what school can i be inrolled to learn abdominal ultrasound on pregnant women in rochester ny
Gestation is the same as saying pregnant. So when your midwife says that you are at 7 weeks gestation, she is saying you are 7 weeks pregnant. It is most accurate to go from the first day of your last period to figure out how far along you are because babies grow at different paces in the womb and if your baby is growing a little faster at first, the ultrasound may show it as being further along than it really is. Your midwife is probably getting your due date using the last period method, so I would go with her and say that you are 7 weeks pregnant.
Yes, at the doctor/midwife you can either have an ultrasound to show whether it's a boy or girl or a blood test at around 20 weeks pregnant or more
Not neccesarily but you should definitly see your gyno or midwife.
They work with pregnant women and women in labour
To a point. Go to your midwife to be sure.
Then she needs to contact her doctor or midwife
I have no idea what that is but DO NOT use anything while pregnant without checking with your physician or midwife.
Ask your doctor or midwife
Go and see your doctor or midwife
Your midwife is an arse. there is no way this could be proven due to smoking.
It depends how overweight she is. If only a little overwieght it shouldn't make much different, but if extremely obese it will be impossible to tell by abdominal exam. Over 30 years ago I was a student nurse training in a pre-natal clinic and an extremely obese woman came in thinking she was about 28 weeks pregnant. I couldn't feel anything and nor could the trained midwife or the ob/gyn and an ultrsound scan confirmed that she was not pregnant. Women at both ends of the weight scale can have their periods stop.
probally ok, but why chance it. talk to nurse or midwife to be certain
