Hi, my wife is currently 2 months pregnant. Is there a specific set of physical activities that are restricted during pregnancy due to the potential risk of serious injury, and if so, what are they?

Hello,

Some activities like contact sports like basketball and volleyball should be avoided in the first trimester.
Exercising in hot weather and hot water(hot yoga) also should be avoided.

Any activity that has a lot of jerky, bouncing movements that may cause the pregnant woman to fall should be avoided, and any sport in which you can get hit in the belly.

Thank you.

Varicose veins pelvic congestion

Hi Doctor and team, My wife is experiencing varicose veins that extend from her leg to her thigh, as well as reaching her pelvic area. We suspect that the veins in the pelvic area might be causing pelvic congestion, leading to back and belly pain. Just wondering, is it a day or overnight if we want to get rid of the varicose vein? and how much it will cost, we are overseas (INA), Once we have this information, we will proceed with organizing everything and contact for an appointment.
