It Is Safe To Continue Taking Folic Acid And Progesterone After 7 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Question: Hi XXXXXXX
Yes we are very fine now. Last Saturday we had a scan for my wife and it showed heart beat of the baby. It showed the baby was 7 weeks 6 days. My wife's last menstrual date was Feb, 26th. So I think everything with respect to the dates is fine right?
Doctor suggested us to take folic acid and progesterone for one more month and she will be again doing scan after that.
I hope everything should go smooth now on wards as the baby got heart beat right?
Regards,
XXXX

Hi XXXX ,
Yes it is expected to have back pain because of progesterone supplement and by body production of progesterone. This make muscle lax and pain .
Dont take pain killer oral. Apply gel which you are using. If pain is severe then you need to consult physiotherapist and learn back exercise and also take some heat therapy.
These excercise needs to be learnt under supervision of physiotherapist. The pain will increase as the tummy grows because of weight.
