Folic Acid While Breastfeeding

My iron levels are in normal range, as well as my liver function. My folic acid and vitamin b 12 are also in normal range. So what else could cause this high mcv. What is causing the low mchc?

This is not at all important in a normal pt. They are important for pt with blood disorder like haemophilia, leukemia, thalicemia. All values change in 23 g 25 days. This is internal matter means vascular system. No relation with vit d b12 etc.

Yes you can. At 5 months post delivery, you need not take iron anymore. Just continue calcium until you breastfeed.

Hi. Pms can occur anytime during the month and sometimes even during your mensus. Early pregnancy could be symptomless in some and can present as loss of apetite/nausea/vomiting/increase frequency of micturition etc. Its unlikely that pregnancy symptoms appear so soon. If your trying to conceive, try around ovulation and wait. Upt done too quickly will not gv result. Continue taking folic acid.

I am 28 years old, mom of two kids. Younger one is 11 months old and I am lactating her along with solid foods. I had abortion when my second kid is 5 and half months. From that moment I am feeling severe back pain and my toes and fingers gets swelling while waking up from the bed and I can not able to to fold. I even can not able to keep few steps forward. After sometime, the pain will get reduced by itself and the bone aches remains there for whole days. I realised it whenever I carry my younger one but can not able to hold her for one shot of 10 mins. So consulted few doctors they suggested calcium 1gm, iron, b complex, vitamin d tablets upto the date I last breastfeeding my younger one. I feel little depressed and finally consulted a siddha practitioner and had chooranam for about 30 days. Days went happily but after a month / now the pain is again re-entering in my body. How can I control it with exercise? Shall I take multivitamin gummies available in online shops which has all vitamins a, b, c, d,k, zinc, folic acid and so on? Pls suggest me to get well soon?

Dear madam, thanks for your consultation. I can understand your pain and difficulty as a new mom. You continue with your calcium and vitamin d and iron supplements as usual. But since you are having persitent and recurring pain, better to have an xray and find out if there is any significant cause for the pain. You can send me your xray through the Lybrate app. If you can tell me, you are in which part of madurai, I shall recommend you for the xray examination, if you need help. Please don't hesitate to fix up an online appointment with me. I shall try my best in solving your problem. Presently you can take some pain reliever like paracetamol and diclofenac gel. Regards.

First whether milk is sufficient or not should be confirmed by Paediatrician after examining baby. If not sufficient- mainly nothing helps except frequent feeding. However good diet Nutrition in general, high protein, all vitamins, minerals, omega-3, calcium, supplements like folic acid, DHA, Iron later.

The symptoms are normal in pregnancy. Do not worry. You can go by flight or train. They are safe. Just keep yourself hydrated and try to move your legs when inside the train/ flight. tDAP vaccine is needed after 24 week.s
