Is Poor Foetal Growth During 8th Week Of Pregnancy A Cause For Concern?

I am in my 8th week of pregnancy.I have been given Duvadilan retard 40 mg 2 times daily due to my previous history of miscarriage.I had a miscarriage at 17th week when the fetus was only showing 10 weeks one and a half years back.I am concerned regarding the negative impacts this medicine might have on the current fetus.At present the growth delay is 5 days as per ultrasound scans.Any suggestions and information regarding the safety of use of this medicine is highly appreciated.

Hi, I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Sorry to know about your previous pregnancy loss.
Duvadilan is a drug for uterine relaxation. It has no effect on growth and support to pregnancy.

I will suggest you to indulge in a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits, salads and vegetables in the diet.

Use of oral or vaginal tablets of micronized progesterone and Injection HCG 5000 I U once a week till 14 weeks of the pregnancy is shown to have beneficial effects on the baby growth. Please start on these medicines with your doctor's consultation.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
