Question 1

what is the normal level of pcv at 38 weeks pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Not relevant: When we are checking blood counts during pregnancy, assuming that the basic counts related to hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets are normal for pregnancy, then we really do not spend too much time looking at these individual parameters related to red blood cells.  If there is a more specific problem being asked, please ask!

Question 2

decrease in mucous discharge at 38 weeks pregnancy. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Mucus discharge in pregnancy is very inconsistent.  Sometimes there is a lot and sometimes there isn't.  Both are normal.  Best wishes!

Question 3

would a d&c be performed if a mother is miscarrying at 37/38 weeks pregnancy? and if so, how soon before the patient is discharged?

Accepted Answer

Term pregnancy: At that point, the pregnancy is full term and will be "stillborn."  A sad situation and I feel for her.
She will likely have her labor induced and deliver vaginally if possible.  The length of stay in the hospital will be similar to one for a regular birth.  This assumes the mother doesn't have a complication such as an infection.

Question 4

clear water drops and one time small fresh blood spot period like cramping is it labor or something else at 38 weeks pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Obgyn evaluation: You will need to contact your Obgyn to arrange an evaluation. Since you are near term you will need to make sure you did not break your water. You could just be dilating and passing your mucous plug. An evaluation will be needed to determine what is going on.

Question 5

swelling during pregnancy after 38 weeks  ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Swelling is common, as the fetus takes up so much room that vascular and other body parts are being moved and squeezed, so it is common to have a back up of fluid, especially in the extremities. At 38 weeks you should be seen by your OB for anything however. You are close! congratulations and good luck!

Question 6
