My doctor used the term 'nadir' when talking about my pregnancy, and I didn't quite understand it clearly. Can anyone explain in simple terms what 'nadir' means in the context of pregnancy? I want to be informed about my health.
With my PCOS history, I was always extra cautious about every medical term. From what I understand, nadir just refers to the lowest point that things like your blood pressure or hemoglobin reach, usually around the 2nd trimester. Don't worry too much, but definitely check with your gynac to be safe.
It is just a normal physiological phase where certain levels like blood pressure hit their lowest point. God has designed our bodies beautifully to handle all this. Keep a positive mind and take care of your health, everything will be perfect.
Oh god, when I had severe vomiting, I could barely think about these terms! But yes, nadir basically means the lowest level of blood pressure or some lab counts during pregnancy. Just try to rest, keep sipping water, and take it easy.
Actually, nadir is just a term for the lowest reading of something, like your blood pressure in the middle of pregnancy. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with my diet and test reports. Just focus on eating clean, nutritious food and discuss the reports with your doctor.
I am in my 5th month now and my doctor mentioned my BP has dropped a bit, which is probably this nadir phase. Honestly, I'm feeling a bit anxious about it, did anyone else's blood pressure also drop around this time?
I remember my doctor using this term in my second trimester. She told me my blood pressure had hit its lowest point, which they call the nadir. I just kept myself hydrated and didn't stress about it too much, it went back to normal later.
Please don't try to search these medical terms online, it only creates panic. I had a lot of complications in my pregnancy, so I learned the hard way that every body is different. If you saw this in your reports, please call your gynac and let them explain it to you.
