Hi Deepika, during pregnancy your body undergoes may changes. It is preparing for a child growth and delivery. Your body is releasing progesterone hormone which makes you breathe deep and prepare your lungs to inhale large amount of oxygen. Breathing may become difficult as your uterus is growing and taking more space in belly putting additional pressure on your diaphragm a muscle below lungs.Take following precautions;•Lift your arms up which will lift your rib cage, take off some pressure and allow you to breathe easily.•Don’t walk or exercise extensively. Be moderate.•While sleeping keep a pillow underneath your upper body.•Keep your head elevated.•Try yoga and pranayama.Please refer to the doctor if breathing difficulty is sever and painful. Good luck!!

My kid urinate daily in the night

Rajiv Sinha

Hi Nisha, First and foremost don’t blame the victim. Trust me your son is as frustrated as you are because of this problem. Rather the poor child may hate himself for doing so. Be patient and kind with him as scolding or physical punishment will just add up to the problem. Please understand this is the most common problem in children below 5 years. Most children outgrow it and stop urinating in bed after a while. If your son is below five years then he will definitely stop eventually.You can try following to make things better.•Decide a certain bedtime•Try to set bathroom routine around it•Put up an alarm during nights for a bathroom break.•Check whether he is constipated as full rectum puts pressure on bladder reducing its capacity to hold urine.•Try using water proof mattress•Sometimes family stress or difficulties in school leads to this problem•Take the advice of pediatrician or counselor•Try giving him herbs like ashwagandha and bramhi for mental alertness.Help your child, be affectionate and he will overcome it. Good Luck!!

Hi Sweety, you have quite an amusing problem. Many kids don’t eat properly no matter how you and where you feed them. Nevertheless, your daughter might have developed this habit because of you pointing out towards Television. You should gradually stop by taking her out somewhere to feed like park or balcony. Try avoiding any electrical gadget to engage her in future while eating. Sing to her if she is fascinated by sounds. Try playing a song in background instead to soothe her. I would suggest start telling stories to her while eating, indulge her by asking questions about story and its characters.Good luck!!

Hi Sana, sometimes no matter how hard we try kids don’t behave in a manner we want them to. This may be outcome of so many different aspects. Kids adhere to rebellious behavior to gain attention. Be affectionate with him. Listen to him carefully. You trying to discipline him, which is necessary; but it’s not helping rather making the situation adverse. Take a break !!! For a while stop telling or advising your son anything. Let him see the outcome of his indiscipline behavior. Once he faces it, calmly explain about the other way of approaching the situation. Cause and consequence theory will work for sure and the change in his behavior if any will be willing and perpetual. If the things don’t improve over period of time, please consult a counselor.Observe his attention span and anxiety levels if he is restless and frequently changes the positions, please get him tested for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)P.S.:- Don’t make any comparisons with her siblings or friends. Appreciate any slight improvement in his behavior generously by kind words and physical affection. Good Luck!!!

Priti Rao

Dear Nisha, though swelling legs during pregnancy is a common occurrence, it is the fairly uncomfortable situation to be in. Your body tends to retain more fluids which lead to swelling. Growing pressure of uterus also makes blood flow to the heart slow.Please keep in mind following things to reduce the swelling in legs.•Limit your sodium intake.•Sleep on left side•Keep your feet elevated whenever possible•Drink plenty of water•Take potassium rich foods like banana, sweet potatoes, kidney beans.•Avoid highly salty, sugary processed foods.•Avoid standing position for long duration of time.•Eat balanced diet.•Avoid tight body hugging cloths specially on legs.Hope this helps, good luck!!
