Question 1

how long will nausea last during pregnancy ? first trimester. ?

Accepted Answer

Individual: There's no absolute rule, but probably 98% of women find their nausea improves in the 2nd trimester.

Question 2

is black loose stools during pregnancy first trimester normal?

Accepted Answer

If on IRON: The iron in the prenatal vitamin, or if you are even on a supplemental Iron pill can cause the stool to be black.  Call your GYN to assure you are on an iron supplement.  If so, most likely fine, but at next visit, you could always have your stool checked for heme to be safe.  Best wishes.

Question 3

is it safe to take lacson syrup and senokot during pregnancy (first trimester) for relief of constipation ?

Accepted Answer

Use either, not both: lacson (lactulose) is safer than senokot, during pregnancy, although relatively safe, use either with caution though, wish you a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby

Question 4

what kind of exercises should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Not many: I tell my patients that as long as they are not bleeding they can continue all exercises they were doing prior to pregnancy. It's important to stay hydrated throughout the workout.  You obviously wouldn't want to be involved in any exercises that can cause trauma to your abdomen.

Question 5

can u masterbate during your first trimester of pregnancy ?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation: Yes. You do not need permission to be sexual, even when you are pregnant.  Masturbation is normal, common and of no concern in this scenario.

Question 6

are cramps normal during early first trimester of pregnancy?

: Abdominal pain that is associated with vaginal bleeding, nausea and vomiting are concerning. A transvaginal/pelvic ultrasound can reassure baby is growing healthy and in the right location. Mild cramping by itself can be a sign of a UTI, vaginal infection, STD, or GI issue. Early establishment of prenatal care is highly recommended
