Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Yes, you can take GASEX (Ayurvedic medicine) at this stage of pregnancy. It is quite safe. Alternatively, you can take RANTAC in empty stomach.

You should take healthy easy digestible food, drink plenty of water, eat more green vegetables, keep bowel habit regular and take adequate bed rest.

Brief Answer:
DETAILS ARE GIVEN BELOW.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

1) One or two loops of cord around fetal neck is seen among few percentage of pregnancies during 2nd or 3rd trimester. It usually does not cause any problem or complication during delivery of the baby.

However, special care should be taken during delivery by healthcare attendant or nursing staff to avoid asphyxia or respiratory distress of the baby.

2) Fetal hiccups may occur anytime during pregnancy. However, it is quite common and prominent during 2nd/ 3rd trimester.

It occurs due to cord compression, reflex development, diaphragm contraction etc. You should monitor the baby’s fetal kicks so that you can report them if they continue for an inordinate amount of time. You should be relaxed and take adequate bed rest at left lateral position.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for query.

Usually, cords around fetal neck doesn't cause any problem before starting labor or during delivery as it can be removed easily at that time. However, special care may need to take in few cases to avoid respiratory distress or asphyxia.

I suggest you to undergo periodic check up with ultrasound scan for proper monitoring. Kindly, consult with your obstetrician regarding this.

Good luck and all the best.
