FunTranscript
00:00This morning in Pinoy MD, the doctors and nurses you trusted visited a market in Quezon City to give free prenatal check-ups to pregnant women.
00:15Not all pregnant women can get a check-up.
00:21That's why it's important for us to have this opportunity to reach pregnant women.
00:27And our obstetrician-gynecologist will clarify the beliefs and expectations when it comes to getting a check-up.
00:34I would like to ask, I love mathematics. That's my favorite subject when I get a check-up.
00:41Will it affect my pregnancy?
00:43Now that it's Road Safety Month, what should we remember when we're on the road?
00:49And the 90s rides from the 70s to the 90s are more beautiful now and there are new attractions.
00:59I'm so happy!
01:01The most important thing they get from the rides is that they're amused, they're having fun, but at the same time, they're also meeting other people.
01:11When it comes to health, it should always be updated. That's why we'll be bringing you the latest health updates this month of May.
01:20Accidents and accidents.
01:25Car crashes.
01:28Innocent people get injured.
01:31And sometimes, they even go home to their loved ones.
01:34Road accidents can be avoided.
01:41That's what the Department of Health is reminding us of this Road Safety Month.
01:46In the Philippines, according to the Department of Transportation,
01:49it's estimated that 12,000 people die every year because of road accidents.
01:55That's why drive safely, fellow citizens.
01:58Follow the speed limit and traffic laws.
02:01Follow the speed limit and traffic laws.
02:04And wear the right safety gears.
02:08Good news, fellow citizens!
02:0930% of all members of PhilHealth benefit from heat-related diseases, such as heat stroke.
02:22According to PhilHealth,
02:23from Php 6,500 to Php 8,450 for heat-related illnesses,
02:33including hospital charges and professional fees of doctors.
02:38PhilHealth is reminding you to make sure that the hospitals you're going to are accredited or partnered with the agency.
02:46Let's talk about other health updates.
02:48To our grandparents, grandmothers, mothers, and fathers out there,
02:52when was the last time you had your blood pressure checked?
02:56We should regularly monitor our BP, fellow citizens.
03:02Know your numbers!
03:03That's what the Department of Health is reminding us of this Hypertension Awareness Month.
03:08According to the Philippine Heart Association,
03:10a person's normal blood pressure is 120 over 80.
03:14This is the ideal BP of a person to avoid heart disease or stroke.
03:20If the BP rises to 120 over 80, it is possible to have hypertension.
03:27That's why the experts are reminding us to monitor our blood pressure
03:31and make sure that our blood sugar and cholesterol levels are controlled to avoid hypertension.
03:38And those are our latest health updates for this month.
03:41Always remember, fellow citizens,
03:42as long as we're talking about health, you should be updated.
03:47This morning, our resident obstetrician gynecologist, Dr. Q,
03:51visited us to answer the questions of our fellow citizens about their pregnancy.
03:57Good morning to Dr. Q.
03:59Good morning, Doc!
04:01What did our fellow citizens consult about?
04:04For example, Connie, we have another colleague here.
04:07This is Mommy Sensen.
04:08Mommy, can you introduce yourself?
04:11Hi, I'm Sensen Achas, 31 years old.
04:15This is my third pregnancy and I'm 5 months pregnant.
04:19And why are you here, Mommy Sensen?
04:22I would like to ask, Doc.
04:24I like sweets.
04:25That's my craving since I was pregnant.
04:29Will this affect my pregnancy?
04:31How many months pregnant are you now?
04:335 months.
04:34Mommy Sensen is 5 months.
04:35She has a craving for sweets.
04:38Actually, cravings are what we want to eat every day.
04:44It's normal for pregnancy.
04:46But the problem with Mommy Sensen is that she wants to eat sweet food.
04:51In your family history, Mommy Sensen, you have a history of diabetes.
04:56You told me earlier that your mom has diabetes.
05:00So it doesn't seem advisable for you to eat sweets every day
05:05or to eat more sweets during the course of your pregnancy.
05:10So we need to reduce your sugar intake
05:16and to eat sweets in moderation.
05:21And you also need to check your blood sugar.
05:24Did you check your blood sugar?
05:26It's normal?
05:27Okay.
05:28But that doesn't mean that you won't have what we call gestational diabetes mellitus.
05:33It's when a woman's blood sugar rises when she's pregnant.
05:38And this can happen to you because you have a family history of diabetes.
05:43So just remember this.
05:53This morning, our mothers are going to give birth.
05:55That's why they're wearing a crown.
