Fetal Development

It depends on what kind of "partying" you have been doing. Your best bet is to stop doing any sort of drugs or alcohol right away. Make sure you seek professional prenatal care, and be honest with your doctor.

Uterus

Babies practice swallowing and sucking in the womb in preparation for entering the world so they can breastfeed. Sometimes it can cause them to get the hiccups inside your belly as well! :)

I'm so sorry, but yes, at eight weeks - hCG levels should still be rising and the heart beat should be clearly visible on a scan.

The tissue may be absorbed or you will pass it during what most likely will be similar to a heavy - crampy period. If you don't start having a flow your doctor may suggest doing a D & C, I would request another sonogram and a last hCG level to be sure the level has dropped and the heart beat is not evident before the D & C, if there is any question in your mind.

Usually a miscarriage this early is due to severe abnormalities - and is not an indication of infertility or your ability to get pregnant or to carry a pregnancy.

It is not detected in a foetus and it would not be looked for. Epilepsy is diagnosed by someone having recurring seizures. It is not a disease like an infection that can be detected. People are not necessarily born with Epilepsy. Epilepsy is a generic term that covers a wide range of problems that cause seizures. Anyone that has seizures gets them for their own particular reasons. Not everyone gets them for the same reasons. A person could be in an accident and receive a head injury and as a result start to have seizures. Seizures come from a wide range of causes and a wide range of severity. Flashing lights are known to cause seizures, but that is only in about 3% to 5% of people who have Epilepsy, not all people who have it.

1. Racism.

2. Basically there's a pile of blue bears all waddling to the cinema and they didn't invite the pink bear cause she's pink.

Understand now?

The baby is probably pressing up against some nerves when it kicks.

Always ask doctors exactly what do they mean, so you won't go home worrying about it. But I also had the doctor tell me once that I wasn't as far as I thought, & it was nothing I just got the date of my last period messed up.

How much does each weigh though? It rreally depends on that.

No. However, when the eyes of the fetus are developed and finally can open and close, they can see light. The fetus may even shield its eyes with its hands if you were to shine a bright flashlight directly into the mother's tummy! The fetus can also hear some things outside the belly once the ears have developed.

Because the stomach contains Hydrochloric Acid which is very strong. If babies were born in the stomach they would instantly die...

Just like the fetus of any other mammal - through the umbilical cord, that connects the fetus to the placenta, which is attached to the wall of the uterus, and eventually the circulatory system of the mother.

In the womb the first sense developed is Touch. It happens at about the 8th gestational week. Far earlier than the sense of hearing that develops around the 22nd gestational week.

Umbilical cord!!

Your midwife is an arse. there is no way this could be proven due to smoking.

Hi, We have just found out that our baby is not producing any fluid. We have been told by the consultant that there is a very good chance of a problem with the kidney or no kidney. What can you do...

In the fetal heart it was called ductus arteriosis.

The very moment of fertilization, the egg has chemical changes which prevent other sperm from entering. Then over the next several days the first formations begin, cell by cell. At 6-8 weeks after last period, the baby has primitive organs and all of the basic foundational structures that will become facial features, toes, feet, head, arms, etc.

It could mean that 1. they either didn't find the heartbeat or 2. You could be having a misscarriage. Sometimes it's very difficult to find a heartbeat when the baby is so small. Depending on the position of the baby as well. just because your levels aren't exactly doubling doesn't indicate a problem it could just mean that your body is responding differently then the other womans also as long as your levels are significantly rising say example 10,000 to 17,000 in 4 or 5 days then your fine some womens levels are just different hope everything works out for you and it is very rare that they can find a heartbeat at 6 weeks the heart is just about fully developed and may not have even begun beating it really depends on a lot so don't be so worried just yet your doctor will see whats going on stressing about things only makes them seem worse then what they are Good Luck and God Bless!!!

If you don't take care of it, you won't be able to live. Since it pumps all your blood from your head to your toes.

Ultrasound scanning is dependant on many different variables, it depends on the machine being used, whether it was abdominal or a vaginal scan and of course on who preformed the scan.

In the majority of cases the earlier the scan the more accurate. Was a fetal heart pulsation visible?

The gestation of the fetus can vary depending on your history, do you have a regular menstrual cycle, ie. between 28 and 30 days from the first day of one cycle to the first day of the next, if outside of this then your dates will vary as Naegels rule of pregnancy doesn't apply because you ovulate 14 days before your period starts. Were your last three periods of normal length for you? Were you on the Oral contraceptive/any other contraceptive or pregnant/ breast feeding or have any other event or medication that could have altered your body's hormonal response three months before you conceived?

If any of the above then using the 1st day of your last menstrual period won't be accurate.

Now unfortunately there are other reasons also, but the above has to be ascertained first.

It is the amniotic fluid that protects the baby, when the mother goes into labour its the sac that breaks( with the amniotic fluid inside ).

It's passed on to the mother, through the umbilical cord.
