I'm 28 years old and I'm 5 weeks pregnant bt I'm experiencing pain in my back or legs plz suggest it's reason nd cures
Hi Divya,
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Back and leg pain during pregnancy, especially around the 5th week, is quite common due to the body undergoing several changes to accommodate the growing baby. Here are a few potential reasons for your pain:
Hormonal Changes: During pregnancy, your body releases a hormone called relaxin. This hormone helps your body prepare for childbirth, but can also make your ligaments more relaxed, leading to discomfort in the back and legs.
Weight Gain: As your baby grows, additional weight can put strain on your back and legs, causing pain.
Proper Posture: Maintain a good posture while sitting, standing, or sleeping to relieve strain on your back.
Gentle Exercises: Prenatal yoga or light stretching can help with flexibility and reduce discomfort. Always check with your doctor before starting.
Supportive Footwear: Avoid high heels and wear comfortable, supportive shoes.
Warm Compress or Cold Packs: Apply heat or cold to the affected area for relief.
Sleep Position: Sleep on your left side with a pillow between your legs to reduce pressure on your lower back.
It’s important to keep your gynaecologist informed about any new pain. They may suggest additional remedies or check for underlying conditions, especially if the pain worsens.
Take care and wishing you a healthy pregnancy!
What is double marker test ...........................
Hi Viahnu Ji,
Thanks for your question!
The Double Marker Test is a screening test done during pregnancy, usually between the 9th and 13th week, to check the baby’s risk of having certain chromosomal abnormalities — mainly Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13.
The test looks at two markers in the mother's blood:
These are combined with other details, such as your age and ultrasound findings (nuchal translucency), to calculate the baby’s risk.
Yes, it’s completely safe for both mother and baby — just a simple blood test.
If you or someone you know is expecting and planning this test, we can help you connect with a good specialist, book appointments, or answer any further questions.
Does ABHA covers all medical expenses related to pregnancy?
Hello Pankaj ji,
Probably by ABHA procedure coverage, you mean Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) — the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana aimed at providing free healthcare to eligible individuals across India.
✅ Yes, pregnancy-related medical procedures are covered under Ayushman Bharat, including:
Antenatal Care (ANC)
Delivery Services
Postnatal Care (PNC)
However, to avail these benefits, you must ensure that the hospital is empanelled under PM-JAY in Delhi.
