Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Molar Pregnancy

Being pregnant is a wonderful feeling. During these 9 months, you might spend a lot of time thinking about your baby. Whether your baby will be a girl or a boy, will he/she be healthy, will you have a safe delivery, all these questions might be in your mind right now. You must be taking good care of your health and eating healthy food for the benefit of you and your baby.

But some situations cannot be in your control. There can be some complications that you don't know about or that you cannot avoid. In such cases, you might feel helpless, as you may not know what is happening. One such complication is molar pregnancy.

After reading this blog, you will have a better understanding of molar pregnancy, its causes, symptoms and treatment.

What is molar pregnancy?

You might already be knowing about the placenta. The placenta is a tissue that forms in the womb after fertilization. It supplies food and oxygen from your blood to your baby.

If the placenta does not form properly during pregnancy, it leads to molar pregnancy. In these cases, abnormal tissue or tumour gets formed instead of the placenta, because of which your baby may not get enough food and oxygen. This tumour is called as a hydatidiform mole.

Molar pregnancy happens at the time of fertilization itself, but can only be detected after the tissue or tumour becomes bigger.

What causes molar pregnancy?

The fertilized egg should have 23 pairs of chromosomes - one set from the mother, and the other set from the father. Chromosomes carry information about the body's functioning.

Because of some complications during fertilization, it may sometimes happen that an extra set of chromosomes comes from the father. This leads to molar pregnancy.

Molar pregnancy is of 2 types: partial molar pregnancy and complete molar pregnancy.

What is complete molar pregnancy?

During fertilization, if the chromosomes of the egg are lost or harmed, chromosomes from the sperm might get copied. In these cases, there will be 2 sets of chromosomes from the father. This leads to a complete molar pregnancy. There will be no embryo in the womb. Only the hydatidiform mole grows instead of the placenta.

What is partial molar pregnancy?

During fertilization, if 2 sperms fertilize the egg, the chromosomes of the sperm might get copied. In these cases, there will be 2 sets of chromosomes from the father and only 1 set from the mother. This leads to a partial molar pregnancy. Both the hydatidiform mole and the embryo grow abnormally. The embryo does not get enough food and oxygen, and will not survive.

Both these cases are dangerous, but you can still avoid any harm to yourself by going for regular checkups. Molar pregnancy can be detected during ultrasound scans. So go to your doctor regularly so that any complications can be found out as early as possible.

Anemia In Pregnancy

Women go through a lot of complications during pregnancy. The many changes in their body can cause problems such as diabetes, constipation, morning sickness and headaches. One of the most common complications among Indian women is anemia in pregnancy.

If you have any worries about having anemia during pregnancy, or if your doctor has already informed you that you have anemia, don't be scared. With the right food habits, you can easily overcome this.

Read this blog to understand more about anemia in pregnancy. We have also listed some healthy food habits that you can follow to keep anemia in pregnancy away.

What is anemia?

The blood in your body is made up of red blood cells, which has a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from your lungs to the other parts of your body.

If the hemoglobin or red blood cell count reduces in your blood, your body parts will not get enough oxygen. This condition is called anemia.

What causes anemia in pregnancy?

During pregnancy, your baby gets all the necessary food and nutrients from your blood. The placenta absorbs the nutrients from your blood to feed your baby. This can cause a decrease in hemoglobin in your blood. If your daily food intake does not have enough nutrients, the hemoglobin in your blood does not get replaced, causing anemia in pregnancy.

Too much blood loss from vaginal bleeding or bleeding from wounds or cuts during your pregnancy can also cause loss of blood cells, leading to anemia in pregnancy.

In general, anemia in pregnancy is caused by less iron, folate or vitamin B12 in your body.

The 9 months of pregnancy are very precious. During these months, you will share a special bond with your baby. You might notice that you are thinking about your baby at every moment. What is your baby doing? Is your baby getting enough food? Is he/she growing properly? Will he/she be healthy?

At these times, you should know that your food and lifestyle is very important for your baby's growth. You should eat healthy food and lead an active lifestyle so that your baby is born healthy and without any complications.

One of the most important vitamins that your baby needs for growing well is folic acid. In this blog, you can learn about folic acid, why you need folic acid in pregnancy, its benefits, risks of low folic acid and the foods that are rich in folic acid.

What is folic acid?

Blood transports oxygen and energy to all parts of the body. With less blood, your organs won't be able to function properly. To produce blood, your body needs vitamin B9.

We get vitamin B9 in the form of folates in our food. If your diet does not include enough folates, doctors usually prescribe folic acid tablets. Folic acid is a good source of folates.

Why do you need folic acid in pregnancy?

In pregnancy, you are eating food for yourself and your baby. Whatever you eat should have the right nutrients that are required for your baby's growth. Folic acid is very important for the development of your baby's brain, spine and nervous system. So, you need to have more folic acid in pregnancy.

As you sit on your sofa comfortably appreciating your growing baby bump, you feel heaviness in your leg. The heaviness is accompanied by pain, cramps & swelling that consistently gets worse throughout the day, this is generally referred to as pregnancy leg pain. Leg pain during pregnancy is fairly common, especially during your second/ third trimester. But it can hinder your daily life activities.

Growing baby bump puts extra stress on the leg muscles.

