Streptococcus B
I learned that I have strep B. Is there a risk for my baby?
AdelRose – 75004 paris
The only time there is a risk of transmission is during childbirth, when the baby passes through the genital tract. This is why we only treat streptococcus B during labor, where the mother is given antibiotics to protect the baby. At birth, we make sure that the newborn has not received a germ. Otherwise, he will also be put on antibiotics.
Basin radio
My sister, who is pregnant, is going to take an X-ray from the basin. It’s risky ?
Abracagata – 24100 Bergerac
Not at all ! An X-ray can be done at the end of pregnancy to find out if the pelvis is large enough to allow a natural delivery. If it is a large baby, if it is in breech, or if the mother measures less than 1,55 m, the pelvis radio is in this case systematic.
Organ descent
I had organ (bladder) descent after giving birth. I’m afraid for the rest of my 2nd pregnancy …
Ada92 – 92300 Levallois-Perret
To limit the risks of a new organ descent, avoid carrying heavy loads at all costs and “do sit-ups” as long as your perineal rehabilitation sessions are not over. Many young mothers neglect them, wrongly!
Micropolycystic ovaries
My gynecologist told me that I have micropolycystic ovaries, is it serious?
Paloutche – 65 Tarbes
At the origin of this disorder: often a hormonal problem. The ovaries are much larger and therefore less effective. Suddenly, it can happen that ovulation hurts. But beware, no hasty conclusion: “micropolycystic” ovaries do not necessarily lead to sterility problems.
Transfused transfusion syndrome
I heard about transfusion syndrome in twins, what is it?
Benhelene – 44 Nantes
The transfusion syndrome is a poor distribution of circulation between identical twins: one “pumps” everything (the transfused), undergoing higher blood pressure and growing, to the detriment of the other baby (the transfuser). A phenomenon that remains relatively rare.
Baby in seat
Baby had been placed upside down for several weeks, but this rascal turned around! I’m a bit worried…
Kristinna – 92 170 Vanves
Do not worry, even if the baby remains in breech, this is not part of the so-called “pathological” deliveries.
Detachment of membranes
Detachment of membranes, what is it exactly?
Babyonway – 84 avignon
We call “detachment of the membranes”, a cervical detachment, which can occur in late pregnancy and cause contractions. For more precautions, the watchword for the future mother is: rest!
Brown losses
I am one month pregnant and I have brown discharge …
Marsyle – 22 Saint-Brieuc
Do not panic, this brown discharge may just be early pregnancy bleeding, which is fairly common. Do not hesitate, however, to talk to your doctor.
Repeated urinary tract infections
I am prone to cystitis. What if I have them during pregnancy?
oOElisaOo – 15 Auriac
Drink, drink, and drink again, 1,5 to 2 L of water per day to “clean” the bladder and prevent the urinary tract infection to set in. In any case, it is better to consult a doctor.
Poor blood circulation
I am starting to have signs of edema in my legs. How can I fix it?
Olilodi – 83 200 Toulon
1st “well-being” reflex: a good spray of cold water on your legs to stimulate blood circulation. Also remember to elevate the foot of your bed (not the mattress!) With wedges, and to put your legs up when you are seated. It is not advisable to stand for a long time, or even to cross over or wear pants that are too tight.
Gestational diabetes screening
I have to do a test, the O’Sullivan, to detect possible gestational diabetes. How’s it going ?
Macora – 62 300 Lens
For the O’Sullivan test, head to the laboratory where you will first be given a blood test. fasting blood sugar, then another, an hour later, after ingestion of 50 g of glucose. If your blood sugar level exceeds 1,30 g / L, you will then be given a second test called OGTT (oral hyperglycemia) which will confirm or not gestational diabetes.
Ligament pain
I feel electric shocks in the lower abdomen, sometimes even up to the vagina. I’m worried …
Les3pommes – 59650 Villeneuve d’Ascq
Have no fear, these electric shocks, as you say, are surely ligament pain due to your growing uterus and pulls on your ligaments. Nothing abnormal then! But, for more precautions, talk to your doctor.
Retroverted uterus
I learned I have a retroverted uterus, what is it?
Pepperine – 33 Bordeaux
A uterus is said to be retroverted when it does not tilt forward (its natural tilt!), But backwards. Don’t panic though: a retroverted uterus does not prevent having babies. Some moms may experience a little more pain during pregnancy, but nothing serious.
Herpes pimple
I caught a nasty herpes pimple on the lower lip of my face. Can this be dangerous for my baby?
Marichou675 – 69 000 Lyon
Herpes labialis does not no effects on the fetus but it is advisable to treat it during pregnancy. On the other hand, if it persists after childbirth, it will be necessary to be more vigilant. The transmission is done by simple contact and baby is found exposed. Better to wait for the herpes to disappear before covering your little angel with kisses. Another solution: wear a mask, but more restrictive …
