I'm currently 132 weeks pregnant, and I've noticed that my fasting sugar levels have gone up to 110, while they used to be around 75 before I got pregnant. Should I be worried about gestational diabetes? And what steps can I take to manage it? I'm also concerned about whether this could harm my baby.

110 mgdL fasting blood sugar is elevated but not necessarily a sign of gestational diabetes on its own. Confirmatory testing will help determine your next steps.

View allI'm dealing with a fever and some chills, and even though I'm taking crosin and ceftum, it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm also pregnant and was prescribed ceftum because of a urine infection. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing?

I've been told I need laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid cyst on my left ovary it's currently 3.2x3 cm. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year, and I'm unsure if I should get the surgery before getting pregnant. Is this cyst size big enough to require removal, or can I wait? What are the risks if I delay surgery?
You need to be cleared of dermoid cyst before planning for pregnancy, as it may pose some problem later. Laparoscopy is the best option. Via laparoscopy we can remove small as well as huge dermoid cyst also taking precautions against spillage of contents. Operative part headache, you can leave it to Gynaecologist. Just go ahead with the surgery and have a safe pregnancy ahead. Good luck

I'm 22 weeks along in my first pregnancy, and after a recent scan, my cervical length measured 2.9 cm. At the NT scan, it was 3 cm. Should I be worried about this change in cervical length, or is it considered normal?
Cervical length of less than 3cm measured between 20-24 weeks of gestation is associated with preterm births and favours vaginal birth whereas, cervical length of more than 4cm is associated with postdated pregnancy and increased incidence of cesarean section.
