Hello Friends,

I am in my 32nd week of pregnancy. As my BP was on borderline I do a weekly BP check with my office doc. On Friday my office doc (not my gynec) asked me to go for Hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar and urine test as my feet are getting swollen continuously. At the time of test pathologist performed Mantoux test (for checking tuberculosis) also because according to him my office doc has written this test also on the prescription. Today I checked internet about Mantoux test just for curiosity and found that it is not recommended during pregnancy and breast feeding. According to different sites there is no such evidence of side effects but they say unless until required because of the environmental conditions of pregnant woman this test should be conducted by evaluating the risks involved. But my working condition, present environmental condition and my health before and during pregnancy was perfectly alright. I don’t know why my office doc has written this test. And why I have not asked my gynec before doing this. Anyone of you has any idea what will be the side effects of this test on my baby. I don’t know what to do and don’t have guts to ask my gynec also because I have done something without taking permission from her. Please help me out.

Waiting for the response.
