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.

Vitamin D3 level is low. You can safely take 60,000 IU once a week for 6 to 8 weeks (as per doctor advice). Prenatal vitamins with folic acid are also important during early pregnancy. Follow up with the doctor with regular prenatal checkups and scans
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

View allI have attached my report. It mentions notching in uterine arteries, and a resistance index of 0.59 on the left side and 0.51 on the right side. Could you please explain what notching in the uterine arteries is, and whether these values are normal?

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?
