There is no medical evidence that suggests a fetus would be damaged especially in early to mid-term for normal pregnancy.

Your period is ten days late you have taken two pregnancy tests within the last week you are experiences lower abdominal pain almost like cramps but no period Is there anything you should be concerned?

Yes, you should be concerned. It is quite possible you are experiencing symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. This is when the fetus attaches itself to the inner wall of one of the fallopian tubes. It will not show up on a pregnancy test. Please seek immediate medical attention with an OB/GYN doctor. The growing fetus will cause a rupture of the fallopian tube. If caught early the fetus can be removed without permanent damage to your fallopian tube.

The developing fetus does not produce lung surfactant until late its development.Explain what problem a premature infant would have if it were born before it had produced surfactant?

The lung surfactant is a substance that coats the internal surfaces of the alveoli (air sacks) of the lungs and prevents them from sticking together in the deflated state when the baby exhales. If the infant is born before it produces lung surfactant, then the alveoli will be unable to be filled with air and the baby will suffocate.

Can falling down stair cause a miscarriage?

I'm gonna say yes and no on this on. In the early pregnancy the embryo is very well protected in there and later in the pregnancy you can rupture your uterus. So it can happen and or it might not. If your uterus rupture you can bled to death. The fetus can get hurt but not miscarried. A number of things can happen. If this question is about you being pregnant and not wanting the child - get an abortion, safe and legally. I also see that you asked about a fetus at 5 months. This late you can def get hurt.


What if your period is nearly 3 weeks late and your uterus feels enlarged could you be pregnant?

Yes. Your uterus enlarges in the early stages of pregnancy in preparation for accommodating a fetus. The stretching will feel like cramping, so it can be mistaken for menstrual pain.
