Is jamun fruit safe in pregnancy
Hi doctor….i am eating jamun fruit everyday but my friends and family members are saying eating jamun fruit may develop black patches on baby’s face. Is this true? Should I stop consuming?
Hi Sravanthi, I had a similar query and Dr responded “You can have it in pregnancy but-in moderation.”
No. There is no scientific evidence that it causes black patches.
But better to take in small quantities and avoid in daily basis. Plan in moderation.

Hi Mam,
I am 25 weeks pregnant, I have observed a little nose bleeding from the right nostril today morning.
Yesterday only I had met my gynic, Is it common in pregnancy or Do I need to visit hospital immediately?
Thank you.

Usually due to increased blood flow due to hormonal changes - mild epistaxis is common in pregnancy.
Sit upright and pinch the nostrils
if minimal bleeding or stopped on its own , then no need to worry but mention about this in next visit.
But if severe bleeding/ persistent/ recurring bleeding episodes- visit your doctor.

Can I replace susten sr with susten soft gel capsule
Hello
I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and have been prescribed Susten SR 300 mg once daily. I have a longstanding difficulty swallowing large tablets. Would it be possible to replace Susten SR with Susten Softgel capsules, or is there any other suitable alternative that would be easier to swallow while providing the same therapeutic benefit?
You can change but it is very important to discuss with your doctor, soft gel capsules can be used orally and vaginally also.
So it depends on which indication your doctor has prescribed the medication.
If you want to change , discuss with your doctor initially and they will adjust the dosage and route according to your medical condition.

NT scan & Symptoms query
Sorry to take your time, I hope it’s okay to ask. Since this is my first pregnancy after my first try, I just wanted some reassurance about a few things.
I haven’t had any vomiting since the start. Apart from slight breast enlargement and body heat for a few weeks, I don’t have many symptoms. I’m eating normally but noticed some weight loss and a flat tummy. I also recently noticed a very light line from below the belly button.
Is NT scan at 14 weeks generally considered the usual timing?
[While replying to your previous text, I noticed an error, so I’m posting the question again here.]
Symptoms can differ in pregnancy.
Nt sacn is generally adviced between 11+4 days to 14 weeks.
If scan is normal, then don’t worry about the weight.

Jaundice and passing stool
My baby is 11 days old and was born at 35 weeks gestation.
He passed stool on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day after birth. On the 8th day, he was given rectal stimulation and passed stool on the 8th and 9th day. It has now been 2 days since his last bowel movement. He is passing gas but has not passed stool.
I am concerned because he is also being treated for jaundice, and I understand that passing stool helps eliminate bilirubin from the body.
Is this pattern normal in a late-preterm newborn? Are there any safe medications or natural remedies that can help him pass stool, or should we simply continue to monitor him?
As he is having jaundice, consult paediatrician to see the level of jaundice and mention regarding the bowel movements. Usually in preterm babies, bowel movements can irregular, but as being treated for jaundice better to consult paediatrician.

Baby weight gain
Do babies gain weight consistently over a period of time? My baby is born one month premature. Her initial weight gain was 40 gms per day. Now in 7 weeks it has come down to 30 gms per day weight gain. This is through direct breastfeeding, expressed milk and formula milk. Is there anything to check to see if the weight gain is fine? I want to make sure she is getting enough milk.
Urine count is 6 plus diapers and potty count is fine too.
Mostly then fine if urine output is fine.
talk to your paediatrician regarding weight gain , they will be in a better position to see the growth pattern
