Can heavy metals pass through the placental barrier?
Most probably they will pass that way. They are toxic to the mother and foetus as well.
What happens after cytotec?
There is a possibility that the attempt to cause an abortion with Misoprostol will fail.The chance that using Misoprostol will cause an abortion is only 90%. The treatment failed when the medicines did not cause any bleeding at all or there was bleeding but the pregnancy still continued. The woman can try to use the medicines again after a few days, but this can fail again. If more than 14 days after the use of Misoprostol no abortion has occurred, and if no doctor is willing to help, there remains no other option than to travel to another country to have a legal abortion or to keep the pregnancy.There is a small increased risk of birth defects such as deformities of the hands or feet and problems with the nerves of the foetus, if the pregnancy continues after attempting abortion with these medicines. Some doctors might consider this as a reason for a legal abortion, so try to find one.After the first dose of Misoprostol a woman should expect bleeding and cramps. Bleeding mostly starts within four hours after using the pills, but sometimes later. Bleeding is often the first sign that the abortion starts. If the abortion continues, bleeding and cramps become more severe. Bleeding is often more and heavier than a normal menstruation, and there can be clots. The longer the pregnancy, the more heavy the cramps and the bleeding will be. If the abortion is complete, the bleeding and the cramps diminish. The moment of abortion can be noticed with a peak of heavier blood loss and more pain and cramps. Depending on the length of the pregnancy, a small pregnancy sac with some tissue around can or cannot be seen. For instance, if the woman is only five to six weeks pregnant, there will be no visible sac. At nine weeks, a woman could probably find a sac in between the blood.If no bleeding occurs after the third dose, the abortion did not take place and the woman has to try it again after a couple of days or travel abroad to a country where it is legal or try again to find a doctor.If a woman would want to relieve the pain, she can use painkillers such as Paracetamol.Bleeding continues lightly one to two weeks after the abortion, but sometimes shorter or longer. The normal menstrual period mostly returns after four to six weeks.Making sure an abortion has occurredSome women bleed without having an abortion. Therefore it is important that the woman makes sure that an abortion really occurred. It can take two to three weeks before a pregnancy test becomes negative. So if possible, have an ultrasound made about one week after the abortion to make sure the womb is empty. See more in related link about Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec
What process moves nutrients from the mother to developing foetus?
In mammals this is done by the placenta, through which the foetal blood flows and exchanges nutrients/gasses with the mothers blood supply.
What fluid surrounds the developing foetus?
Do you mean fetus? If you do, the bag-like structure is called the uterus. It is located in the woman's body. The uterus is a pear-shaped structure that contains the fetus when pregnancy takes place.
What is a fetus and what is its function?
A Foetus is formed by the growth and development of an embryo. A Foetus is an unborn baby in the uterus in the later stages of development (after 8 weeks till birth). A Foetus is also multicellular. The body features of developing baby can be identified.
How are nutrients absorbed by the fetus?
The nutrients are absorbed through the placenta by the foetus. The foetus gets the oxygen and nutrition from the mother. The blood of the mother and foetus comes very close to each other in the placenta. Both are not mixed up. They are separated by very thin membrane. The surface area of the contact is very large as compared to the size of placenta.
What are the effects on the developing foetus of four named harmful agents?
mental retardation,congenital anomalies
How the smoke travel from the mouth to the developing baby?
Through the placenta via the umbilical cord to the foetus.
Can a foetus live without a stomach?
Not an expert on the subject, but would guess so, since it has no need to digest anything. All of the nutrients are transfered to the foetus through the umbilical cord.
How are nutrients and oxygen passed to the foetus and waste taken away?
Everything is supplied and filtered by the placenta.
What fluid burns a baby?
The amniotic fluid in the womb cushions the developing foetus from being physically damaged.
What is an amoniotic sac?
The amniotic sac is the membranous fluid filled bubble in which the developing foetus is suspended in utero.
What surrounds the baby during pregnancy?
You have the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby. Baby go on drinking this fluid and go on passing the same through the urine.
What is teratogen?
Teratogen is a substance that causes malformations for a foetus, when it's developing. Examples of teratogenes are alcohol, drugs, led etc.
