Pregnancy after 35 may come with a few additional risks, but age alone does not define your pregnancy.

From chromosomal abnormalities and gestational diabetes to high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia, some risks become more likely with increasing maternal age. The good news is that timely screening, regular monitoring and appropriate antenatal care can make a significant difference.

Because 35 is not a deadline. With the right care, many women go on to have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.

“I feel so tired all the time… but my family thinks I’m just being lazy.”

Pregnancy fatigue is real.

Your body is working constantly to create and support a new life. Especially during the first trimester, hormonal changes, increased blood volume and your baby’s rapid development can leave you feeling tired, sleepy and low on energy.

But not every kind of fatigue should be ignored. If tiredness is accompanied by breathlessness, a very fast heartbeat, excessive sweating, severe headache, blurred vision, dizziness or fainting, it is important to consult your doctor.

Pregnancy fatigue is not laziness. Sometimes, your body is simply asking you to slow down and take care of yourself.

How Many Ultrasounds Are Necessary During Pregnancy? And When Should They Be Done?

Every ultrasound during pregnancy has its own specific purpose. Let's learn about the four important ultrasounds generally recommended during pregnancy:

Dating Scan – to check the location of the pregnancy, heartbeat, and early complications.

NT-NB Scan – between 11-14 weeks, for risk assessment of chromosomal abnormalities.

Anomaly Scan / TIFFA – between 18-20 weeks, to evaluate the baby's organs and development head-to-toe.

Growth Scan – around 30-32 weeks, to assess the baby's growth, position, placenta, and amniotic fluid.

If there is any complication, growth concern, or abnormal finding during the pregnancy, the doctor may also advise additional growth scans or a Doppler scan.

Every pregnancy is different. Always follow your obstetrician's advice regarding the timing and frequency of scans.

Don’t want to take a contraceptive pill every day?

Implanon could be an option worth discussing with your gynaecologist.

Implanon is a small, flexible implant placed under the skin of the upper arm that provides long-acting, reversible contraception for up to 3 years.

No daily pill. No daily reminders. And when you’re ready to plan a pregnancy, it can be removed.

However, your periods may change - irregular bleeding, spotting, lighter or heavier periods, or even no periods can occur.

Contraception is not one-size-fits-all. Your doctor can help you choose what is safest and most suitable for your body, health and future pregnancy plans.

Pregnancy positive…but spotting has started. Should you be worried?

Spotting in early pregnancy can be frightening, but not every instance of bleeding means miscarriage.

It's important to understand the difference between mild spotting and warning signs that need immediate medical attention.

Light brown or mild spotting can sometimes occur due to implantation or increased blood supply to the cervix. However, heavy bleeding, clots, severe abdominal pain, fever or foul-smelling discharge should never be ignored.

Early pregnancy deserves attention, not panic. If you notice bleeding, inform your obstetrician and get yourself evaluated.

A little spotting may not mean something is wrong, but it always deserves the right medical advice.

High BP in pregnancy is not something to ignore.

In pregnancy, even a few numbers can make a big difference. Elevated blood pressure after 20 weeks can indicate a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and, when associated with other complications, may progress to preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia can affect both mother and baby, which is why regular BP checks, blood tests, ultrasound and Doppler monitoring are so important.

The right diagnosis, timely treatment and close monitoring can make all the difference.

Never ignore high BP during pregnancy. Always consult your obstetrician.

PCOS is now PMOS. But what does that actually mean?

For years, the name PCOS, Polycystic O***y Syndrome, has made many women believe that the condition is simply about having “cysts” in the ovaries.

But PCOS is far more complex.
It can involve hormonal imbalance, irregular ovulation, metabolic health, weight, insulin resistance, fertility, skin and hair changes, and mental wellbeing. Also, the small follicles seen on an ultrasound are not necessarily ovarian cysts.

The shift from PCOS to PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, aims to reflect this broader understanding of the condition.
And if you have already been diagnosed with PCOS, don't panic. You haven't suddenly developed a new disease. The terminology is evolving as our understanding evolves.

The important thing is to look beyond the ovaries and take care of your overall hormonal, metabolic and reproductive health.

"My pregnancy test is positive. My family says I should wait three months before seeing a doctor. Is that right?"

This is one of the most common myths surrounding early pregnancy.

The first trimester is the most crucial phase of pregnancy. As soon as your pregnancy test is positive, schedule your first antenatal visit. An early ultrasound is important to confirm that the pregnancy is inside the uterus, determine the baby's growth and rule out conditions like ectopic pregnancy, which require immediate medical attention.

Your doctor will also recommend essential blood tests to check your hemoglobin, thyroid function and overall health, and start folic acid, which is vital for your baby's brain and spinal cord development. Delaying these steps can mean missing the opportunity to prevent certain birth defects.

Another common misconception is that pregnant women should avoid all household work. In a normal pregnancy, gentle daily activities are not only safe but beneficial. Unless your doctor has advised otherwise, staying active is encouraged. Prolonged bed rest without a medical reason can actually worsen problems like constipation, acidity and nausea.

Don't let myths delay the care that you and your baby deserve.

"The red iron tablet is causing acidity, gas and constipation. Can I stop taking it?"

This is one of the most common concerns during pregnancy.
Iron supplements are essential because they help prevent and treat anemia, a condition that can affect both the mother's health and the baby's growth. During pregnancy, hemoglobin levels need to be maintained adequately to support the increased demands of both mother and baby.

The challenge is that iron tablets can sometimes cause:
- Acidity and stomach irritation
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Black-colored stools

The good news? These side effects do not mean you should stop iron on your own.
Simple measures such as taking iron after a light meal, combining it with Vitamin C-rich foods like lemon water or citrus fruits, staying well hydrated and increasing fresh fruits in your diet can often make iron much easier to tolerate.
If one brand of iron causes discomfort, your doctor may switch to a different formulation. In some cases, when oral iron is not tolerated or hemoglobin remains low, IV iron therapy may be recommended.

Remember: black stools after taking iron are usually normal and simply indicate that the supplement is being processed by the body.
The goal is not just treating today's hemoglobin level, but ensuring a safer pregnancy and delivery for both mother and baby.
