Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
There are no specific signs of pregnancy.
The symptoms are non specific, and vary from person to person.
PRegnancy is confirmed when you miss your period and take a pregnancy test which is positive.
Also by an ultrasound scan around 6 weeks when the baby is seen.
Dizziness might or might not occur, it is not compulsory to have dizziness or any other symptom.
HOpe that helps you.
Would love to discuss in detail if you have other queries.
All the best.

Hello dear.
Congratulations on your pregnancy !

Let me elaborate on your questions now.
1. IDeally, the first scan is scheduled around 7 - 8 weeks, that is when the heartbeat would be seen in the baby. A scan may again be done around 12 weeks to assess the Double Marker test. Next scan is around 20 weeks if everything is normal, and then one or two more scans in the third trimester.
2. Are you having burning sensation in the stomach ?
Where exactly is the pain, and is it burning or dull aching type ?
Any relation with meals ?
3. You can work if you are in a comfortable atmosphere.
Take breaks every hour and walk around.
Try and put your feet up in a chair - can you take a brief nap in the afternoon ?
Keep temperature cool and comfortable ( preferably AC ).
Carry home made food or have a fresh tiffin for lunch delivered to you.
Carry snacks in the form of dahi, raita, sprouts, fruits etc.
Drink a lot of water.
Avoid any tension / stress.
Travelling should be in such a way that there are minimum jerks, and less exposure to crowds and pollution.
4. If everything is normal, and there are no dangers identified by your doctor, then there is no need to take rest.
Sleep well at night, atleast 8 - 10 hours of sleep.
Take care, and let me know if you want to know anything else.

Brief Answer:
As below.
Detailed Answer:
I think it is gastritis.
No, it is not a symptom of anything serious.
It is commonly known as heartburn, and is a common problem during early pregnancy, due to hormonal effects.
There are simple remedies to treat it.
When you sleep at night, sleep with your head propped by 2 pillows.
Have dinner atleast 2 - 3 hours before going to bed.
Have a glass of chilled milk at night before going to bed.
Instead of 2 - 3 major meals, eat small amounts of food at intervals of 2 - 3 hours throughout the day.
Never get up on an empty stomach, have some toast / crackers as soon as you wake up.
Avoid chillies, spices, excessive oil or salt and avoid eating outside at all.
Just have simple, hot, home made food.
Have a lot of liquids - soup, broth, coconut water, kanji, nimbu pani, buttermilk etc.
If none of this works, try taking Tablet Nexium once a day for a week, that should help.
It is quite safe to eat anything in moderation, including dry fruits.
They are good for you, and you can consume any dry fruits you want in safe portions everyday.
I understand that sleeping is problematic at night, as pregnancy makes you uncomfortable.
Dress in cool , comfortable clothes.
Eat dinner early.
Listen to some nice soothing music or just meditate / read some relaxing books while you sleep.
Have a glass of milk before going to bed.
Soon your hormones will stabilize and your body will adjust to being pregnant, and you will be able to sleep.
Do not watch television, use the internet or your phone for an hour before going to bed.
Have a nice shower before going to bed.
You can use lavender essential oil dispensed in your room for better sleep.
Yes, you can have chapatis, there are no hot or cold foods, anything within limits is fine.
Please feel free to ask away.

Thank you for the appreciation, and I wish you a great life ahead !

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
It is good to hear from you.
If your cycles are regular, then based on your LMP ( last menstrual period ), you are now 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant.
The first scan should be done within the next week.
Yes it is a vaginal ultrasound scan.
Vaginal secretion is increased during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, so it is normal.
Yes, you will feel sleepy, tired and exhausted, that is also normal.
That will improve once the second trimester starts.
Just sleep when you feel like, that is the only solution.
Drink lots of water, that will help to combat the exhaustion.
I can understand your craving for these foods, that is also natural in pregnancy.
You can have them in moderation, not too much.
Make sure ice cream is from a reliable source, otherwise you may have stomach infection / food poisoning.
You can try making ice creams and popsicles at home too.
Take care.
Please feel free to discuss further.

Hi again.
Weeks of pregnancy are calculated from date of last menstrual period that you had.
Ultrasound scan also will have dated your pregnancy.
The pregnancy will not be visible now, it will show only after 3 months are over.
The uterus is growing and stretching, so you will feel fullness and bloating there.
It is alright to have a feeling of bloating in early pregnancy, so yes please eat whatever you feel like.
When you tell your boss depends on your terms with him and working conditions.
Yes, you can change the doctor, it is quite early right now.
No, you are alright, continue folic acid supplements as I said.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
It is indeed surprising, I have seen both the reports, and the values are so different.
One of the labs is obviously wrong here.
Please repeat the test at a reputed lab , suggested by your local doctor, before starting treatment.
Thyroid disease has following symptoms - lethargy, unexplained weight gain, constipation, feeling of fatigue and tiredness , etc.
YEs , underactive thyroid in pregnancy can affect the growing baby, if not treated.
Low back pain is common during pregnancy, the joints and ligaments and muscles of the pelvis are stretching, leading to pain and discomfort.
Avoid sitting or sleeping or standing for prolonged periods.
Keep changing your position frequently.
Please get your calcium and vitamin D levels checked.
ALso, you can try a gentle low back massage with Moov.
Apply a hot water bottle there and sleep, you can even take 1 tablet of Combiflam for the pain.
Take care, and keep me posted.

Hi again.
Thank you so much for your appreciation.
It means a lot to me also, that you can trust me with your questions and doubts.
Yes, your thyroid report is normal, there is no need to take any medications.
3 tablets of Thyronorm will not harm you at all, do not worry.
You can repeat the test after 4 weeks, just to confirm.
A few tests which I can think of, which should be done - FBS, PPBS, Thalassemia testing, HIV, Hepatitis B and C.
Well, work and rest will be taking up your whole day, isnt it ?
It is great that you have time and stamina for more activities.
Some things that you can do - walking, knitting for your baby, listening to relaxational music or soothing cassettes, reading appropriate literature, joining antenatal exercise groups.
Try taking B complex multivitamin ( Cobazinc ) - it will reduce the sensation of heat in your palms and feet.
First abdominal scan is done in the second trimester.
Stress does lead to gastritis and stomach pain.
Try and relax / meditate - it is important during pregnancy.

Hello.
I feel 2 out of 3 reports are normal, so there is no need to take Thyronorm.
You can repeat the test once more and consult somebody else for a second opinion.
There is no harm in taking Thyronorm as such, but there should be a reason for taking it.
It is alright not to drink water, you can substitute with other fluids - nimbu pani, buttermilk, kanji, thin soups, juices etc.
Can you upload photos of the clots that you are getting on the hands ? I want to take a look before confirming the diagnosis.
It is not about big or small hospitals, but it is better, if the doctor is involved in scanning or verifies report that is done by Radiology.
If your doctor is having nothing to do with the scanning, then you should think of changing the doctor.
It is normal to feel aversion to food.
Try taking tablet Sinate - OD once a day, that might help in overcoming aversion to food.
Also, eat whatever you like, forget nutrition for the first 3 months, that approach will help.
Try some herbs, lemon, chilli, pepper with your food to improve taste and palatibility.
Take care.
Keep me posted.
