Why do babies ball up inside the womb?
babies ball up while in the womb because there is not much moving space and it then seems to be a bigger space if they are smaller.
Why does Roxy's baby only survive for 5 weeks?
Amy lives longer than 5 weeks. She's still alive at the moment, and she's about 4 months old
What chance does a 29 week old baby have of living?
Pretty high. There is a lot that can be done to help a baby born at 29 weeks. He or she would need to be in an incubator for a while and have help with breathing and feeding, but the chances of survival are high
Why would a foetus measure at 6 weeks 3 days when 9 weeks pregnant?
Could mean several different things. One it could be that the conception date is wrong but it could also mean there is something wrong with the pregnancy. My son, who passed away July 10, was measuring through the entire pregnancy smaller than what I was actually..When he passed away I was 27 1/2 weeks pregnant and he was measuring 22 weeks. He was only 8 ounces pregnant. Follow closely with your doctor and make sure they take you seriously...God bless..Please keep me posted..
My first pregnancy was like this all I had was the sac.. no yolk sac or fetus and I miscarried at 7 weeks. The only way to be sure is if there is a heart beat. I am 9 weeks now and have fetus yolk sac and a heart beat. Ask to hear for a heart beat to be sure.
Is 79 beats per minute to low for a six week old fetus?
Yes, a fetus heart rate is between 120-140 beats per min. Decrease heart rate is usually an indication of fetal distress. I would have this checked by a doctor.
At five months would you kno your babys gender?
Yes, at 5 months (or 20 weeks since your last menstrual period), the genitalia would be developed enough to see. However, seeing the "bits and pieces" still depends on the baby's cooperativeness!

A 9mm gestational sac should correlate to between 5 or 6 weeks gestational age, by which time one should be able to see a yolk sac developing, although maybe not a fetal pole. It is true, that a small gestational sac may indicate very early pregnancy, and a repeat ultrasound and Beta-HCG level should be done. 2 weeks is probably a bit long to wait, however. I would repeat the HCG in 3 days, and another ultrasound in 1 week at the most.
While it is possible this is a miscarriage, you should wait for the repeat testing to be sure before you really get worried. Otherwise, you have spent this time worrying for nothing.
Does a baby in the womb pass stools through to the mother to get rid of?
When my wife was pregnant, I learned that in a normal pregnancy, the baby does not have a bowel movement while in the womb, but they do urinate while in the womb.
Coke will always harm you or the baby. I have friends who have done coke while pregnant and there babies turn out fine.. It is not a good idea to do coke. Im sure your baby will be ok if you stop smoking drugs drinking. The first part of pregnancy is one of the most important. I would start taken prenatal vitamins to make sure your baby is healthy.
How is a fetus developed in the fifth month?
By the end of the fifth month, the fetus is about 7 to 9 inches in length. This is almost halfway to the birth length. It weighs nearly a pound by this time.
As muscles get stronger, nerve networks expand, and the skeleton of the fetus will continue to harden. The fetus is more active and coordinated now. It is capable of many activities that help the fetus grow and develop motor skills. These movements are also strong enough for you to feel finally.
Ears are well developed and can start to recognize sound. The fetus also has regular periods of sleeping and being awake. Believe it or not, the fetus can also make a variety of faces, from frowns to grimaces! Baby boys have started to descend their testicles from the abdominal cavity and into the scrotum.
Eyebrows and head hair are visible. The skin is wrinkled, pink, and translucent, and is covered with a greasy white substance (vernix). The vernix provides protection against the amniotic fluid and will also make the fetus slippery and easier to deliver at birth.
Is my baby small for her gestational age of 33 to 34 weeks at 4.15 lbs?
No. "Average" weight at this age is 4.4lbs. So your bubs is pretty much spot on.
