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.
Has there ever been a woman who has had a normoal pregnancy after the essure procedure?
Yes it seems like it. I Googled "pregnancy after essure procedure" and there were quite many answers. You can do it too and read them yourself.
Can early pregnancy hormones cause knee joint and back pain?
Yes and you should let your Dr know about it.
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!
What would happen if you used some sperm from a condom that was 2 days old?
nothing would happen once the sperm hits air it dies
What are the chances a mother can survive giving birth with a tilted uterus?
Just as good as any other woman. The uterus normally un-tilts it's self around the 10 to 12 th week of pregnancy.
How does alcohol go from a mothers stomach to the fetus brain?
Through her bloodstream & the placenta. Alcohol is a small molecule, too small for the placenta to block. The latest information from the American Conference of Obstetrician Gynecologists ACOG is for women to Totally Abstain alcohol during gestation.

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.
Can fragile harm your four weeks fetus?
Fragile, also known as Fragile X syndrome, is a genetic condition caused by a mutation on the X chromosome and is not contagious or directly harmful to a fetus. However, if a mother is a carrier of the Fragile X mutation, there is a risk of passing it on to her child, which could affect the child's development. It's important for expectant mothers who are concerned about genetic conditions to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and potential genetic counseling.
What kind of pills is used to kill a fetus?
That's a good question. Prescription pills often have warnings on the label that would speak of various dangers. However, to be extra safe, you should consult with your doctor, and ask him what - if any - of your prescriptions may need to be discontinued.
Can St John bush destroy your fetus?
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is an herbal supplement commonly used for its antidepressant effects. While there is limited research on its effects during pregnancy, some studies suggest that it may pose risks, including potential interactions with other medications and effects on fetal development. Pregnant individuals should consult a healthcare professional before using St. John's Wort or any supplement to ensure safety for both themselves and their fetus.
A preemie, or premature infant, is a baby born before 37 weeks of gestation. While a fetus is the term used for an unborn baby during the later stages of pregnancy (typically from the 8th week until birth), a preemie is already outside the womb and has been born. Thus, a preemie is not a fetus; rather, it is a newborn that was born prematurely.
