Fetal Development

USUALLY IT TAKES THREE DAYS FOR MOST PEOPLE TO WITHDRAW AND FOR PILLS TO BE OUT OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS DANGEROUS TO WITHDRAW. IF YOU ARE ADDICTED YOUR SELF THEN I WOULD TALK TO MY DR. WITHDRAWING COULD BE WORSE FOR THE FETUS THAN THE DRUG ITSELF. IF YOU ARE NOT ADDICTED, THREE DAYS.

At 28 weeks gestation a fetus is considered viable, meaning with medical intervention if born alive at this time it has a good chance of survival. Therefore if any child is born still at 28 weeks gestation, they deserve to be buried and mourned.

40 weeks fromthe start of the last period, 38 weeks from conception.

It's difficult to say what this could be. I would recommend you call your midwife or local maternity hospital.

no . i have a beautiful child with down's and nothing was ever mentioned about checks of the heartbeat. i was under the impression this could only be positively diagnosed through amnio

No. I had the flu while I was pregnant with my last child and he is fine. The main concern about having the flu and being pregnant is getting enough rest, fluids, and making sure your core body temp doesn't go to high.

Maybe the mother wasn't properly nourished during the gestation; maybe the baby just isn't that big of its own accord. There are many things that can affect a baby and even the most minor can have great effect. Talk to your doctor about it.

This information is correct. I experienced the exact same thing. The early ultrasound is exeptionally accurate in most cases and the baby should measure within 1 week of the estimated age. Your body will most likely miscarry otherwise a D&C could be recommended. The pregnancy will most likely not advance past 12 weeks.

Eventually it will be. The remains will start to decompose and you will get a infection that will spread to the blood and cause blood poisoning. You risk both sterility and life if it's not removed. You will experience discharge with a foul odor and fever and pain.

You would then find out when you give birth to it. There are, of course, numerous "Old-wives tales," but they are not proven to work. Carrying a baby high or low in the womb, for instance, has nothing to do with the gender.

Yes. Drinking is bad for the fetus. It will likely cause neurological problems such as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. This is a disorder that is caused by the mother consuming alcohol during pregnancy. It can cause retardation and certain characteristic physical changes. This is something that they often won't figure out until the child reaches toddler age because that is when the physical characteristics are more easily recognized.

eyes develop

lips start to form

Vocal cords develop.

If your hormone level drops, it is the primary reason that causes a miscarriage. Most times your HCG levels declining are a sign of an impending miscarriage, your symptoms will stick around until your hormone levels drop down to pre pregnancy level (less than 5). Hormone levels during pregnancy are crucial, because they influence the growth and development of your baby.

placenta

That depends on how flat your stomach already is. If it is really flabby its going to take a lot more than a week to get a really flat stomach. If your tummy is already reasonably flat, then it might be possible to get it flat in a week. However, you are going to have to be doing a lot of working out.

It means that you are having flatulence or stomach filled with gas.

That depends on which test is done. A chorionic villus sample test can determine gender around 9 weeks. An amniocentesis can also determine gender and is done between 16-20 weeks. An ultrasound is the least reliable method because it's done visually usually around 18 weeks.

Pregnancy is broken down into three trimesters. The baby develops most rapidly during the first trimester (weeks 1-13). The baby starts off as a collection of cells that develop into an embryo. At 8 weeks, the embryo is called a fetus because the baby resembles a human. At this time, all major organs and systems have been formed. During the second trimester (weeks 14-26), the organs and systems start to mature. During the third trimester (week 27-40), the baby starts to pack on the pounds.

You could be experiencing a low amniotic fluid volume, which can throw the measurement off.

uterus

Yes it's normal

No 6 weeks is very early for a scan which is most likely why he would like to see you again in a weeks time.

basically they pump blood around the body. so much more than it to that but ask a more detailed question if you want to know

He looks like a perfectly proportional baby, just really skinny and small

It only took 5-10 minutes until my umbilical cord came out.
