Hello and welcome to health care magic.

I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.


A positive home pregnancy test almost indicates pregnancy in 99.5% cases.
In a very small number of cases, it may be false positive. So congratulations! pregnancy is there.

Your previous abortion does not have any effect on the baby. You must get registered with a obstetrician and have regular visits there. Start taking folic acid tablets as they help in preventing birth defects in the baby. Try to relax, take a few minutes of rest in the afternoon and sleep for 6-7 hours during night.

It is my duty to inform you that advisable to stop smoking and alcohol during pregnancy as it has bad effects on the baby. Please ignore this if you do not indulge in any of the above.

Eat one fruit every day. A light exercise like a walk helps. Avoid excessive and prolonged work and take rest between work.

This is all that you need for now. Relax and read good literature to keep you happy and calm. Have a safe pregnancy.

Have a good day.