05:58There's no need to put up with it.
06:00Maybe this will save you from giving birth.
06:03It's a big thing because we know what we should do,
06:10what's prohibited, and what's good for us.
06:14It's a big help because of our health.
06:17I'm already a five-month-old baby.
06:19That's why I need to always check up.
06:23Mother's Day is not over here in Pinoy MD.
06:26Because this morning, doctors and nurses will visit a barangay in Quezon City
06:32to give free prenatal consultations to our pregnant mothers.
06:39Here in Pinoy MD, you and your health is number one.
06:44We bring you information and health services.
06:48Your blood sugar is 120-170.
06:50So, are you okay?
06:53You should take care of your health.
06:56Good morning, Kapuso!
06:58I'm Nurse Abby, your nurse-in-duty for Pinoy MD.
07:02Together with the doctors of the country,
07:04we're here in Batazan Hills, Quezon City for Pinoy MD Health Watch.
07:09Our mission for today is to ensure that our pregnant mothers are healthy and far from illness.
07:16Because there should be no menses during prenatal consultations.
07:20Because there should be no menses during prenatal consultations.
07:24Who will give us a prenatal check-up here?
07:28Together with the obstetrician-gynecologists, Dr. Raul Quilamor and Dr. Maria Carla Esquivas Chua,
07:35Pinoy MD hired Batazan Hills, Quezon City for another doctors' tour
07:40where doctors from several barangays are visiting.
07:46Not all pregnant women can get a check-up.
07:51That's why it's important for us to have this opportunity to visit pregnant women.
07:59Let's start with a prenatal check-up to ensure the optimal birth outcome.
08:04We need to ensure that the mother and the baby are healthy.
08:08If the baby's BP is high, it's hard for the baby inside.
08:12It doesn't grow properly.
08:15So, those are the things we will monitor.
08:21You're almost nine months.
08:23Every two weeks of the check-up.
08:26It's important that you eat vegetables and drink milk.
08:31Doc U first taught the importance of prenatal check-up.
08:36In prenatal check-up, we also emphasize the importance of nutrition.
08:42You don't need to be rich to eat the right nutrition
08:51to get the right nutrients.
08:53If you're pregnant for just seven weeks, is it safe to drink folic acid?
08:59That's the right time to start taking folic acid.
09:02So, ask for folic acid.
09:04Go to the barangay health center for folic acid.
09:08Does prenatal check-up have an effect on pregnancy?
09:13People say that prenatal check-up results in a baby bump.
09:17That's not true.
09:19There's no such thing.
09:21The baby bump is only in the uterus.
09:24It's not because of prenatal check-up.
09:29It's in the genes.
09:32The prenatal check-up will start on the first six to twelve weeks of pregnancy.
09:38Some complications in prenatal check-up are avoided.
09:43That's why Doc U should monitor the danger signs of prenatal check-up.
09:49When you're doing prenatal check-up, you shouldn't look at your weight.
09:54You should check your blood pressure.
09:57Your weight should be correct.
10:02In order to monitor the signs of prenatal check-up,
10:05the nurse of the town, Nurse Abby, started to check the baby's BP.
10:11The baby's BP is low.
10:14You're 90-60 years old.
10:17This is your third pregnancy.
10:18How many weeks are you expecting?
10:24Six months.
10:31You should also check the development of the uterus, face, and uterus.
10:37Look at the development of the uterus.
10:40The development of the uterus should not be fast,
10:43especially if you have a flat face.
10:48If you contract early,
10:52or if your uterus is hardening,
10:54or if it's painful all the way to the back of the uterus,
10:58you might have a flicker.
11:00That's why you should have a check-up.
11:03Like 19-year-old Abby,
11:06she often has back pain.
11:09When I'm pregnant,
11:11my uterus swells up fast.
11:15My uterus is painful.
11:18It swells up fast when I walk.
11:22Even if her uterus looks small,
11:25after five months, her uterus becomes painful.
11:29I wake up sometimes
11:31because I can't sleep.
11:33I sweat a lot.
11:35I'm just wondering because my chance is small.
11:40Abby went to the doctor twice.
11:43That's why she insisted on this opportunity.
11:48This was given to me with folic acid.
11:51They didn't add anything else.
11:53Because Abby is only five months pregnant,
11:55Doc decided to give her a physical examination.
12:00Does your uterus still move?
12:02Yes.
12:05When did you start to feel it?
12:10Doc also assessed Abby's uterus
12:12and her pregnancy.
12:14What did Doc notice?
