Brief Answer:
These medicines are needed during pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
1. The medicines that have been prescribed to you are to prevent early miscarriage. These are commonly used in pregnancy and are well tolerated. Cabgolin will help in correcting the hormonal imbalance due to PCOD.
2. Metital needs to be stopped as it is not needed during pregnancy. The treatment of PCOD may be needed when you want to plan another baby.
3. If there is no complications like bleeding or pain in lower abdomen or excessive vomiting and all goes well then you can safely travel.
4. You need a healthy diet with plenty of fluids. Avoid spicy and fatty foods. Do take small meals at regular intervals.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks for your reply. I have few more questions regarding this.
1) I have quite severe lower abdominal pain and hip pain sometimes and feel better when I sit or lying down. What could be the reason doctor? Is it dangerous or showing any other symptom or is it common?
2) also I have sometimes periods feeling,I don't know why ?
3) can I do my regular works like going for a walk ( I usually go for 30mins walk daily) and regular household works or do I need a complete bed rest?
4) also I have discharge from my vagina in yellow color for past 10days whenever I urinate which was in white color before
5) do I have to take take any more medicines for my abdominal pain?
6) can u specify me what kind of foods I have to take and what not to take at this time ? I am vegetarian but eat egg sometimes ? So can I take boiled eggs every day for to get more protein?
Since I'm living in non English speaking country I need your guidance and support regarding this doctor.

Brief Answer:
Details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
1. Lower abdominal pain can be due to many reasons. Do get an ultrasound scan done and a routine urine test to rule out a urinary infection.
2. The periods feeling can be due to uterine contractions. It is normal.
3. You can continue with walks and regular household work.
4. A yellow color discharge indicates infection. A vaginal swab culture will help in diagnosis and it needs to be treated.
5. Do get the cause of pain diagnosed after consulting your gynecologist for proper treatment.
6. You can take boiled eggs. As far as diet is concerned you can have egg and dry fruits but try to avoid spicy food and take less salt.Green leafy vegetables , fresh fruits , whole grains , pulses should be taken more often.Eat frequent but small meals.If you feel nausea doctor will give you doxylamine tablets.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
