Patient's question:
There are white scaly patches on my calves for several days now. Applying some medication makes them go down, but without medication, they reappear after some time. Sometimes they itch, and sometimes they don't. This is psoriasis. I'm about to go into labor, how can I help with a natural labor induction?Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to control your diet appropriately during pregnancy. Avoid excessive weight gain to prevent the risk of having a macrosomic baby. The heavier the fetus, the higher the probability of difficult labor. It is recommended to keep the baby's weight around 6 to 7 pounds throughout the pregnancy, which is beneficial for delivery.Second, it is advisable to engage in appropriate physical activity during pregnancy. Maintaining a moderate level of activity helps control weight gain and also aids in the baby's engagement, increasing the likelihood of a natural birth.