12:16Stay tuned.
12:19Let's go back to the barangay.
12:21Doc, I'm sure our pregnant mommies out there have a lot of questions.
12:25So here it is.
12:26Answer it.
12:28This is Connie.
12:29I have a friend here
12:31and I want to introduce her to you.
12:32She's Mommy Josephine.
12:36Hello, I'm Josephine Balmaceda.
12:38I'm 27 years old.
12:40I'm four months pregnant.
12:43Doc, based on my ultrasound last month,
12:47I have placenta previopartialis.
12:50What are the possible causes?
12:53Why does a fetus have this kind of face?
12:56How many months or weeks did you have your ultrasound?
12:5813 weeks.
13:01The finding of placenta previopartialis
13:04or totalis
13:05means that it's only half or part of the placenta
13:08that's covered by the uterus.
13:11If it's totalis, it's completely covered.
13:14It's a normal ultrasound finding in the first trimester of pregnancy.
13:17What you did was 13 weeks.
13:19So you're past the first trimester.
13:22You're about to enter the second trimester.
13:24That's still okay
13:25because we're looking at the movement
13:29or the migration of the placenta.
13:30When the placenta rises inside the uterus,
13:34while the mother is growing,
13:36while the baby is growing,
13:37the uterus is also growing.
13:39The placenta also has a tendency to rise.
13:42That's still okay
13:43as long as you don't have spotting,
13:44no heavy bleeding.
13:45That's still good.
13:47But you will have a serial ultrasound.
13:50That means that during the second trimester,
13:52which is now your pregnancy,
13:55you will have a scan.
13:58When you reach 28 to 32 weeks,
14:03you will check again
14:04if it's still a placenta previa
14:05at 32 weeks,
14:06then it's definitely a placenta previa.
14:09It can't be abnormal.
14:11But at 32 weeks and beyond,
14:13if you have an ultrasound
14:14and the placenta previa is not visible,
14:17you can have a normal delivery.
14:18How many pregnancies do you have?
14:19Second pregnancy.
14:21So you can have a normal delivery
14:23if your placenta has already risen.
14:25Okay, thank you.
14:26Okay.
14:34The last heat this summer,
14:36the place to go to avoid the intense heat,
14:39an indoor park for those who are small
14:42and small at heart.
14:44From the exciting rides,
14:46they also added a trampoline,
14:48billiards,
14:50bowling,
14:52and skating rink
14:53where you can watch.
14:59Kawaii-kawaii to the aunts and uncles of Manila Riad.
15:03Do you still remember this place?
15:05Yes, I remember this place.
15:07When I was young, I was always here.
15:09Here, we used to watch
15:11the Mannequin,
15:12the Odyssey,
15:13during the day.
15:15What our hearts are talking about
15:17is none other than the OG rides
15:20and mini-discs of the aunts and uncles back then.
15:24This is called the Carnival,
15:26a family ride from the 70s to the 90s.
15:30What was popular here at that time
15:33was the crazy rides,
15:35which were the favorite of the kids back then.
15:37But many were sad when it was closed in 2000.
15:41But don't be sad, my friends,
15:43because the carnival you used to go to
15:46is now open again.
15:49And one of the happy people who came back
15:51to visit the Carnival
15:52was Michael,
15:53who was one of the OG rides here back then
15:56with his family and friends.
16:00Maybe it's because that's the only ride
16:02they had back then.
16:03There was also a go-kart on the second floor.
16:06The rides here are a bit more modern.
16:08The rides here are a bit more modern.
16:10So I guess it's okay.
16:13A few decades later,
16:14Michael visited the Carnival again.
16:17But now he's with his wife and kids.
16:23The place has changed a lot
16:25aside from being more modern.
16:27There are also new attractions
16:29like this trampoline park
16:31which is only 1,258 square meters wide.
16:37Aside from the addition of the trampoline,
16:39you can also play basketball here.
16:42And the kids can also play tag.
16:46To level up the adventure,
16:48try wall climbing and mini zipline.
16:57These amusement parks,
16:59according to experts,
17:00are fun and adventure for others
17:02and are beneficial for health.
17:05First of all,
17:06their physical health will be much, much improved
17:11because there are a lot of physical activities
17:14that they can do in these amusement parks
17:18or theme parks.
17:20Running, climbing, jumping.
17:23So all the physical activities
17:25will enhance their physical health.
17:29And in fact, even their immune system.
17:31We always say that when you exercise,
17:34your immune system develops better.
