I'm currently using an inhaler called Budamate 200, and I'm just entering my first trimester of pregnancy. I'm worried if it's safe to continue using it during these early months. Could it affect the baby in any way?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Budamate 200, containing budesonide, is classified as a category C medication in pregnancy, meaning its safety is uncertain; however, studies suggest that inhaled corticosteroids like budesonide are generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially when used at low to moderate doses, but consult gynaecologist

View allMy wife is 15 weeks pregnant and we recently found out during her NT scan that she has a low-lying placenta. One doctor mentioned she might need a c-section and warned us about potential risks to both her and the baby's lives, which has me really worried. We also talked to another doctor who said it's not a big deal. I'm trying to understand what all of this really means and what the potential outcomes could be, especially the worst-case scenarios we should be prepared for. Could you help clarify this?
A low-lying placenta, also known as placenta previa, is a condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix. At 15 weeks, it's not uncommon for the placenta to be low-lying, but in most cases, it will move up and away from the cervix as the uterus grows. In about 9 out of 10 cases, a low-lying placenta resolves on its own by the time you reach the third trimester. However, if the condition persists, it may cause bleeding during pregnancy and labor

I'm hoping to get some clarity about something that came up in my sister's recent ultrasound. It mentioned a mild prominence of the bilateral pelvicalyceal system. I'm a bit concerned about what this actually means for the baby and how serious it could be. She's currently 6.5 months pregnant, and I'm wondering if there are any steps we should be taking at this point. Any advice would be appreciated!
mild prominence of bilateral pelvicalyceal system is typically not serious and often resolves naturally. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for ongoing monitoring to ensure the babys kidneys are developing properly. After birth, if necessary, the baby may undergo further tests to assess kidney function.
