Question 1

random broken blood vessels all over during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Will improve: These are result of change in hormones and will decrease after delivery. If they do not resolve after delivery they can be easily treated with laser or even electrosurgery. It is best to wait a few months after delivery to see how many resolve. If however any are bleeding, isolated lesions can be treated with electric needle.

Fibers and fluids: Benefiber, metamucil, fibercon are all safe for use during pregnancy. Increase fluids and keep active. Roughages such as fresh/leafy veggies and fruits are healthy and will help constipation as well. Mineral oil can also be used because it is not absorbed.

Question 7

is nauzene safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's basically just sugar and aspartame (nutrasweet).  As long as you don't have phenyketonuria, you can take it.  I am not a fan of aspartame anytime, and i think it's especially important to avoid as many artificial chemicals during pregnancy as possible, so i wouldn't recommend nauzene. There are other nausea treatments that i'd use first (try ginger tea).

Question 8

is brinjal during pregnancy safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: By Brinjal, do you mean Eggplant? Only in the Indian cultures Brinjal is suggested to be avoided during pregnancy (Ayurveda) A normal eggplant has lots of vitamin A, dietary fiber iron. These are essential nutrients that are needed during pregnancy. It is believed that eggplants contain large amounts of phytohormones that may cause contractions so  use your judgement. Moderation is key.

Question 9

care to be taken during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Obstetrics: I am not sure what you are asking. In the U.S. The moment one knows they are pregnant they go to see an obstetrician who runs all kinds of tests, gives literature to read and a schedule on how often and when they should be monitored.  I am not sure of the culture there in india.

Question 10

what shouldn't i do during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Illegal opiates: There are a lot of things to NOT do during pregnancy, but I want to focus on the overuse of opiates by pregnant women and the impact on their unborn children who go through drug "withdrawal". There are several studies about the rising use of these drugs by pregnant women recently and it is a bad testimony to our profession (healthcare) to convey this message to the general public.