As the pregnancy leg pain grows day by day, you may decide to visit your doctor to find a safe and effective solution. Your doctor advises you against over-the-counter medications; i.e., Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen.

Word of caution:

If you experience vaginal bleeding, dizziness, headaches, preterm labour or amniotic fluid leak accompanying the leg pain immediately visit your doctor.

WHAT IS NIPPLE PAIN?

Nipple pain is the tenderness and soreness that you might experience while you start breastfeeding. You may experience pain around your nipples towards the last trimester of pregnancy because of hormonal changes and when your breast becomes fuller. Although this is normal, at times the pain may become severe due to;

→Poor latching of the baby →Improper usage of a breast pump  →Infection due to hardened milk →Tight and unsupportive bras →Baby bites during breastfeeding

HOW TO GET RID OF SORE NIPPLES?

There are two ways to deal with nipple soreness and breast pain. The first one would be preventing this uneasiness before it starts, this happens only by maintaining a proper breast care routine during pregnancy. The second way is by reducing the existing pain. To prevent or reduce this nipple discomfort, using nipple buttercream is the best option. Natural nipple butter has paved its way in giving all the smoothness and comfort to your breasts and pampers the skin at all times.

Physical properties

Chemical properties

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

→ The fresh and mild aroma flavour that is not overpoweringly coconutty is the most important  factor of organic coconut oil. → Organic coconut oil is evenly and easily absorbed by the skin. Rubbing a small amount of coconut oil and if it gets absorbed instantly, then it is considered the purest form of the oil. → The solidified virgin coconut oil when warmed back to room temperature should liquefy and sediments if any should completely disappear.

       2. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:

→ The cold-pressed coconut oil must have all the nutrients, vitamins and natural antioxidants. →There should be very less free fatty acids. This is an indication of deterioration of the oil → If the coconuts used are not fresh, and the fermentation during processing is tough opting for a non-hygienic process of extracting the free fatty acids will increase in number.

When will you start seeing the signs of pregnancy?

The first week of your pregnancy is decided based on the date of the last day of your last menstrual period (LMP). You may start seeing the first signs of pregnancy in the first week after your period ends, or you may see the signs 2-3 weeks later.

Below are some commons signs of pregnancy that you might notice:

1.Your period is late

Delay in period is the most common sign of pregnancy. But it is not necessary that a delayed period is because of pregnancy. You can consult a doctor to know more.

2.You might notice a vaginal discharge or have stomach cramping

When the fertilised egg attaches to the wall of the uterus, a little bleeding is expected. It is quite common to confuse this bleeding with period. This is actually called spotting and usually happens 2-4 weeks after fertilisation. During this time, you could also get stomach pain or cramps which might feel similar to menstrual cramps. It is OK if this has not happened to you, as it may not happen to all women.

3.You might be having morning sickness or vomiting

Vomiting is a common sign of pregnancy. Even though this is called “Morning Sickness”, it can happen to you at any time during the day. This usually ends after the first trimester of pregnancy, but can sometimes continue throughout the 9 months.

4.You might feel breast pain or soreness in the breasts

4-6 weeks into your pregnancy, you might feel pain, soreness or heaviness in your breasts. These changes happen due to the changing levels of progesterone and estrogen hormones in your body. You can wear a comfortable bra for some relief.

5.You might notice a change in breast colour

The colour of your nipples and breasts may darken. This happens because of the change in estrogen hormone in your body. This change is usually noticeable in the 11th - 12th week of your pregnancy. It may not happen to all women, so don’t worry if it does not happen to you.

6.You might be having mood swings

It is normal to have times when you feel too sad or too happy. But sometimes, your emotions might get unpredictable. You might be happy at one minute and then start crying in the next minute. This happens because of the changes in hormones in your body. This may not mean that you are pregnant, so it is advisable to take a pregnancy test for confirmation.

7.You might have a headache

A frequent headache is a common sign of pregnancy. Again, a headache can be caused due to other reasons. So it is advisable to consult a doctor or take a pregnancy test for confirmation.

8.You might feel tired throughout the day

In the early stages of pregnancy, there is an increase in the level of progesterone hormones. Along with this, your body prepares itself for the growing baby. These changes might increase your blood pressure, which can make you feel tired. You might feel more tired in the beginning and towards the end of your pregnancy.

9.You might notice that your stomach has become bigger

Because of the increase in progesterone levels, your digestive system becomes slow. The food you eat stays in your stomach for a longer time, which can lead to stomach growth and weight gain. This usually starts 4-6 weeks after you get pregnant. Many women confuse this growth in the stomach with the baby growing bigger, which is not correct.

10.You might have a fever or high body temperature

Body temperature usually increases around the time of your period. But if the high temperature continues for 10-18 days after your delayed period date, it can be a sign of pregnancy. Your body temperature generally rises in the 6th week of pregnancy.

11.You might have some unusual food cravings

One of the common signs of pregnancy is that you might want to eat certain special items like raw mangoes, tamarind, guavas or ice cream. This usually happens 3 months after the start of pregnancy.

Due to the decrease of iron and some other minerals in the body, some women even feel like eating mud or coal. This is commonly known as PICA syndrome. Do NOT eat things like mud, coal or anything else that can harm you or your baby. Contact your doctor if you have these urges. Take special care of your diet and eat foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals.
