Drinking any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can effect the health of the developing fetus in more ways than one. It can cause serious birth defects, mental problems, miscarriage, and FAS (fetal alcohool syndrome).

An infant.

Not from the pregnancy, but many women have bad gas because of the effects of hormones, and this may make your tummy feel firm.

I doubt you are peeing mucus, it is more likely that you can see mucus when you pee. The mucus is caused by the hormones telling your body to create more of it than normal. However, if you are actually peeing mucus, you need to speak to your doctor as soon as possible, because you could have a yeast infection

Yes, absolutely! Docolax is safe and soft on the sensitive tummy!

Alcohol consumption anytime in a pregnancy is dangerous to the fetus

Yes because your hormones are trying to balance to a level. Being pregnant really changes your hormones as I am sure you know and giving birth a shock to a woman's body even though it's a nature process. It takes time for the hormones to go back to a decent level. You may feel lethargic, dizzy, over-tired because you are adjusting to having a new baby in the house and not getting much sleep. If you can try asking your mother for some help and if she can't help or you live far apart then ask a good friend and by all means you husband or boyfriend should be giving you a hand so you can get some rest. See your doctor when you have these dizzy feelings and let him make the diagnosis. Perhaps you are deficient in a vitamin.

It is normal to have trouble eating, but you need to do your best, because it is not good for you or the baby if you don´t eat. If you do not eat enough calories and nutrients for the both of you, the baby will rob your body of all of it´s stored nutrients, damaging your health.

I posted this question, but yeah I was wondering because me and my boyfriend have been trying to get pregnant, and I am almost positive that I am, but a test wont determine it yet because its too early I think...but the pain is not persistant or constant. It comes and goes, and when it comes its like a dull, stretchy-like feeling. What does this mean? SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

You most certainly can feel your cervix while pregnant or otherwise. Seeing it, however, is an entirely different story, and is indicative of prolapse, among other things.

One of my friends got pregnant when she was a teen and she could suck in her stomach. I wouldn't recommend it though. Sucking in your stomach won't affect a pregnancy one way or the other. You are pulling in your abdominal muscles which are nowhere near your uterus.

Too much Vitamin A has been seen to cause birth defects and liver toxicity. Vitamin A in the form of Beta-Carotene (carotenoids) is okay, and actually necessary for proper fetus development and post-birth tissue repair. But avoid it in the preformed or retinol form (retinoids). Carotenoids are going to be found in fruit and vegetables, where retinoids are found in animal products (dairy, eggs, meat and liver).

Nothing. However it's not recommended to smoke anything while pregnant. If you really want to consume marijuana while pregnant, either use a vaporizer or make edibles.

As far as I am aware of here are some other things: illegal drugs, narcotics, x-rays, some prescription medications (birth control pills, etc.), some over the counter medications (ibuprofen), caffine, sugar, cigarettes, smuff, cat feces, and harsh fumes. You might want to ask your doctor for a list of things.

Drugs, ibuprofin, nuprin, asprin, hot baths, artificial sweetners, and a lot of other things affect the fetus. The best thing to do is to contact your physician and ask the main things to stay away from. Also, make sure if you eat fish that it is fresh. !

It depends. Is it for the mother or the partner?

For the mother, just avoid the abdominal region. Or just avoid it altogether---they're ugly.

On the other hand, Russ can safely get one anytime he wants, but I would advise against it. Ugly. Do strongly resist putting one on the baby.

I have a friend that just gave birth a couple of months ago that was taking the shot until she was 6 months pregnant. She did not know that she was pregnant and kept on getting the depo shot. He was born a few weeks early and had alot of health problems when he was born. Before the child was a week old, he had to have surgery.

If there's nine months in a pregnancy then divide by three to get a trimester. Therefore there are three months in a trimester

Yes. Diarrhea is experienced by some women, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. This is mostly due to the rapidly changing hormone levels and should not be a concern unless it lasts more than a few days or you feel concerned, then get checked by your OB-GYN.

Yes. When a woman is pregnant, the hormones tend to make hair grow in all sorts of places it normally doesn't. It often falls out after you give birth

Usually about 4 months, but all women are different.

Symptoms can start immediately or later depending on the woman. Some women begin to show (actual baby - although I "showed" bloating by 2 months and had to wear maternity clothes!), by 4 months, and some women (especially tall ones) don't seem to show until 8 months! It's all about how you're built and how the baby lies.
