The breech position is due to "anhydramnios".

At week 30, the preterm still has time to adjust itself to 'head down' position. But with anhydramnios, the chances of the baby adjusting before due time is low. One of the functions of the amniotic fluid is to suspend the foetus and allow easy adjustment towards the right position. But with little amniotic fluid, the rate of adjustment will be low, leading to breech position.

I'm afraid if the foetus fails to adjust properly after week 37, caesarian section would be indicated.

What you can do now is pray that God intervenes. Also, you can seek the help of a midwife. Breech position can be adjusted when the tummy is carefully massaged and twisted in order to induce the foetus to turn properly.

..

@ doc. the baby is not breech but sideways my last scan says cephalic but I think the baby turn alot.

The itch in your groin could be due to dry skin. Perhaps, you sustained tiny bruises when you shaved your pubic hair, and the cuts were exposed to germs. Well, you can walk into any pharmacy(not a patent drug store) and ask the pharmacist for antibiotic to use.

I'll strongly think it's a case of 'threatened abortion'. A threatened abortion is a vag*nal bleeding observed in pregnancies below the gestation age of 12weeks.[b][/b]

Were you diagnosed of any sexually transmitted or urinary tract infections?

Were you on any strong medication prior to the advent of the first miscarriage?

So sorry to draw u bk. Bt wasnt it rather a complete abortion? and nt threatened?

tchiwinnie:
So sorry to draw u bk. Bt wasnt it rather a complete abortion? and nt threatened?

The condition in pregnancy characterised by consistent bleeding below week 20 is known as threatened abortion. The implication/complication of such condition leads to spontaneous abortion.

From her post, it wasn't a once occurrence. She experinced such twice, if I'm nt mistaken.

Read the subsequent posts on her case for better understanding.

Hello Dr, I was in d hospital on Monday and another Dr gave me Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium tablet with vitamin C. Pls is this sufficient? quote author=Marc9 post=29605021]

Whoever gave you the diclofenac after you complained of the pain and the coloured discharge probably didn't take you seriously. The discharge with its yellow coloration is likely indicating an infection. So I wonder how diclofenac would treat the infection.

A vag*nal examination, with HVS mcs, is quite necessary. I expected a midwife, or one of the nurses to have examined you, if the hospital had no ob/gynae [/quote]

Yes it is.

Tell your immature colleagues that 'she that laughs last, laughs BEST!

Delay is not denial! Sarah knows best.

Well, 15months of TTC shouldn't get you that worried. All you need do is seek treatment, in order to get you prolactin level back to normal.

Re hyperprolactinemia:

Bromocriptine or dopamine agonist drug class normally does a great job at reducing PRL. How long have you been on it?

Is your hi prolactin due to pituitary mass or ?

Should check your thyroid hormone tho as it could be exercebating it if low T4/T3. Or are you on psych meds?

Your other option is neurosurgery if it is an adenoma that is not shrinking with Drug tx.

Take care

5 weeks is a bit early for waist pain but i think it might not be because of the fetus that you are having pain. It is largely perhaps your own body mechanics.

Were you in normal health and average weight pre-pregnancy.

I would advice a trip to ob for vaginal or abdominal ultrasound to check fetus, beta HCG and confirm gestational age and such.

If you must, NSAIDs like ibuprofen are safe within reason at this stage. Try alternate cold/heat pack at low back and sides, practise good posture

@xiadnat my doctor placed me on it for one month it reduced and it went up again and he placed me on it for another 1 month and reduced and up again there is being a break on it since
March 2014 that I was diagnosed with it I have only use 2months and it was not at a stretch , though considering a change of gynea he is never accessible,from the info I gathered I guess he didn't put me on it long enough

Vitamin-E (Tocopherol) is an anti-oxidant. It enhances fertility.

7months TTC is not yet a cause for an alarm. Just keep trying.

You should eat lots of vegetables and fruits. Your attempts will eventually yield conception.

All the best!

Smile....

The discomforts associated with pregnancy are mostly experinced in primigravidae(first time pregnancies). This isn't your first pregnancy, so it's normal for you not experincing those discomforts first timers do experince.

Don't fret, your pregnancy is intact, and you'll give birth like a hebrew woman!

All the best!

thanks for ur prompt response. I really appreciate. God bless u.

@Marc9, thanks for a job weldone on the thread. I've read about the importance of Vit E as pertains to fertility, what about Omega 3 and 9 (fish Oil). How relevant is it for ttc?

Thanks.

Hello Doc, for the past 4months have been having an itchy sore on my right aeriola(breast). It itches so bad and brings out lots of fluid that i rub aboniki on it and then cover with tissue and bra, else it stains my dress. It started when i was pregnant but still breastfeeding my 1year old son. i later lost the pregnancy at 9weeks and an evacuation was done. I continued breastfeeding my son on just the left breast but has to stop when the sore was not healing. The sore is still not healed and am pregnant again. Been to hospital and Canestan cream was recommended, have taken fluconazole and other creams too, yet no solution. Don't know what to do because i want to nurse my baby on the two breast when i put to bed. I am tired of wearing tissue in my bra every day to work.

You were likely treating wrongly. The sore in your left bre*st was most likely caused by bacteria(Staph aureus). Canestan and fluconazole are anti-fungal creams, so don't expect the soreness to heal up.

What u need is an effective anti-bacterial cream, plus oral antibiotics.

Many thanks Doc! Please can you recommend any cream, as for the antibitics i was also prescribed Augmentin in the hospital which i took religiously. Now i can't take any cos am already 2 months pregnant. Would have to rely on cream alone i guess.
