Brief Answer:
Details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You are taking thyronorm regularly. It is best to take thyronorm at your scheduled time tomorrow also and give the blood sample either before taking the tablet- means early in the morning or at least two hours after taking the tablet.
Growth scan is an ultrasound scan to monitor baby's growth and well being.
The fundal height is measurement of the uterine fundus from symphysis pubis. At 24 weeks, a fundal height of 24 is normal.
If you are taking Susten 300 after 3-4 days then you can stop taking it. It is not needed.
Normally you can deliver a baby anytime after 37 completed weeks. After 26th week, most of the organs have developed but baby yet needs to attain maturity and gain weight.
You can have tea once in a while.
Yes. you can continue taking ecosprin after 7th month also.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Hemoglobin is low.
Detailed Answer:
I have seen the reports. The hemoglobin is low. It can be rectified by iron supplements and diet rich in iron. Oral iron supplements are prescription drugs and you are already taking it. At the same time, you can take Tablet Centrum 1 tablet in the morning 1 hour before/after food. You can also take tablet folic acid 5 mg once a day to take care of any folate deficiency.
The following foods are rich in iron and would prove useful for you:
a. Beans
b. Legumes
c. Grains
d. Meats
e. Jaggery
f. Green leafy vegetables like spinach
Regards.

Brief Answer:
You can take tetanus shot now.
Detailed Answer:
If DTaP vaccine is not avail;able then take a tetanus shot now. Two tetanus injections are needed six weeks apart. If you have have already taken the first dose then do take tetanus second dose now.
Influenza and swine flu are other vaccines that can be given during pregnancy but are not compulsory. You can avoid them also.
During the third trimester you need to concentrate on a high protein diet and do a daily exercise like walking for 15 minutes.