17:39According to Doc,
17:40it's also a good way for the kids to be more active.
17:44It's a health benefit that's very important
17:46especially now because most of the time,
17:48the kids are really sitting facing the TV
17:53and or the computers or gadgets.
17:58Classic games are still a part of amusement parks.
18:01In the billiards,
18:02Michael and his sister, Kira,
18:04did a great job in playing billiards.
18:10While Mommy G and AJ
18:12played claw machine.
18:16Social emotional skills develop there.
18:20First of all, the bonding moment.
18:23Isn't that very important for families?
18:28Aside from that, their emotions as well.
18:31When you lose,
18:33the kid learns how to regulate his emotions
18:37because most of the time,
18:39when a kid loses, he gets really angry
18:42or he just disappears.
18:44But because he practices
18:48through those kinds of fun games,
18:52the parents also teach him
18:55how to handle situations
18:58like when he loses.
19:01Michael was able to fly
19:03and they had fun in the rides.
19:15The parents went around in this go-kart.
19:26They also raced in the bumper car.
19:36And the O.G. Rides carousel
19:39for the old carnival
19:41was also there.
19:52It was so fun.
19:55The most important thing
19:57that they learn in the rides
19:59is that they are amused.
20:01They are having fun.
20:02But at the same time,
20:03they are also meeting other people.
20:05Because when they are in the rides,
20:08they can have people beside them,
20:10behind them, in front of them.
20:12And they can see the vastness
20:15of the theme park.
20:17So they learn a lot from there.
20:20We do have safety checks every day.
20:22So all the rides have been installed
20:24with safety harnesses, gears, and seatbelts.
20:27So all of the staffs are being trained as well.
20:30This carnival doesn't choose
20:32a specific occasion.
20:34That's why this couple
20:35chose to celebrate
20:37their second anniversary here.
20:39It's a killing match!
20:41We saw it on TikTok.
20:43We also dated
20:45because it's our second anniversary.
20:49They started their anniversary date
20:51with bowling.
20:57Then they went to the arcades.
21:07And even rollerskating!
21:09That's right!
21:10Because it's the first time
21:12for Julie and Marvin to roller skate.
21:14They can do it!
21:17More practice, Julie!
21:26After their roller skates,
21:29it's time-out for the two of them
21:31to have a snack.
21:38What we give to the kids
21:41is also what we give to the kids.
21:44That's what we do
21:46when we're old.
21:48Because we also need to be
21:51physically active, right?
21:54Because as we grow older,
21:56when we're always sitting,
21:58it's easier for us
22:00to have problems with our bones
22:02and muscles.
22:04If we are with our children
22:06and we are meeting other people
22:08at the same time,
22:09it also enhances our
22:11socio-emotional development
22:13and we continue to develop
22:15even as we grow older.
22:18Kids, just enjoy
22:20these amusement parks.
22:22Just remember,
22:23safety first!
22:25We can orient our children
22:27on what they will expect
22:29when they go to theme parks.
22:32Because there are some children
22:34who have fear.
22:36When you orient them,
22:38you tell them what to expect,
22:40I think they will become more excited
22:42and they will really be enjoying
22:44what they will be doing there.
22:46Second, we have to make sure
22:48that they are always supervised.
22:51Because they can get lost
22:53in the crowd.
22:55Third, that they are always safe.
22:58Because there are activities
23:01where they can fall
23:03or get hurt.
23:05So, safety is of paramount importance.
23:10Relax when you have time.
23:12Because the whole family is weak.
23:17Because we deserve to enjoy
23:19and rest.
23:25Meanwhile,
23:26back to our free consultation
23:27with Dr. Q
23:28in Barangay Batasan.
23:30Doc Q,
23:31how are the pregnant women there?
23:33For example,
23:35I am surrounded by
23:37a lot of pregnant women.
23:39This is what we are doing right now.
23:42Especially because it is Mother's Day.
23:44So, we are celebrating Mother's Day.
23:46But in fact,
23:47Mother's Day should be every day.
23:49For example,
23:50I have another visitor here,
23:52Mami Lizelle.
23:53My name is Lizelle Vidroja.
23:55I am pregnant, 36 weeks.
23:57Mami Lizelle,
23:58how many times have you been pregnant?
24:00This is my second time.
24:01Second time.
24:02What is your concern?
24:03If I am affected
24:05by a bump,
24:07a bump,
24:08or a bump,
24:09what will affect me?
24:11If you fell,
24:12slipped,
24:13or a bump.
24:14So,
24:15are you afraid
24:17of a bump?
