Brief Answer:
Health advices given
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXXXXX I'm good and hope for the same for you too.
Now her stage of pregnancy has reached a point where delivery can occur anytime so stay prepared in every way.
Ask her to take a light walk daily for at least twenty minutes and of course as much rest as possible and to lie down on one side preferably on left side.
Lying down in left lateral position increases the blood flow to the baby.
In foods she should take small frequent meals as she will not be able to tolerate large meals at one time.
Take a lot of water daily and fruit juices especially cranberry juice if she likes it.
Almonds and walnuts are very good so should be taken daily.
Over and above everything else she needs a lot of care from your side and a motherly love from a XXXXXXX lady of the house who will take care of her small needs daily.
Do visit her gynecologist weekly now and follow all the instructions and medicines prescribed.
Wish you a healthy baby soon.
Take care.
