<s>[INST] Hi am 25 weeks pregnant i have 2 questions. 1. I have had a slight spotting. upon doing and ultrasound it showed there was slight fluid between the cervix opening and the placenta. What does that mean? 2. I have been experiencing a red dry rash behind my knees parts of my calf and inner side of my lower legs. It is very itchy and mostly it irritates at night. What is the remedy and does it men i have some sort of deficency? [/INST] Hello, I will be able to give you a better opinion if I can see the sonogram report in detail. Since you had some bleeding, it should be noted if there is a low-lying placenta or placenta Pravda, or an abruption of the placenta. Management varies with each case. Either way, you need absolute rest preferably with elevation of the foot end, monitoring of fluid and electrolyte balance and observation with further sonograms if necessary. Please avoid strain throughout pregnancy. The rash does not mean any mineral deficiency; it can be some allergy and a dermatologist should be consulted for proper treatment. Hope this helps. </s>
