Hello Pooja ji gap of 2 year is ideal between two pregnancy but as you are already 8 weeks pregnant you can continue your pregnancy Yes you can recover to normal track after but I would suggest to decrease your feeds to your first child as it will make you and your future baby malnourished Get your USG scans done and start with folic acid and iron tablet as soon as possible Plan your visit to gynec as soon as possible Increase your diet and start having probiotic meal plus 1 tsp protein and try increasing your weight as you are severely malnourished and need to some proper weight increase… Investigation - cbc USG scans
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Navigating pregnancy and pre-existing digestive issues can indeed be challenging, but there are several steps you can take to help manage your symptoms and support a healthy pregnancy. Firstly, nutrition is crucial. Given your low weight and concerns about nutrient absorption, consult a dietitian who can guide you in increasing caloric intake with nutrient-rich foods. As you are underweight, focus on small, frequent meals throughout the day that are balanced in carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Foods such as bananas, oats, and yogurt can be gentle on your digestive system and help with constipation. Hydration is also important, aiming for eight to ten glasses of water daily, including herbal teas if they suit you. For indigestion and gas, consider ginger tea or peppermint tea, but be cautious with peppermint if it worsens heartburn. Since you’re pregnant, it’s essential to avoid non-pregnancy safe medications and consult your obstetrician before taking any new medications or supplements. Constipation is common in pregnancy due to hormonal changes, so include fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. However, introduce fiber gradually and accompany it with sufficient fluids to prevent further discomfort. For now, focus on gentle physical activity like walking and continue yoga with modifications suited for pregnancy. Breathing exercises and meditation can reduce stress and improve overall digestion. Finally, follow up with your healthcare provider regarding the need for any additional supplements like folic acid, prenatal vitamins which are necessary during pregnancy. Regular prenatal check-ups will help monitor your pregnancy health and adjust your plan according to your symptoms and needs. It’s crucial to stay in close communication with your healthcare provider to ensure any treatments or lifestyle changes are appropriate and safe for your pregnancy.