24:19I just want to know
24:21if it will affect the baby.
24:23The baby.
24:24Okay.
24:25A pregnant woman
24:27with a bump
24:28is not only a problem for the baby,
24:30but also for the mother.
24:31So, let's look at the side of the mother.
24:33If the mother has a bump,
24:35what can happen to her?
24:37So, of course,
24:38there is stress,
24:39there is trauma.
24:40Especially if there is trauma,
24:41in the first trimester of the pregnancy,
24:43in the first three months,
24:44and the mother has a bump,
24:45and,
24:46for example,
24:47your uterus is swollen,
24:49or there is trauma in your uterus,
24:51what can happen there is abortion,
24:53miscarriage,
24:54you will bleed,
24:55the product of your pregnancy,
24:59you will release it.
25:00In the second and third trimester,
25:02you can do premature labor,
25:04your uterus may bulge,
25:06or you can do abruption placenta,
25:08which means that
25:09the placenta in the uterus
25:11is separated from the uterus
25:12and you are not doing labor yet.
25:13And this can also kill the baby.
25:15Now,
25:16for the baby,
25:17the effect of this on the baby,
25:18can be preterm delivery,
25:20the baby will do premature labor,
25:21you will release it
25:22if it is not enough for the month.
25:24And if it is not enough for the month,
25:25because there are a lot of problems there,
25:27the baby will not be able to function,
25:29so it can grow,
25:31it will need oxygen,
25:32it will stay there for a long time
25:34in the neonatal intensive care unit.
25:36And of course,
25:37if that happens,
25:38another problem there is
25:40it is prone to infection because it is premature.
25:42That's why it can have
25:44hemorrhage in its brain.
25:46We have a belief that
25:48if you are pregnant,
25:50you are pregnant,
25:51or your uterus is bulging,
25:52the baby will have a baby bump.
25:54I think that is also the problem,
25:56your concern.
25:57That is not true.
25:58Because the baby bump
26:00will develop
26:02in the embryonic stage
26:04of the baby.
26:06It is already there.
26:08It is already predicted
26:10or programmed for the baby
26:12to have a baby bump.
26:14It is a congenital anomaly
26:16that can be genetic.
26:17Meaning,
26:18it can pass from one generation to another.
26:20Or maybe,
26:22there are mutations
26:24in the genes of the mother or the father
26:26that caused the baby bump.
26:28This is what we hear
26:31that if you are pregnant,
26:33you will have a baby bump.
26:39I want to know
26:41if it is normal for the baby bump
26:43to be small,
26:44even if it has been 5 months.
26:48Abby believes that
26:49the nutrition that the baby gets
26:51is not enough.
26:53I am allergic to food.
26:55And I am constipated,
26:57so I can't eat.
27:03And when we consulted with the doctor,
27:07Is there anything moving in your tummy?
27:09No.
27:10When did you start feeling it?
27:12Around 2 hours ago.
27:18According to the doctor,
27:19the condition of the baby is normal.
27:21It is normal for the baby to have a small bump
27:23even if it has been 5 months.
27:25In Abby's case,
27:27even if it has been 5 months,
27:29the bump is still small.
27:30According to the doctor,
27:31don't worry.
27:33Because the size or size of the bump
27:35depends on the fundal height
27:37or the measurement
27:39from the pubic bone of the bump
27:41to the uterus.
27:43So, don't worry,
27:45you can still consult
27:47with the experts
27:49to be sure.
27:51There is no doubt
27:53if you will follow the old beliefs.
27:55That's why when it comes to testing,
27:57many of us still believe
27:59in miracles.
28:03That's why
28:05the local doctors are here
28:07to clarify some of those.
28:13How many tests have we done?
28:155.
28:17And where are we getting checked?
28:19At the health center.
28:23How many tests have we done?
28:25127.
28:27Your BP is 127.
28:29So, you're still okay.
28:31Healthy, healthy.
28:33Mommy Angie is one of the
28:35visitors to the free consultation
28:37here in Barangay Batasan Hills,
28:39Quezon City.
28:41It's hard to get a test.
28:43It's also my 5th baby.
28:45That's why I need to get a check-up.
28:47I used to be used to work.
28:49But now,
28:51it's hard because
28:53I feel like I'm a newbie.
28:55She also believes
28:57that she needs to exercise
28:59to improve her pregnancy.
29:01In the morning and in the afternoon,
29:03I just exercise.
29:05It's also a way to
29:07avoid pregnancy.
