I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my baby's weight is currently 2 kg, is this normal? I'm wondering if it's possible for my baby to gain up to 2.6 kg in the next 3 weeks. What steps can I take to help increase my baby's weight?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It is unlikely for the baby to gain 2.6 kg in just 3 weeks, but steady weight gain is expected in the third trimester. To support healthy fetal growth, make sure you are eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients such as protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Additionally, staying hydrated and getting regular prenatal check-ups can help monitor your baby's growth and development.

View allMy wife is struggling with vaginal dryness, and it's becoming a bit of an issue for us when it comes to our intimacy. Could you recommend a good vaginal lubricant that we can pick up at the local pharmacy?
This is often the result of not enough foreplay. Insufficient lubrication is also commonly caused by a drop in estrogen levels after menopause, after childbirth or during breast-feeding. Certain medications are known to inhibit desire or arousal, which can decrease lubrication and make sex painful. These include antidepressants, high blood pressure medications, sedatives, antihistamines and certain birth control pills. This includes injury or irritation from an accident, pelvic surgery, female circumcision or a cut made during childbirth to enlarge the birth canal (episiotomy). An infection in your genital area or urinary tract can cause painful intercourse. Eczema or other skin problems in your genital area also can be the problem...Involuntary spasms of the muscles of the vaginal wall (vaginismus) can make attempts at penetration...consult gynecologist they will help you further

I'm experiencing a really unbearable itch right at the entrance of my vagina, and there's this white, curd-like discharge coming from it. It also gets swollen if I scratch it. This just started yesterday, but it's already the second time this year that it's happened. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection, which can cause itching, swelling, and a white, curd-like discharge. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antifungal medication. In the meantime, try to keep the area clean and dry to help ease the discomfort.

So, my wife was supposed to have her period about two weeks ago, but it never showed up. We tried using a pregnancy test a couple of times, but it keeps saying negative. But now she tells me she actually got her period yesterday. We've been married for a year, and this is the first time she's ever missed her period. We're a bit confused right now. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
some times it is physiological
