🤰 “I Had a Fall During Pregnancy – Should I Be Worried?”

Dr. Seetha Ramamurthy Pal, Consultant – Fetal Medicine at IFM Kolkata, addresses a common concern many expectant mothers face: What to do after a fall during pregnancy?

Most mild or accidental falls do not harm the baby because the fetus is well-cushioned inside the uterus by layers of amniotic fluid, the uterus, abdominal muscles, and pelvic bones. However, in case of a direct fall on the belly or if you experience symptoms like:

🔸 Pain after the fall
🔸 Vaginal bleeding or discharge
🔸 Decreased fetal movements

…it is essential to seek immediate medical advice.

👉 Don’t panic — just stay informed and consult your doctor if anything feels off.

🧬 Carrier Screening Before Pregnancy: Why It Matters for Your Baby’s Health

🎙️ Dr. Emili Banerjee, Genetic Counselor at Institute of Fetal Medicine (IFM), Kolkata, explains why genetic carrier screening is crucial—even if both partners are healthy and unrelated.

🔍 Key Highlights:

✅ Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA): A simple test can identify if you're a carrier of the SMN1 gene. Screening one partner is essential to reduce risk.
✅ Thalassemia: Common in many Indian communities. Couples should be screened to avoid passing severe anemia to their child.
✅ Fragile X Syndrome: Especially important if there’s a family history of autism, intellectual disability, or behavioral concerns. Women may carry a premutation in the FMR1 gene.
✅ Endogamy Risk: In India, marriages often occur within the same community, unknowingly increasing the chance of shared genetic mutations—even without blood relation.

👶 Planning a healthy pregnancy begins with awareness and action. Carrier screening helps ensure your baby is born free of serious inherited conditions.
