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

I am 18 weeks pregnant. The placenta is on the right lateral wall of the uterus and is low lying, with the edge covering the internal os. I have bleeding every day (one teaspoon maximum) and sometimes a little watery discharge without touching undergarments. I am regularly consulting with my doctor, who suggests bed rest and prescribed medicines. My hemoglobin was 10.8 as per the 13 week test report. Can continuous bleeding affect the mother and baby? Is this condition curable?

Question 3

My wife is 5 weeks pregnant, and during a general blood check up, her report showed a high MCHC value. I would like to know if this could cause any problems for her or the baby. Please guide me on this issue and suggest any necessary treatment or precautions. I have attached the blood report for your reference.

Hello Doctor, I am 20 weeks pregnant. My recent blood report shows: Hemoglobin (Hb): 11 g/dL RBC: Normocytic, mildly hypochromic Could you please explain what this means and if any treatment or precautions are needed during pregnancy?

Mild anemia, common in pregnancy. Means red cells are normal in size but slightly pale (less hemoglobin). Continue iron rich diet and doctor prescribed supplements.
