Miscarriages

I had a miscarriage 4 months ago. I was 13weeks and 6 days. I had bleeding that would come and go through out the pregnancy. Every time I had an ultra sound everything was developing, but developing slowly. But, I knew I ovulated later than they thought so that didn't surprise me. The last ultra sound I seen the baby's heartbeat and everything. The bleeding returned again at almost 14 weeks. When I went in they said the baby died around 7 weeks. Besides the bleeding that had came and went all throughout my pregnancy, I had not other indications anything was wrong. I had just went for my first prenatal appointment and the Dr. said I was doing great. The baby was dead then. You can't always tell.

I measured small too. But I had a scan and it was fine the cause for my smaller than daes bump ws that the baby was low down in the pelvic region.

I don't think so. At 31 weeks, i measured 27 and now at 35 I measure 32. my doctor says it's just the way my body is. So stay calm and listen to your doctor. everything will be ok.

It is very true that it all depends how you carry your babies and if you were smaller the whole way through. Even if it drops off a little and remains consistently smaller than it is "supposed to be", it doesn't mean there is anything wrong. If there is a problem it also does not mean they will be IUGR. I have amniotic fluid problems and with three pregnancies I dropped off in size, they watched me, did NST's, AFI's, etc.... and although my kids were induced early because of amniotic fluid levels.... they are 8, 6, and 18 months and doing great! Do not worry unless they tell you to.

The external "tape" measurement of your tummy is just a tool used as as a rough "watchdog" measurement, if you will allow the use of this phrase. It your measurements are +/- 3 cm from your dates...assuming your dates are reliable...then the "watch" goes on. If the measurements begin to trend one direction or the other from the +/- 3 cm "norm"....an ultrasound review will be done. Like has been said, it may just be things like fluid amounts, genetic size, baby's position during the external measurement, etc....and not baby falling behind in its literal growth. Good question...!

ANSWER

Briefly, YES, measuring smaller during pregnancy than expected is IUGR by definition. However this might be caused by innocent causes, such as carrying low as discussed above.

This site gives a good brief and plain language description of IUGR and possible causes:

Often a new workout regimen will disrupt it for a short period. This is because your altering the chemical make-up.

No. You are more likely to get pregnant by having sex when you are ovulating. This usually is in the middle of your cycle, about 2 weeks after your period.

There doesn't seem to be any evidence that drinking hot water would cause a miscarriage. Drinking coffee or tea could be avoided because of the caffeine.

That it's probably too early. I would recommend a followup ultrasound at 7 weeks.

Please contact a health professional immediately. Your symptoms could be a sign of a serious problem. No one can diagnose you online. You need to see a doctor. In person. Severe pain and bleeding is NEVER normal!

I am sorry you have already had a miscarriage. Riding the rollercoaster is not going to make you have miscarriage. If you DO miscarry it is nothing to do with the rollercoaster. Good Luck.j

They usually go to the bathroom when they are by themselves, holding still, and not eating.

in the placenta they are curled up in a ball, they are about the size of an apple

I would request another ultrasound to ensure there is no viable pregnancy. Every woman is different and the dates could be off, ovulation or implantaion later than thought and with no bleeding or other signs of miscarriage I would ensure that this pregnancy is not continuing. Best of luck to you

* because the cramping represents constricted blood vessles and would not be happening if blood were flowing .

It's not risky, it just depends on what caused the miscarriage, what was performed for the miscarriage and how far a long you were when you had the miscarriage. I am four months pregnant after two miscarriages and everything is going great.

nothings wrong it could be Implantation bleeding which is a pregnancy sign

From what I have read yo can miscarry one twin, it is called vanishing twin syndrom and usually happens in the first trimester. But it's called vanishing because the twin dissolves into the mother with little to no bleeding.

nothing every child grows at a different rate at a different time no worries with in a week is not a big deal

If anything at all is abnormal, you should go to the hospital RIGHT NOW! Cramping, blood, headache, and backache are major sypmtoms. Trust your instincts and error on the side of caution.

I think it takes about a week to get pregnant. It's more common than you think when a young couple want to start to have a family and sometimes it takes forever for the young woman to get pregnant. In some cases it's because she is so stressed out and excited to get pregnant. It's better to keep busy, not to be too intense on getting pregnant and putting the pressure on yourself and your mate. Many couples that feel they simply are one of those couples that can't have children will adopt a child and just months after the adoption the young mother will get pregnant with her own child. Take the stress off! Get busy and get your mind off getting pregnant. Have fun, relax and it's a high possibility if you take the stress off yourself you'll be pregnant before the year is out.

Lemon juice can't do anything at all to prevent a pregnancy. Your digestive tract is completely separate from your reproductive system.

there is a chance. sometimes the tests are very light in the beginning and it is hard to tell a positive from a negative. but sometimes the hormones are present enough to tell. it really depends on how far along the pregnancy was. if it was only a month or so, it might be a very light line still. if it was a test administered by a doctor it would probably be more clear than store bought tests that are generally used more often.

i think you are confusing 2 things here. A stillborn baby is what we usually call a full gone pregnancy, or close, where the baby is born dead. So yes, that you will notice. Then you have miscarriage that usually takes place in the first trimester. Many of those happen before the woman even knows she is pregnant. You can also have it later where the fetus die but don't come out so you have to have an abortion. Or you start to bleed it out.

Mifprex aka the abortion pill RU486 can be taken up to week 7 and makes the fetus let go of the uterus wall. So no I don't think so. If you take it later in the pregnancy though I don't know. It might cause bleedings and hurt the fetus. There have been cases where the abortion failed and the baby was born fine but don't count on it.

maybe. it might survive but it will be very tiny. it's lungs are not fully developed at that point. it will be on a breathing machine but in some areas like Africa it will die

Cause Damage to fetus possibly miscarriage

yes, I seen my whole baby when I miscarried the first time... looked like a little chicken. :( but its more likely to see pieces. Also depends how far along you are at the time of miscarriage too... (sorry to have to edit it, I pressed enter too soon ) If you miscarry before about 8 weeks the baby is so small that it is unlikely it will be visible in the blood and clots, it will probably just look like another clot. But the later you are and the larger the baby the more likely you are to be able to see it. There is no reason why it should be in pieces. After about 12 weeks it will look like a baby and after about 15 weeks it may even move if still alive. It really depends why you miscarry as well. If it is becasue the baby has died it will look different to if it is because you have a 'weak' cervix and miscarry a live baby.