29:09Doctor, is it true that
29:11pregnant women are not allowed to exercise?
29:13Before I answer that,
29:15I'm happy that you're here
29:17and I can see you in person.
29:19Miss Abby,
29:21you can do it.
29:23We have exercises
29:25for pregnant women.
29:27In fact, Abby, they can do it
29:29even after their delivery.
29:31Like pilates,
29:33jogging,
29:35or slow walking.
29:37Mommy's muscles need to be conditioned
29:39so that during labor,
29:41their erection will be stable.
29:43Pregnancy happens
29:45to pregnant women in their first trimester.
29:47But Angie doesn't experience
29:49labor pain in her food.
29:51In my first trimester,
29:53my husband had a labor pain.
29:55They used to say that
29:57if you have a labor pain
29:59within 3 months,
30:01it's true.
30:03That's why I didn't feel the labor pain.
30:05He eats a lot.
30:07Is it true that
30:09men can also have a labor pain?
30:11The labor pain
30:13is in the first trimester
30:15of a woman's pregnancy
30:17where they have cravings
30:19during the first trimester of pregnancy.
30:21When you have cravings,
30:23you look for food
30:25that even at night,
30:27your wife will extend
30:29her love to men.
30:31But my husband,
30:33because he can't find food
30:35early in the morning,
30:37he likes it.
30:39Truthfully speaking,
30:41it's not really cravings.
30:43It's part of conception.
30:45Even if she doesn't experience labor pain,
30:47Angie feels more
30:49labor pain.
30:51I'm not yet 35.
30:53I have a labor pain.
30:55Maybe when I'm 35, it will be harder.
30:57Is it true that
30:5935 years old and above
31:01is already high risk for pregnancy?
31:03That's right, Abby.
31:05In fact, our cutoff there is
31:0735. Why 35 years old?
31:09Because there are studies
31:11that show that
31:13if a woman is pregnant
31:15at 35 and above,
31:17there are many associated complications
31:19like diabetes,
31:21hypertension, or high blood pressure,
31:23high cholesterol.
31:25When she's pregnant at 35,
31:27we consider it high risk.
31:29Not only for the mother, but also for the baby.
31:31That's why, Abby,
31:33you need to get married
31:35and give birth before 35.
31:38There, it's already in place.
31:40So that the mother won't be the first
31:42to worry about old beliefs,
31:44Doc should be the only one to trust.
31:51Meanwhile, aside from free consultation,
31:56this is a small gift from PNMD
31:58for our pregnant mommies.
32:00Last reminder from Doc,
32:02complete the prenatal check-up
32:04and if there's any problem,
32:06consult the specialist immediately.
32:09So that it's safe,
32:11not only the baby,
32:13but also the mother.
32:17And for our last question
32:19for the free consultation
32:21with our obstetrician-gynecologist,
32:23Doc will answer that.
32:25We have a free consultation
32:27with our obstetrician-gynecologist.
32:30We have a visitor today.
32:32She's different because of her outfit.
32:34This is Mommy Maricar.
32:36Hi, I'm Maricar Tanian, 27 years old.
32:39I'm 8 months pregnant.
32:41How many times have you given birth?
32:44This is the third time.
32:46So what's your question
32:48or what's your concern right now?
32:50My question is,
32:52is it normal for someone like me
32:54to experience pregnancy?
32:58Do you give birth often?
33:00Almost every day?
33:02Yes, every early morning.
33:04Do you work?
33:06No.
33:08If it's early morning,
33:10it's because you're sleeping
33:12or you're working.
33:14If you're working,
33:16for example,
33:18your shift is early morning,
33:20the graveyard shift,
33:22the nerves in the uterus
33:24and the uterus are tight.
33:27If it's early morning
33:29and you're just sleeping,
33:31it's because of your sleeping position.
33:33Especially if you're on one side,
33:35that side is the uterus.
33:37But it's not a problem
33:39because there are other reasons
33:41for the uterus to be tight.
33:43You may lack electrolytes,
33:45for example, potassium
33:47or sodium.
33:49So you need to be hydrated,
33:51properly hydrated.
33:54Avoid sweating a lot
33:56because if you sweat a lot
33:58and you can't replace the fluids,
34:00you may have an electrolyte imbalance.
34:02These are the possible reasons
34:04why you have a tight uterus.
34:06During pregnancy,
34:08it's normal to have a tight uterus
34:10but it shouldn't be frequent.
34:12But if it's frequent,
34:14there are other reasons
34:16that we need to investigate.
