Pregnancy and Sex Question Answer | Dr. Pallavi Daga
1. Will I have a bowel
movement during my delivery?
Dr.Pallavi Daga, one of the best gynecologist in Kolkata,India wants pregnant women to know that birth is not a public performance. So really,
you shouldn't worry about pooping during the pushing phase of labor. It can
happen if your bowel is full because the rectum is underneath the uterus, and
when you push, you put pressure on that area. Still, try to remember that the people
in the delivery room are there to support and help you, and that medical
professionals are cognizant of people's dignity and privacy. So, focus on your
baby, not your bowels.
2.
Will I get stretched out "down there?"
The short answer: no. Your vagina is made to stretch to
accommodate childbirth and then contract back to its normal size. Indeed, your
vagina has muscle memory! Dr.Pallavi Daga recommends doing Kegel exercises to
strengthen those muscles. Basically, you'll clench that area as if you were
holding back a stream of urine, then release. Do these exercises in sets of 10,
four to five times daily postpartum.
3.
Have I gained too much weight?
This can be a touchy subject and one that many pregnant women
shy away from asking at a prenatal appointment. But Rosser says you shouldn't
be afraid to discuss your pregnancy weight
gain with your doctor because this is an important aspect of
both your health and the baby's.
4.
I've heard I won't be able to control my bladder after pregnancy. Is this
true?
Usually within six weeks to three months, women will see
those effects reverse. Guess what? Kegel exercises help here, too. Sometimes there is an
ongoing problem, however, and you should talk to your doctor to find out what
can be done to help.
5.
My husband is afraid to have intercourse while I'm pregnant because he might
hurt the baby. What should I tell him?
Rosser acknowledges that this is a real fear for many partners
of pregnant women. Many times they just need to be reassured that they won't hurt
mom or the baby.
6.
Why is intercourse more painful after giving birth?
"You did have a baby, and there's some trauma that needs to
heal," Gilberg-Lenz says. For women who are breastfeeding, hormone levels change, too,
especially estrogen, which may lead to problems with lubrication. Try using a
lubricant during intercourse and giving your body time to adjust to sex after baby. If
several months go by and you don't notice an improvement, speak to your doctor.
7.
Is it normal to have so much discharge during pregnancy?
Yes. As Dr.Pallavi Daga points out, a pregnant woman's hormones are
going crazy. Plus, you have an increase in the blood flow to the pelvis. You
will likely notice a steady increase in discharge as your pregnancy progresses.
But be sure to call your doctor if your discharge is painful, burning, itching,
has an odor or is very watery. You may have an infection, or your water may
have broken.
8.
I have bad gas and indigestion while pregnant. Is this normal?
"The hormonal changes in pregnancy decrease the efficiency
of your gastrointestinal system," Dr.Pallavi Daga says. Your discomfort may
start with nausea, aka morning sickness, and
bloating. As many as 85 percent of women experience these symptoms in early
pregnancy. This can graduate into acid reflux and indigestion later, which is
completely normal.
9.
What can I do to ease my digestion issues?
"For constipation, make sure to eat plenty of fiber,
veggies, fruits and drink lots of water. If needed, you can take milk of
magnesia or a stool softener," Rosser says. "For heartburn,
eating smaller and more frequent meals will help, as will sleeping upright on
two pillows. Avoid acidic and spicy foods.
If the trouble continues, speak with your physician, who may suggest taking a
medication with calcium carbonate."
10.
What if I sleep through labor?
"It is possible not to
know if you break your water. It can be as small as a little trickle or a huge
gush! Many women think they be leaking urine," Dr.Pallavi Daga says. If you aren't
sure, call your doctor. But when it comes to contractions during
active labor, there will be no mistaking it! They don't call it labor for
nothing!
