Patient's question:
The umbilical vessels are permanently on the right side. I am 30 weeks pregnant. Will this affect the child's future life? Should rest primarily be based on the left side? I take 2 calcium pills daily, and I have severe calf muscle cramps at night. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Is it a permanent right-sided condition? The fetus can move inside the uterus. Lying on the left side can appropriately weaken and reduce the right rotation of the uterus, reduce the pressure of the uterus on the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, stabilize blood circulation, enhance blood supply to the fetus, and help fetal growth and development. At 35, as a high-risk pregnant woman, experiencing calf cramps again indicates a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to take calcium supplements. If the calcium supplement does not contain vitamin D, it is necessary to take appropriate vitamin D supplements, get more sun exposure, pay attention to leg warmth, and rest well. Maintain a diverse diet.
