I'm 7 weeks pregnant and dealing with a lot of acidity. I'm wondering if it's safe to take Gelusil syrup for this. Can you advise?

Based on your blood test report:
High PDW (18.9 fl), MPV, and PLCR indicate:
- Platelet size variation: High PDW suggests a larger variation in platelet size, which can be seen in conditions like thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis.
- Larger platelets: Elevated MPV indicates larger-than-average platelets, which can be associated with conditions like thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, or inflammation.
- Increased platelet activation: High PLCR suggests increased platelet activation, which can be seen in conditions like thrombotic disorders, inflammation, or infection.
Reason for concern:
While these results are abnormal, they don't necessarily indicate a serious underlying condition. However, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any potential health issues.

View allI just had my TIFFA scan at 21 weeks, and it showed that my cervix length is 2.9 cm. Is this normal? My doctor mentioned it's on the shorter side. Should I be concerned? Can I still do exercises, or is there something else I should be doing?
A cervix length of 2.9 cm at 21 weeks is considered short, increasing the risk of preterm labor; your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage, progesterone supplements, or pelvic rest; exercises like Kegel's and pelvic tilts may be beneficial, but consult your doctor before starting any new exercises or treatments.

I'm trying to understand what Susten 300 tablets are used for. Are they meant to help with getting my period on track or are they more for supporting pregnancy? I'm a bit confused about this and would really appreciate some guidance.
Susten 300mg contains progesterone, which is a endogenous hormone in the human body. It can be used in various conditions, including to support early pregnancy or for the treatment of dysmenorrhea (irregular periods).
