What is your question?

There is nothing to worry. Increase in breast size is in no way a sign of healthy pregnancy. There are many like you whose breasts don't vary in size but still can breastfeed their baby properly.

Dr Ashish Gupta
Pediatrician
First of all, you must analyze why your baby is crying. There can be many reasons such as gas trouble, lactose intolerance, some kind of allergy or she may be crying for attention. There is no specific answer to your question as far as how much time of crying is normal. But you can definitely minimize it by knowing the exact reason.

Dr Pragnya Mishra

If you are planning to conceive than its a great idea to start taking folic acid supplements. Stop Smoking, consuming alcohol etc. Eat green leafy vegetables, fruits, lean meats, eggs etc. Drink lot of water to keep yourselves hydrated. Secondarily track your menstrual cycle and check for ovulation period. Having intercourse on days closer to ovulation will increase your chances to conceive.

Minimize the intake of coffee. Instead drink a lot of water and keep yourselves hydrated. Take enough amount of sleep and don't stress yourselves. I will suggest you to not take any over the counter medicines as it may affect the fetus.

Sometimes the child's stature depends on genetic factors. If parents have a thin stature, the child also may look the same. Consult your pediatrician to find out the exact cause. In the meanwhile, make sure his diet is healthy, high calorie and balanced. Physical activity is a must for him to remain fit. Pureed food and tasty nutritious smoothies help a lot in putting on weight.

There is nothing to worry about. Everyone's pregnancy experience is different. As long as your gynecologist is not concerned you should not bother. He is the only person you should listen to. Tummy size depends completely on your weight, baby's weight, amount of fluid etc. It has nothing to do with the size of your baby.

Hi Nisha...It is best to talk to your doctor about this. Staying active physically is good during third trimester. But what type of exercises you should be doing completely depends on your current condition. If you have a risk of preterm delivery or have high blood-pressure your doctor may suggest you to lessen or completely stop this activities.

Sometimes it is natural to feel depressed and feel sad over minor issues. Surround yourself with positive people and keep your mind occupied with positive thoughts. Talk to your husband openly about your feelings. You can also talk to your close family or friends. Take a break from the routine and go on a mini vacation with your partner.
