If you had complications with a pregnancy before what are the chances of having complications again?
If you have experienced complications during a previous pregnancy, it's important to note that the likelihood of experiencing complications again in a subsequent pregnancy can vary depending on various factors. Here are some factors that may influence the chances of having complications again:
Type of Complication: The specific complication experienced in the previous pregnancy plays a significant role. Some complications, such as gestational diabetes or preeclampsia, may have a higher chance of recurring in subsequent pregnancies. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider, as they can provide personalized information based on your medical history.
Underlying Health Conditions: Certain pre-existing health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or autoimmune disorders, can increase the risk of complications in pregnancy. If you have any of these conditions, it's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to manage them effectively before and during pregnancy.
Maternal Age: Advanced maternal age (usually defined as 35 years or older) can be associated with a higher risk of certain complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and chromosomal abnormalities. However, it's important to remember that many women over the age of 35 have healthy pregnancies without complications.
Lifestyle Factors: Certain lifestyle factors can influence the risk of complications in pregnancy. These include smoking, substance abuse, obesity, poor nutrition, and inadequate prenatal care. Addressing these factors and adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the chances of complications in subsequent pregnancies.
Genetic Factors: In some cases, there may be genetic factors that contribute to pregnancy complications. If you have a family history of specific conditions, such as blood clotting disorders or certain genetic abnormalities, it's important to discuss these risks with your healthcare provider.
Medical Interventions: If you required medical interventions or treatments during your previous pregnancy, such as a cesarean section or medication, they may influence the risk of complications in subsequent pregnancies. Your healthcare provider can assess the impact of these interventions on future pregnancies.
It's essential to have regular prenatal care and consult with your healthcare provider if you have a history of complications in previous pregnancies. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation, monitor your health closely, and take appropriate measures to minimize the risks and maximize the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

Can placenta previa lead to placenta precreta?
No. that's like comparing Apples to Oranges. Placenta Previa is when the Placentation grows across the Cervical Os, blocking baby's Natural Way Out. CS is the Usual Mode of delivery in these, otherwise Mama can Bleed, possibly to death. Placenta PERCRETA, is one of the three 'Creta Sisters, all terms used to describe a placenta that Invades the Uterine wall. These are, sorted by Level of Severity, Placenta Accreta, in which the placental Villi are penetrating too deeply into the Uterine wall, causing issues with hemmorhage post-Delivery, Placenta Increta, in which the placentation penetrates through the Uterine wall & into it's Muscle Layer, and finally Placenta Percreta, in which the placentation grows all they way through the uterus, possibly attaching to other organs. If you've got Simple Previa & it's known about in advance of Delivery, your birth mode might have to change to a Safety Driven CS. (it makes for a Right Nasty Surprise, if it isn't found in Advance of Delivery, possibly a Life Threatening one, so go get that Sono done). If it's one of the 'Creta Sisters, you need to see a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist or a Perinatologist to keep track of the placentation as it develops & a plan of Surgical Delivery developed, with VB completely off the table. Hysterectomy at time of Delivery can be a Real possibility especially if it's one of those last 2 'Creta Sisters there. Not to frighten anybody, but if it's ANY of the 'Cretas, find an excellent physician & Surgeon to handle the Complex delivery required.
ALL these described conditions can potentially Kill Everybody directly involved with gestation (Mom & Baby(ies). NO LABOR or FULL CONTRACTION ACTIVITY, Mom or baby can bleed out if the placentation detaches, or is Shredded by baby in the case of Previa. Previa is Not associated in any way with the 'Creta sisters & cannot 'evolve' or 'worsen' into them.
What can you drink to help fetus gain weight?

Can a positive and a negative have children together?
There is not enough information in the question to directly answer it.
If the question meant to say "Can two people with RH+ and RH- blood type have children?" the answer is twofold...
If the mother is RH+ and the father is RH-, there will be no problem.
If, however, the mother is RH- and the father is RH+, then the mother's body will attempt to reject the fetus. This is often not a problem for the first child, but it is a life threatening problem for the second and subsequent child, because the mother's body remembers the "foreign organism", and is better prepared to fight it the second time.
If the doctors know about the RH incompatibility in advance, then they can often treat the mother to help reduce the chance of problem.
Can previous ovarian cyst surgery cause low line placenta in pregnancy later?
Not unless there is significant scarring in the uterus. A low lying placenta is often found during the second trimester - as the uterus expands in the third trimester, the placenta will migrate higher, away from the cervix.

Does subchorionic bleeding mean that you are going to lose the baby?
- No. It does not mean you're going to lose the baby. I had the same thing at 10 weeks, had an ultrasound that showed the clot, and the baby is fine. It is a blood clot, which will likely bleed out or get absorbed by your body. Only 1-3% of women with a sub chorionic bleed lose the baby (and it is not always necessarily because of the clot). Just take it easy, and let it run its course. You'll be fine. Don't stress over it.
- I was told that I have possible subchorionic bleeding, and that it usually clears up by itself. I was told not to worry, and from what I saw my baby is fine. Don't worry yourself about it, but if you are really concerned, just give your doctor a call!
- I am interested in hearing from Theresa or anyone else about this problem. My daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins and has this problem. It is early days yet and we do not know what the outcome will be nor do we know much about the problem. Will it go away by itself? This is an en vitro pregnancy. Is it more common in this type of pregnancy?
- My daughter is 10 weeks pregnant and the doctor does not seem overly concerned, which is concerning. The doctor told my daughter absolutly no vaginal insertion (no sex) until she is 20 weeks, at which time I guess they will schedule another ultra sound. The chance does exist she may loose the baby if the bleed gets worse and she bleeds vaginally. I do have a call to the doctor to get more information, which I suggest you also do. Good luck!
- Having had this condition I really feel for you at this time and fully understand how frustrating it is. Sadly there is no straight yes or no answer. This is not meant to upset you, just to let you know not to take this condition for granted. 2 weeks ago at 22 1/2 weeks gestation I lost my baby boy due to this condition. I started bleeding at 15 weeks and it continued non stop till the end. I had 2 large hematomas (10 & 8cm) and even though I passed many clots they kept getting bigger. The last 2 weeks of my pregnancy were spent in hospital and I had 7 units of blood transfused. Through all of this my baby did not appear to be affected. Doctors explained that the constant bleeding traumatised my uterine wall causing the placenta to come away and labour to start. There is no cure and there is no way of predicting the outcome. All I can advise is to try and stay positive but also source as much information on the outcome of possible preterm delivery. I hope you have a beautiful baby to show for all the effort.
- I was told I have residual implantation blood between the placenta and uterus wall. I was not told that it is subchorionic bleeding. I am 10 weeks today. Is this the same issue?
- I had a subchorionic HEMORAGE at 13 weeks gestation. Bed rest, ultrasounds, then limited activity I bled at various amounts throughout the entire pregnancy. My son was born FULL TERM by c section 6 days before his due date. My docs told me they had never seen a bleed so large, at delivery only the outer edge of the placenta had been atatched. My son is FINE. --He is turning 12 years old on May 2 2007 and this past month, after testing, we have learned he is gifted. So don't give up!

The fetus is 8 weeks and there is no heartbeat. What does that mean?
If a fetus is 8 weeks along and there is no detectable heartbeat, it may indicate a miscarriage or a nonviable pregnancy. At this stage, a heartbeat is typically expected, and its absence can be concerning. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, as various factors could influence the situation, including the accuracy of dating the pregnancy. Further medical assessment, such as an ultrasound or blood tests, may be necessary to determine the next steps.
