What Causes Weight Loss During 20th Week Of Pregnancy?
Question: My EDD is 13/7 and currently I have completed 20 weeks.
I am writing for two troubles:
1) Weight has reduced 2 kgs and perhaps not increased so far compared to pre pregnancy state. Is it normal ? What should I do to ensure well being of my child?
2)I have severe swelling of gums. I am unable to open my mouth fully and cannot eat on the side where the gums have swollen. I am taking Novamox 500 mg thrice daily from 2 days and had my mouth cleaned. Doc says its an hormonal issue which is triggering the infection. Please let me know what else I can do to improve my health condition.
