Safad Pani bhot jata ha ussa band kase kare kya ap mujha bata sakte ha

Hi Divya,

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Back and leg pain during pregnancy, especially around the 5th week, is quite common due to the body undergoing several changes to accommodate the growing baby. Here are a few potential reasons for your pain:

Possible Causes

1. Hormonal Changes: During pregnancy, your body releases a hormone called relaxin. This hormone helps your body prepare for childbirth, but can also make your ligaments more relaxed, leading to discomfort in the back and legs.

2. Weight Gain: As your baby grows, additional weight can put strain on your back and legs, causing pain.

Tips for Relief

• Proper Posture: Maintain a good posture while sitting, standing, or sleeping to relieve strain on your back.

• Gentle Exercises: Prenatal yoga or light stretching can help with flexibility and reduce discomfort. Always check with your doctor before starting.

• Supportive Footwear: Avoid high heels and wear comfortable, supportive shoes.

• Warm Compress or Cold Packs: Apply heat or cold to the affected area for relief.

• Sleep Position: Sleep on your left side with a pillow between your legs to reduce pressure on your lower back.

It’s important to keep your gynaecologist informed about any new pain. They may suggest additional remedies or check for underlying conditions, especially if the pain worsens.

Take care and wishing you a healthy pregnancy!

Hi Viahnu Ji,

Thanks for your question!

The Double Marker Test is a screening test done during pregnancy, usually between the 9th and 13th week, to check the baby’s risk of having certain chromosomal abnormalities — mainly Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13.

What does the test measure?

The test looks at two markers in the mother's blood:

1. Free Beta hCG (a pregnancy hormone)
2. PAPP-A (Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A)

These are combined with other details, such as your age and ultrasound findings (nuchal translucency), to calculate the baby’s risk.

Why is it important?

• It does not diagnose a condition but tells you if there’s a higher or lower chance that your baby might have a genetic issue.
• If the risk is high, further tests like NIPT or amniocentesis may be recommended to confirm.

Is it safe?

Yes, it’s completely safe for both mother and baby — just a simple blood test.

If you or someone you know is expecting and planning this test, we can help you connect with a good specialist, book appointments, or answer any further questions.
