Question 1

is it normal for a pregnant woman to have out following blood in the 9th month?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Some women have spotting at the end of pregnancy when they are getting ready to go into labor.  We call that bloody show.  However if the bleeding is like a period or heavier, that is not normal and you should go to labor and delivery immediately

Question 2

what is the normal blood sugar levels for a pregnant woman?

Accepted Answer

Blood sugar: Fasting blood sugar: 90-120.  Post prandial (2 hours after the meal): 140-160.

Question 3

Same as nonpregnant: The same as a nonpregnant woman. Less than 100 mg/dl.

Question 4

is a 83/65 blood pressure normal for a 34 week pregnant women, or a ninefive over sixty three with a pulse rate of 122 ok?

Accepted Answer

No and could be: 95/63, could be more acceptable , but 83/65 and a pulse rate 122 in not normal, .Contact your dr for further evaluation.

Question 5

whats the impact of having high protein levels (++++) in a urine of a pregnant woman, at 22 weeks? also checked blood pressure, it was normal. the concern is the high protein. should we be very worried? whats the treatment? dos and donts?

Accepted Answer

High urine protein: Higher levels of protein may suggest a possible urinary tract infection or kidney disease. Preeclampsia may be a concern if higher levels of protein are found later in pregnancy, combined with high blood pressure. Have your Dr do a urinalysis with culture and check your blood pressure daily and report any readings higher than 120/70 to your OB Dr.

Question 6

i am pregnant women with 21 weeks having blood pressure 106/73. my legs are swollen . is my blood pressure normal or not?  thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Looks great!: Hopefully it will stay that good the WHOLE time! Good luck! Keep your legs elevated when you can.  Do NOT wear flip flops-only good supportive shoes that you are less likely to trip! Keep knees higher than hips when sitting!

Things to look out for: sudden VERY HIGH BP (&gt;140/90), with swelling of hands, face, and feet that doesn't go away after sleeping, perhaps a bad headache--see your OB ASAP!

Question 7

any truth to the claim that consuming more fat, include trans fat, and little/no sugar will bring blood glucose level to normal range?  exercise too.

Accepted Answer

Don't get your life: With diabetes, you need to be monitored closely as you experiment. Don't expect miraculous results from swapping calories from one group to another. It's much more to your credit that you're exercising, and this will be a huge help to you -- as will simply being pro-active about your health. Best wishes.

Question 8

i get blurry vision after eating starch sugar or carbs. and my blood glucose will be between 111 and 128 using my handheld glucose meter. why such strong fatigue if thats normal ranges? sugar and carbs make me feel strange yet glucose under 130 why?

Accepted Answer

Worth a doctor visit: For better evaluation, it might not be related to your blood sugar, you may need referral to an ophthalmologist as well, best wishes

Question 9

how much blood should a pregnant woman have?

Accepted Answer

Where?: none from the vagina; up to 30% more in her circulation

Question 10

what does it mean when blood is found in a pregnant woman urine?

Accepted Answer

Several possibilitie: Can mean a urinary tract infection, either lower (confined to bladder) or upper (including kidneys).  Your obgyn can determine that relatively easily.  Can also be the result of the trauma of having a growing fetus/uterus/fluid complex resting on your bladder.  While hematuria (bloody urine) is a symptoms of bladder cancer, in women of child-bearing age, that risk is miniscule.
