Raised blood sugar may increase the risk of early labor and delivery before the due date. Sometimes early delivery may be recommended because the baby is large.

I'm dealing with pain in my lower abdomen that's making it really hard to move around. Walking, turning over in bed, sittingeverything hurts. I've already tried taking the painkiller and antibiotic that my doctor recommended, but nothing's helping. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?

Its likely superficial muscular than internal pain. I would suggest you get ultrasound abdomen if pain persists

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
