Pregnancy Issues

Asked for Female, 37 years

I want to ask that during pregnancy I have gained too much weight and I have been unable to reduce. What should I do? I also wanted to ask that most of the times, I have severe pain in my legs and I can’t sit on the floor properly and if I somehow sit then it gets difficult for me. I have had the “C Section” operation.

Dear Patient,

How long has it been since you delivered? Are you breastfeeding your child? How many meals do you eat and how much sugar intake is there in your diet? How much did you gain(kg)? Has your doctor prescribed you multivitamins- b complex and calcium supplements? Are you taking any hormones for contraception? The pain in legs can be due to low calcium and water in your body. Take Cac 1000 once a day for three months, if you are nursing take 2 glasses water BEFORE EACH feed. Weight loss takes a year or more at least, it is a gradual process. Brisk walk for 20mins per day at least 3-5times/week.
