Fetal Movement

Yes, a baby moving around a lot in the womb can make some pregnant individuals feel sick. The movement may cause discomfort, especially if the baby is positioned in a way that puts pressure on certain organs. Additionally, the physical sensations of movement can sometimes lead to feelings of nausea or dizziness. However, experiences vary from person to person.

At 18 weeks pregnant, it's common for the cervix to feel firm or hard as it is still closed and supporting the growing fetus. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms such as pain, pressure, or changes in discharge, it's important to consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. They can assess your situation and provide guidance specific to your pregnancy. Always prioritize your health and seek professional advice when in doubt.

Yes, it is normal to feel an unborn foal move within the mare, typically felt in the abdomen rather than the rump. As the foal grows, its movements can sometimes be perceived in different areas of the mare's body, including the sides and rear. However, if there are any concerns about the mare's health or the foal's movement, it's best to consult a veterinarian.

Thinking about having a baby often brings a mix of excitement and anxiety. The joy of anticipating a new life and the love that comes with it can be overwhelming, while concerns about the responsibilities and changes ahead may also arise. It’s a profound moment filled with hope and dreams for the future. Overall, it’s a unique blend of emotions that can be both exhilarating and daunting.

The sensation of a baby "doing flips" in the womb is usually caused by the baby's natural movements as it develops and explores its space. These movements can include kicks, rolls, and turns, which are more noticeable as the baby grows and has less room to maneuver. Additionally, the soft cushioning of amniotic fluid allows for the baby to move freely, creating the feeling of flips or somersaults. These sensations are a normal part of pregnancy and indicate that the baby is active and healthy.

Yes, the baby (fetus) start moving at 7 weeks but you can not feel movements until your are between 16 to 20 weeks. At 12 weeks your baby still too small for you to feel the kicks, specially if it's your 1st pregnancy. Cangrat!!!

A fetus is considered viable outside the womb around 24 weeks of gestation, when the lungs have developed enough to support breathing. However, the chances of survival and long-term health outcomes improve significantly closer to 28 weeks.

Gas particles move in constant, random motion due to their high kinetic energy. They collide with each other and the walls of their container, exerting pressure. This movement is responsible for the diffusion and expansion of gases.

Gas movements tend to feel like bubbles popping, while baby movements are more like tapping or fluttering sensations. Breaking wind after feeling movement doesn't determine the cause, as both gas and baby movements can occur independently. The baby's movements are not likely to directly cause gas to move in your digestive system.

It should be done every two to three hours, just as often as you provide care for incontinence. It is VERY important to reposition as this can prevent ulcers /bed sores. There are different ways to reposition you should check google for ways that suit your personal preference and that are appropriate for the patient. I suggest using plenty of pillows or wedges. Hope this helps.

Perhaps their thighs keep rubbing together they have to waddle, it might be a natural body reaction to prevent inflammation.

Alternatively, their weight is too much for their muscles and bones and they waddle because it helps movement.

I have a friend who is overweight and is made fun of because of his waddling. When he waddles it is because of his thighs coming together and because his rear end is too big for his pants. He thinks he has his weight under control, but the waddling is still very consistent and unfortunately I have to talk to him about it because he is being laughed at.

No. It is unusual to show a change in waistline within the first month of pregnancy.

I am four months pregnant with my second child, and I feel fetal movement in my abdomen a little to the left of my navel. Once you are farther along with your pregnancy, you should be able to feel movement pretty much anywhere in your stomach area.

Yes, via ultrasound

you can also hear the heartbeat around 9 weeks with a 2-3 mhz fetal doppler, while most doc's don't bother trying until 10+ I know many many people who have had no issues with finding them around 8.5 weeks. I personally have found my children around 8 weeks 5 days (3 of them) with the 2 mhz hi bebe fetal doppler. a pillow under the hips and full bladder help a lot.

I am actually 20 weeks which leaves me to understand that we are in close range. Nevertheless, you need not be worried as the baby is still very much premature and has a long way yet to go. But it is wise to ask such a question as being an expectant mother myself I sometimes worry over this as well. i.e yesterday and today, I have noticed a reduction the the amount of times my unborn one has moved. But do not worry, as long as you do the regular walking and move about, eat right and do not lift heavy equipment etc, get enough rest, you will be fine. From 25 weeks onwards, the kick counts will increase. :-)

When the sperm find the egg, the first one to penetrate the egg creates a barrier to all the other sperm. The cells of the fertilized egg (zygote) begin to multiply, staying clustered together in a ball. This ball of cells, called a blastocyst, slowly makes its way down to the uterus (three or four days after ovulation) and burrows into the uterine wall (five to seven days after ovulation), a process known as implantation. Even before the placenta and umbilical cord are formed, the cells of the developing embryo start getting their nourishment from the mother-to-be's uterine wall. http://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,5049,00.html

i would say it is normal that the baby is just letting you know its hungrey..and since your pregnant i have a quesstion if you take a test a week and a few days after your period and it is positive dose that still mean im pregnant?

Every woman is different. Although it is unlikely in first time mothers, do not completely rule it out. It could also be gas you are feeling.

Most first time Mums feel movement at around 20 weeks, and second time Mums around 16 weeks.

I dont think it honestly matters if you are a first time mom or not! If you understand what is going on with your body im pretty sure anyone can tell between gas and the baby, i dont know about other women because everyone is different but gas and the baby felt different to me. I am a first time mom and I felt my baby around 15 weeks. And after the first day of feeling the baby i felt it more and more everyday. So, it is possible.

You may do, some babies seem to almost 'kick their way out', usually the ones who have been extremely active anyway, others go quite still.

There is no feeling that comes with conception. Most conception actually happens a day or two after you have sex. Sperm, no matter how much you clean yourself afterwards, can live in the body for up to 3 days. Meaning you could have sex tonight and not be pregnant until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

My doctor is checking me at 7 weeks because it is usually detectable sometime between 6 1/2 and 7 weeks.

Six weeks of what? Pregnancy? Well if this is the question i can answer... Everybodys body is different.. but when i was six weeks i had barely found out i was pregnant main reason sense of smell is real sensitive and food i liked before made me sick....
