I'm 33 weeks pregnant and just had a sonography that showed the cord around the baby's neck. What should I do? Can you give me some advice?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hello, 25% of babies are born with the cord around their neck one or more times. Most people hear the cord was around the neck and freak out thinking their baby could strangle. The thing we forget is they don't actually breathe inside the womb. They get their oxygen through the cord. The only way it could cause a problem is if the umbilical cord became so compressed that it completely cut off the cord blood flow. Which usually happens when you get labour contractions,, at that time doctors will monitor heart rate of baby, if heart is is dropping during contractions or Baby not able to headdown our doctor will go for cesarean section, if nothing unusual vaginal delivery can be expected. Talk you your doctor.

Last October I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid ovarian cyst and my left ovary. Now they found a similar 6.4 cm cyst on my right ovary. Is there any way to shrink this cyst since I'm unmarried and want to preserve my fertility?
Hormonal cysts can sometimes be shrunk with birth control pills. Fertility-sparing surgery like cystectomy is an option if it grows or causes symptoms.

I'm planning for pregnancy and sometimes I need to take montair Lc as my doctor recommended. I'm a bit worried though. Could this affect my pregnancy planning in any way?
Montair LC, containing montelukast and levocetirizine, is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but consult your doctor before planning a pregnancy while taking this medication, as they may recommend alternative treatments or close monitoring to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
