Fetal Development

Yes, this is common - it can be a few hours to a day or more most often but it is possible for a successful second delivery to be much later. Search google for "twin birth interval": the top result is 61 days!

As I've read, taking aspirin is one of the big DON'Ts during pregnancy. It is always best to consult your doctor before taking any meds.

only really big ones, usually they do an amnicentesis if they suspect something and I don't think it can be done before you are three months pregnant good luck joymaker rn Answer 2Ultrasound can detect many abnormalities for example, heart, kidney and limb abnormalities, and can give a "risk" level for others, for example Down syndrome. But other abnormalities may only be detected by blood test and so on abter birth.

people often feel kicking as early as 16 weeks. a 17 week old baby may kick and you might feel it in your cervix. usually they aren't that strong at that age, though. is your doctor sure of your dates?

As far as conception no one knows but the count goes from lmp (last menst period) so for example: if you had your last period on june 20th and you found you are pregnant after testing on july 16th then your conception count will be from june 20th, even though it could have been june 25th who knows.it's like math rounding the figure. And so the fetus tend to have heart beat sometime in their 6th weeks or 25-30days.the fetus size at that point could be as big as rice grain to a small raisin.hope i answered your question

cardiac contractions begin aroud the 5th week of pregnancy. A few days after that their limb buds begin to form.

Normally diagnosed between 9 and 16 weeks' gestation.

Yes.

Sepsis

The organ where the developing fetus resides is called the uterus. This is where the fetus grows and matures inside the female.

You are not 12 months pregnant unless you are an elephant. A pregnancy only lasts for 9 months. I suggest you seek help from a doctor or a counselor.

you look the same as you would before you found out you were pregnant . you wont be able to really tell until your around 10 weeks (that was when i started getting a pudge) some people are different though but i do know that you wont be showing at 2 weeks haha .

progesterone since it is what prepares and sustains the uterus for the fetus

It´s not encouraged to take antibiotics when pregnant but sometimes you have to. The abcess can spread to the bloodstream. You need to go to the dentist and have this taken care of.

The human fetus lives in the mothers uterus, he or she floats in a sack of fluid often called 'the bag of water'.

The fetal heart begins beating around the 5th week of development.

You can hear it with Doppler ultrasound around week 9 or 10.

You may be able to hear it with a stethoscope around week 20.

The amount that babies move during pregnancy varies alot depending on a number of factors. When mom-to-be is moving around (walking, cooking, folding laundry, etc) the baby tends to be lulled/rocked to sleep. However, when being still (sitting, sleeping) the baby 'wakes up'. Another factor from experience is what you ate recently. I recommend keeping a food/activity diary to see if you spot a trend of baby activity. How far along you are in the pregnancy can also impact how active the baby is due to developmental stages of the fetus. If you are concerned, please speak with your dr. After all, your dr can't provide the best care for you and baby if he/she doesn't know all that is going on! Hope this helps............

Normal......[NovaNet]

No, I'm sorry. A healthy embryo has a heart beat that may be detected at 4 weeks gestation on a good ultrasound, by 5 to 6 weeks the heart rate should be 90 to 110 beats per minute.

The first weeks of pregnancy is such a delicate process, things can go wrong, in this very early stage of development. Such early loss is very hard for expectant parents, especially if they have been trying to conceive for some time.

Fortunately this is not a sign of the way the things always work out, most women who have a very early loss have no problem conceiving again and having a healthy pregnancy.

Viability....which is possible at 20 weeks.

no not really. if in the entire 9 months of pregnancy there was no weight gained i would say that the baby would not be healthy. unless the mother had enough weight from the beginning to accommodate the baby's nutritional needs.

Yes you can have a healthy baby, I lost 30kg in my pregnancy due to morning sickness and my baby had a score of 10/10 when born, this time I'm pregnant with my 2nd and the doctor told me it will be ok to lose a little weight this time, not too much and not too fast. Good Luck.

The heart begins to beat at the end of 3 weeks. Our 'reptilian brain' develops within the first two months, but our conscious thought does not develop until six months into the pregnancy.

The Foetus shows only some human features, such as;

- The head

- The outline of a brain

- The tail of the body (as there are no feet yet)

- The back/spine

- The outline of the arms

Hope this helps :)
