Yes. They often have particular sleeping patterns which the mother recognises

The baby and the mother share the same blood stream, Whatever drug the mother smoke, snort, swallow, drink or inject gets into her blood, and from there over to the baby.

I knew I was having a boy at 14 weeks.

It's all dependent on how your baby is positioned. My sister wasn't able to tell what her first kid was because she (the fetus) had her legs crossed during the ultrasound. :-)

It's also a lot easier (for obvious reasons) to tell if it's a boy than if it's a girl.

I found out that I was having a boy at 15 weeks!!!! But it just depends on how the baby cooperates with the ultrasound tech.

The earliest a doctor will have a radiologist determine gender is about 12 weeks. Most wait until week 16 through week 20. Determining gender by radiology is not an exact science. A fetus could be in a position where it is difficult to see the genitals. Your radiologist may attempt to coax the fetus into another position where it is more visible. You could also consume something containing sugar, such as juice, (no caffeine!) which will make the fetus somewhat more active. Amniocentesis, if you must have one completed, is fool-proof in determining gender of the fetus through chromosomal testing.

The safest way is to go to a clinic and have the procedure performed by a professional. However, that is serious decision. Prior to making that decision, please consider all of the short and long term consequences for your decision. There's much more to an abortion than just the termination aspect. There are mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical pains that you will experience. Additionally, the pains can sometimes be long term and permanent. I am not suggesting that you don't, however, I am suggesting that you consider all the consequences, and ask yourself, if you are strong enough to deal with and handle the long term realities of abortion--especially the facts that are not shared with a lot of women. Please research thoroughly, consider all of your options, and then make your decision. There are a lot more terrible things out there than being pregnant--children bring so much joy in this world. They are innocent, happy, and peaceful--and we experience all of this once we see them. Ask me how do I know. The fetus I considered aborting is now 27 years old and she is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. When the doctors diagnosed me with a terminal disease, it was her support, love and care that helped to to heal and I am still alive to share this with you today. Whatever decision you make, I will pray for you and always know, no matter what you do, GOD STILL LOVES YOU. Whatever decision you make, accept the consequences and continue on with your life. Do not get stuck--but get star struck and move into your destiny. GOD HAS A PERFECT DESTINY FOR YOU. You are sooo very Precious

At the ultrasound there will be no heartbeat or movement. If you are further along in your pergnancy and normally feel the baby move, you won't be able to feel him/her move anymore. If you are at the beginning of pregnancy, you will bleed heavily probably with some pain

It is called lanugo, the skin is also coated with a white greasy like substance called vernix and protects the fetus from the effects of being in the amniotic sac ( bag of water)

I certainly could. I was feeling movement in this pregnancy shortly before 20 weeks, which is 4.5 months. Not everyone starts feeling movement at the same time, though, so not every woman will feel movement that early with every pregnancy, although the vast majority will feel it soon after that.

Through the umbilical cord. The waste products in the blood stream of the fetus is passed into the blood stream of the mother. Then, she, ahem, gets rid of the waste herself for the both of them. Through the umbilical cord and placenta.

18 weeks into pregnancy :)

when the fetus kicks

A fetus is the term for an unborn baby from the eighth week of pregnancy until birth. Before this, he or she is called an embryo.

ANOTHER ANSWER An UNBORN baby growing in a woman's womb is called a "fetus" until it is actually BORN. Then we call it a BABY! <<adr>>

placenta

Cortal is Aspirin and can cause fetal damage but not abort.

This anomaly can happen to anyone, it is not genetic.

betamethasone and dexamethasone

That is what they call "vanishing twin" or "fetal resorption." Sometimes it is not fully absorbed, but flattened, and the condition is called fetus papyraceus. If this happens in the first trimester, there may be no other complications except some bleeding. However, if it happens later, it could threaten the health of the mother or surviving twin. If it happens at the very end, and the dead fetus is low-lying, then a caesarean may be required to deliver the living twin.

Yes. But inform your doctor, especially if you are undertaking any medical or surgical treatment for Graves, including medications, radioisotope treatment or thyroidectomy.

A pregnancy in which the zygote implants in the fallopian tube abdomen ovary or the cervix is called an Ectopic pregnancy.

My guess is that when the baby starts clawing at your insides, that you will become aware of the existence of its fingernails.

between 28 and 30 weeks

You let a cotton swab on fire and stick it up your anus.

Type 1 diabetes results from autoimmune destruction of insulin producing beta cells of the pancreas. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance.
