Dear Doctor,
Thanks for your reply.

Few more queries..

1. She is complaining of a slight pain in legs for past 1-2 days. Is this normal in 11th week?

2. She is also complaining of slight pain in lower abdomen (below belly) today. Is this normal or she has to take any precaution?

Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Non specific pains are common in pregnancy.
But are usually episodic but in case associated with bleeding or excessive discharge then medical intervention is mandatory.
Ask her to take a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and at least 2 glasses of milk each day.
In case pain in legs persists then she will need vitamin E and calcium supplements.
Take care
