Labor and Birth

Sextuplets.

I'm almost positive that I read in a magazine that there is one on the bottom of your foot near the arche rite before you get to your heel. Spicey foods and sex is also a great way to start contractions, my sister did it and out came my little niece!

Four born at the same time are quadruplets. Four born at different times get no special name.

Yes, I was told that I had a small pelvis and I had two vaginal births. My first one was a forcepts delivery but my second one was fine.

Without referring to twins, Jayne Bleackley is the mother who holds the record for the shortest interval between two children. She gave birth to Joseph Robert on September 3rd, 1999, and Annie Jessica Joyce on March 30th, 2000. The babies were born 208 days apart.

It is possible, but some mommas walk around 2 or 3 cm dilated for a couple weeks. It also depends how effaced you are. Just make sure to call your doctor and go to the hospital (L&D) if you have regular contractions - for some women they simply feel like menstrual cramps at first!

The baby comes out of the frontal private area called the vagina, located below where the penis is on a male body. The hole stretches like spandex, to let something bigger come out. The hole is as small as a dime and grows to a foot to let the baby out.

vocal cord differences in different genders include the following: size-women's smaller=higher pitch, men's bigger=lower pitch length-depends, male sizes=17mm-25mm, women sizes=12.5 mm-17.5mm tissue shape-can change sound!!!!! Yes. You can be born without vocal cords. It would be a birth defect.

The "big" one that even some hospitals offer is black cohosh, but use cohoshes carefully...never use blue.

the answer is the brown rat

Almost all babies are the same size at birth, however, too much material can cause suffocation.

the lungs are the last thing to develope usually the last month is when it happends

Well if u drop a baby it's most likely going to get hurt or even die...if u happen to drop ur baby I would get it to the hospital asap

If by "natural birth" you mean vaginal birth (as opposed to drug free vaginal birth) then the recovery from a Cesarean is much longer and more painful. With an epidural the labor and birthing themselves are not painful in both cases.

I am concerned that you WANT to be induced. What's the hurry? Babies come when BABIES are ready. To induce just because your ESTIMATED due date is a certain day is not in your, or the baby's, best interest. Induction is painful and can result in a much longer labour and more difficult delivery because you are forcing your body to do something it is not yet ready for. Trust your own body to know when the time is right to give birth. If your doctor INSISTS on induction, have him/her wait for at least 10 days post-dates (past your due date) before attempting induction. It doesn't always work which results in more medical interventions, which OFTEN result in having a cesarean section. This is why the C-section rate is approaching 35% in many hospitals today. A C-section is MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY -- much more major than having your appendix out, for instance. Many complications can and do arise from C-sections. Let nature take her own course and have patience....your baby will come to meet you when all systems are "GO"!

Yes. A midwife degree is a concentration after the completion of the RN (registered nurse). In the US, it typically takes 2.5 years to obtain the initial degree. The midwife classification can take 2-3 years of additional study.

At that point it's mostly lung development. The lungs have to mature to in order for the baby to breathe on it's own. Also, to gain a little more weight so he/she can start to support it's own body temperature better. It's just a "neediness" factor. They thrive best at full term, but can "survive" with help from heaters/oxygen/etc. before that.

There are a few answers to this. Easiest is that the father acts as a birthing coach. He helps his wife to focus, time her breathing, stick with her training, hold her hand, get yelled at... to work directly with her. It works best if whoever does this is someone very familiar to the mother, and also comforting to be around. Most of the time, this is the dad. It's also good for the dad. Earlier in our histories, when dads waited in waiting rooms, there was sort of a disconnect: one minute you were a husband and ZOT! the next you were a parent. It was odd in a way. Actually participating in the birth seems to help overcome the "now you aren't; now you are" waiting room effect and bind the family more closely. Also, as late as the 1950's, the psychology of applied medicine was that doctors were an elite group -- almost a different race -- that did something amazing and beyond the ken of lesser mortals. So doctors would often not give patients their diagnosis (and this was sometimes backed by law!). They'd make decisions for patients. And the process of delivering health care was more like an otherworldly passing of manna to the needy. I don't say this to criticize. This was just the times as they were. Nowadays, this paradigm really doesn't work. Back in the day, "the flu" was thought of as one disease -- now what we call the flu can be any of thousands of infections, if correctly diagnosed! The time required to take a really thorough history on a patient has increased to maybe quadruple or more. And ironically, being a doctor is usually a lot less profitable nowadays, so the time spent on histories grows shorter and shorter. The bottom line is that members of the family are -- more and more -- considered to be member of the health and support team for the patient. Good doctors want the family educated and on-board for medical issues. Families, if they're smart, will realize that even the best doctors have to consider their own practices, other patients and their own family in any decisions -- but the patient's family has (hopefully) only one focus. This means that, nowadays, the family of the patient delivers critical oversight -- something good doctors don't mind at all. So the other part of the dad in the delivery room is he's impartial observer and quality control officer, overseeing the medical staff. It's a positive manifestation of a new societal approach to medicine that can yield tremendous health benefits.

You should not take castor oil or anything that might cause labor. Every woman is tired of being pregnant by the 8th month and wants it to be over. Let nature take its course, if you are not dilated, it is probably not time for the baby to come. If the baby is premature it could have many problems. Nature/God designed pregnancy to last 40 weeks for many reasons, Labor should not be induced unless the pregnancy is endangering the mothers health, and then only by the doctor. Besides, chances are you will only have diarrhea, castor oil is ineffective at inducing labor.

Certainly you can. Especially if you're worried that you really might be pregnant.

Well it really all depends, some say around 6-12 weeks. During the first 6 weeks women say they feel sore and "leaky."

The medical term for the windpipe is trachea.
It is called "TRACHEA"
trachea
The trachea
Trachea.
trachea
The "windpipe" is the colloquial term for the trachea, a tube connecting the throat to the lungs.

I canot tell without a crystal ball, which I do not own. Normal geststion is 40 weeks, you really don't want to have your baby early even though everyone is very tired of being pregnant by this stage of pregnancy. The last four weeks of your pregnancy may be the longest month of your life! Be patient and don't do anyhting to try to "induce" labor, nature has it all figured out and usually the baby will come when it is supposed to. Generally between 38 and 42 weeks.
