First Trimester

Yes, pressing on your stomach during the second trimester can potentially harm your baby as it may cause discomfort or injury to the developing fetus. It is important to be gentle and cautious when handling your stomach during pregnancy to avoid any risks to the baby.

The baby's gender can typically be determined during the second trimester, around 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, an ultrasound can reveal the baby's genitalia, allowing for gender identification. However, in some cases, early blood tests can also determine the baby's gender as early as the first trimester.

b. morula, a small, tightly packed bunch of cells that is the result of cleavage. A hollow ball of cells is formed after, called the blasocyst. The gastrula still comes later,when cells begin to push at the primitive streak.

It is recommended to avoid eating raw or undercooked seafood, including conch, during pregnancy due to the risk of foodborne illnesses. It is best to opt for thoroughly cooked seafood to reduce the risk of any potential harm to both you and your baby.

Drinking small amounts of alcohol have been proven to NOTbe harmful to an unborn baby....Just don't get trashed...

I know what you mean here i'm thinking i am pregnant. so as stupid and vile it sounds tomorrow night i will be going out and drinking until i probably black out. Some believe this can definately reduce your chances but having likee a glass of wine won't at all.

The first trimester begins from the moment you conceive until the 12th or 13th week of pregnancy.

It is safe to sleep on your stomach when you first get pregnant, but it will become very uncomfortable for you to continue sleeping that way. Later in pregnancy it is best for the baby for you to sleep on your left side, because this allows the best blood flow to the baby.

No, in the beginning of pregnancy until about 3-4 months depending on the amount your baby has grown is okay. However after that, it is reccomended to only sleep on your sides. This becomes more uncomfortable as the pregnancy progresses, but putting a pillow between your legs can help. Sleeping on your back is not necessarily bad, but it puts unwanted pressure on a major artery that runs down your spine and carrys blood throughout the body to your legs and feet. Sleeping on your back can decrease the blood flow throughout your body making your heart work harder and making it sometimes harder to breathe, especially as you get closer to your delivery date. The best way to sleep, as reccomended by doctors is on the left side. However sleeping on your right side is fine as well. Hope thie helps!

If you have a waterbed you can!!

I just asked my doctor (I'm 35 weeks and it is the only position I can stand for more than a few minutes), and she said that as long as I'm comfortable there is no danger sleeping on my stomach; my body would tell me if there was a problem.

A girl at our antenatal class today told us that she miscarried while sleeping on her stomach. Her midwife told her this had caused the miscarriage. She did not say how many weeks pregnant she had been. I am currently researching this, however, to find out how many weeks this might be possible.

Fear energizes you and makes you think more rapidly as well as helps you speak with vitality and enthusiasm (i.e adrenaline), and makes you want to do a good job. It also motivates you to prepare well.

Ecstasy is a combo of whatever substances they feel like putting in it--usually its mostly a bunch of cheap chemicals since the drugs are too expensive to make the whole pill out of them and usually the cook will use "fillers". In the first trimester most of the important things are developing--brain function and all of that. Using ecstasy while pregnant is soo dangerous. I would see a doctor to make sure that the baby is ok and be prepared for some complications during labor and also after the baby is born.

The baby would probably not die, but could be born with mild-severe brain damage and learning difficulties, and also mild-severe deformities and disabilities

i don't think so because its ouside in your skin and it depends on where you put it. Besides if you put a tattoo when you want to take it off it will hurt. And if you put a tatto on your tummy then yes it could affect the baby.
