoms. On the advice of a friend, I took Swipha (Fansidar). She assured me she took it all through her pregnancies and was fine.

I made the mistake of taking it before calling my doctor and he told me the drug is too strong for the first trimester and should only be taken from the fourth month.

Now I'm worried sick. Is there something I can do to reduce the effect of the drug? Please help a worried mom �

Good day everyone,

Please I'm TTC, I wanna confirm if this drugs Pregnant Care Conception is very active and good to recommend.

Thank you.
