I'm 19 years old girl. I've been diagnosed with pcod 4 months ago and its treatment is going on. I've been feeling heart wrenching pain in my lower back since past 1 month. Suggest me something to cure it. It's really very difficult for me to sit in college with this pain.

Hello Sabita Ji, 

Feeling uncomfortable while sleeping during pregnancy is quite common, especially as your baby grows and your body undergoes changes. Here are some tips to help you sleep better:

1. Try sleeping on your left side. It improves blood flow to your baby and reduces pressure on your back and organs.

2. For extra comfort, use pillows to support your belly and back. You can also place a pillow between your knees. A U-shaped or C-shaped pregnancy pillow can provide full-body support and help you find a comfortable position.

3. Avoid Lying on Your Back, as sleeping on your back can compress major blood vessels and cause discomfort or dizziness.

4. Drink plenty of water during the day but reduce intake before bedtime to minimize nighttime bathroom trips.

5. Gentle prenatal yoga or stretching can ease muscle tension and improve sleep quality.

6. Avoid eating heavy or spicy meals close to bedtime. Sleep with your upper body slightly elevated to prevent acid reflux.

If you continue feeling uncomfortable or experience persistent pain, insomnia, or any unusual symptoms, consult your obstetrician for personalized advice.

Hello Harshada Ji,

Such concerns require consultation and evaluation by a medical specialist to understand the exact cause and determine the appropriate treatment.

Please seek professional medical advice as soon as possible to ensure proper diagnosis and care.

Hello Dr Anisha,

A fasting blood glucose level of 96 mg/dL during pregnancy is slightly elevated but not alarming. It may indicate that your body is experiencing some difficulty managing blood sugar levels, which can happen during pregnancy. However, since your other glucose tolerance test (GTT) results are normal, this may not necessarily point to gestational diabetes.

What You Can Do:

1. Share the test results with your doctor to determine if any further testing or monitoring is needed.
2. Focus on eating balanced meals with complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fibre to help regulate blood sugar levels.
3. Gentle exercises like walking or prenatal yoga can also improve blood sugar control.

Your doctor may suggest repeating the test later in pregnancy or providing specific recommendations to ensure optimal maternal and fetal health.
