It is possible, but this would not be a symptom of pregnancy. It would more likely be a symptom of a sexually transmitted disease or urinary tract infection.

Can midol stop early pregnancy?

It is important to read the label of your box of Midol. Some types of Midol are NSAIDs - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are contraindicated in pregnancy. It most likely will not cause a miscarriage, but it can create persistent changes in the baby's circulation that can cause grave harm to the baby once it is born.

Other types of Midol are acetaminophen based. These types of Midol are considered safe to use in pregnancy. Make sure you read the box and find out which one you have. Remember pregnant moms - don't take NSAIDs in pregnancy!

This is a partial answer. See above for a more complete answer. No. Midol contains acetaminophen (paracetamol), one of the safest pain relievers there is, and caffeine. Neither of these cause miscarriage. However the literature states that you should consult a health professional before use if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Answer 2

A previous answer stated that paracetamol (tylenol), could have adverse effects on the fetus. As noted above, it is one of the safest medications available for pain and fever during pregnancy when used in recommended dosages. There is no reason for concern if you took this drug while pregnant!

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).

Does your abdomen feel tight when you first get pregnant?

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

Why do you have to urinate often during first trimester?

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

Can you drink alcohol during your first trimester?

Alcohol consumption anytime in a pregnancy is dangerous to the fetus

Is it normal to get dizzy during postpartum?

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.

Is it normal not to eat much during your first trimester?

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.

Should you go to the ER if you have abdominal pain and you think you may be pregnant?

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!

How does your cervix feel in the first trimester?

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.

Can you suck in a pregnant belly?

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.

Should you take vitamins while pregnant?

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).

What happens when your 3 weeks pregnant?

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.

How does alcohol effect the fetus?

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. !

Is it safe to get a tattoo during first trimester of pregnancy?

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.
