1️⃣ Pain Relievers

Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) – generally safe

Ibuprofen – only in the second and third trimesters, and with doctor’s approval

2️⃣ For Stomach Issues and Constipation

Antacids (Calcium carbonate, Magnesium hydroxide) – to reduce heartburn

Fiber supplements / Bulk-forming laxatives – for constipation

3️⃣ Vitamins and Minerals

Folic Acid – important in early pregnancy for the baby’s brain and spinal cord development

Iron supplements – to prevent anemia

Calcium & Vitamin D – for bone development

4️⃣ Antibiotics (if deemed necessary by a doctor)

Penicillin / Amoxicillin – safe for some bacterial infections

Erythromycin – certain safe options

5️⃣ For Other Medical Conditions

Medications for blood pressure, diabetes, or other health issues – only under doctor’s prescription

⚠️ Important:

Do not take any medicine without your doctor’s advice.

Why are many medicines avoided during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, many medicines are avoided because they can affect both the mother and the unborn baby (fetus).

Key reasons 👇

1️⃣ Medicines can reach the baby

Many medicines cross the placenta and reach the fetus, which can:

Affect the normal development of fetal organs

Cause physical or mental abnormalities

2️⃣ Risk of fetal harm

Some medicines may:

Cause miscarriage

Lead to the birth of a baby with congenital abnormalities

Restrict fetal growth

3️⃣ The first trimester is very sensitive

During this period:

The baby’s heart, brain, limbs, and other organs are forming

Even small drug exposure can cause serious harm

4️⃣ Not all medicines are well studied

Many medicines:

Have not been adequately tested in pregnant women

Therefore, their safety is unknown

5️⃣ Only certain medicines are allowed

Some medicines are considered necessary and safe, but:

Only under a doctor’s supervision

In the correct dose

⚠️ Important advice:
A pregnant woman should:

Never take any medicine without medical advice

This includes painkillers, antibiotics, and herbal medicines

🫀 What is CPR?

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an emergency life-saving procedure performed when a person’s:

❤️ Heart stops beating
😮‍💨 Or they stop breathing

This action temporarily restores blood and oxygen flow to the heart and brain until professional medical help arrives.

🚨 When should CPR be performed?

Start CPR if the person:

Is unconscious

Is not breathing or has abnormal breathing

Has no detectable pulse

🧍 CPR for an Adult

1️⃣ Check safety
Make sure the area is safe for you and the victim.

2️⃣ Check responsiveness
Call out loudly and shake the shoulders.

3️⃣ Call for emergency help
Call the ambulance/emergency number.

4️⃣ Chest Compressions

Place your hands in the center of the chest

Compression depth: 5–6 cm

Rate: 100–120 compressions per minute

5️⃣ Rescue Breaths (if trained)

30 compressions → 2 breaths

If you are not trained, continue hands-only CPR

👶 CPR for a Child / Infant

Use gentler compressions

Depth: 1/3 of the chest

Ratio:

30:2 if you are alone

15:2 if two rescuers are present

⚠️ Important Points

If in doubt, start CPR

Broken ribs are secondary — life comes first

Continue CPR until:

Professional help arrives

The person starts breathing

You become exhausted

🧠 Remember

> Early CPR can increase survival chances by 2–3 times

THE NORMAL CERVIX Vs CERVICITIS

✅ Normal Cervix:
A healthy cervix is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus, usually about 3–4 cm in length. It feels firm, smooth, and rubber-like on examination.

✅ It is made of strong fibrous tissue with a collagen-rich structure. During labor, it can soften and open widely, then later return close to its normal form.

✅ The surface of the cervix is lined by two types of epithelial cells: squamous cells covering the outer part (ectocervix) and glandular cells lining the inner canal (endocervix)
