Question 1

Dear Doctor, I am one month pregnant and, I have not been able to visit a doctor in person. I am currently taking care of myself by having natural foods and drinks. My recent report shows a deficiency in Vitamin D3, with a level of 19. I would like to know whether I should take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week or once a month. Also, please advise what other supplements or care I should follow during my pregnancy.

Question 2

My wife is 5 weeks pregnant, and during a general blood check up, her report showed a high MCHC value. I would like to know if this could cause any problems for her or the baby. Please guide me on this issue and suggest any necessary treatment or precautions. I have attached the blood report for your reference.

Question 3

My wife is 8 weeks pregnant. Two days ago, we had a scan done, which was normal, and other blood tests were prescribed by the doctor. One particular test, Hb electrophoresis, shows abnormal readings (report attached). After seeing the results, the doctor said the reports were wrong and asked us to meet the lab technician. However, the lab technician and pathology doctor insist the reports are correct and advised us to consult the doctor again. The doctor has not provided any clear explanation and seems confused by the report.

Can someone please help us understand these results? We are worried about the abnormal readings.

Dear Doctor, please have a look at my report. I am worried and would like to know if everything is normal or not. I have a twin pregnancy.

Twin pregnancy is a high risk pregnancy, and your concern is valid. If your report shows everything is progressing well, that is a good sign. Please ensure you get regular follow ups and scans.
