Question 1

Dear Doctor, I am one month pregnant and, I have not been able to visit a doctor in person. I am currently taking care of myself by having natural foods and drinks. My recent report shows a deficiency in Vitamin D3, with a level of 19. I would like to know whether I should take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week or once a month. Also, please advise what other supplements or care I should follow during my pregnancy.

Question 2

Dear Doctor, My wife has been suffering from typhoid for the past month. Allopathic medicines did not work, so she started Ayurvedic treatment one week ago. For the past week, she has been consuming mostly water and fruit juice, but I have not noticed much improvement. She has small pearl like bumps on her neck and arms, some are reducing while new ones are appearing. She also has persistent back pain and is feeling very hungry, as she cannot continue fasting. Additionally, she is now pregnant (last period was 19th May, home pregnancy test positive). Her hemoglobin is low at 8, weight is 45 kg, and height is 5.2. My questions are:
What medicines can she safely take alongside Ayurvedic treatment so that the pregnancy is not affected?
What should her diet include now to help recover from typhoid while ensuring safety for her pregnancy?

Question 3

Dear doctor, I went to a government hospital for a pregnancy test for my wife. They said the pregnancy is positive, and something is written on the registration slip. I need your help to understand the test mentioned and whether the results are favorable or not. What is good or bad in the test? Thank you.

A slightly high MCHC is common and not usually harmful during pregnancy . No major impact on baby if other values are normal.
