Pregnancy Complications

the fetus kicks its legs due to its nervous system!

The chances of a child being born with light blue skin are improbable. However, a condition commonly known as "Blue Baby Syndrome" can occur when there is a difference in Rh factor between mother and child. The baby's skin is not actually blue in color, but appears blue because of the lack of oxygenated blood needed to keep the baby alive. This is also known as cyanosis. This syndrome can be fatal if not appropriately treated. Fortunately, it can also be prevented with an injection shortly after the birth of the mother's first child.

If the bleeding is light and the baby is growing properly there is probably little concern. If the bleeding becomes heavy or you begin passing clots notify your OB immediately.

I am assuming your doctor is aware and has evaluated the situation - if not make an appointment immediately.

Yes, it is possible. They are only human and are subject to mistakes and flaws of judgement. If you feel that this has happened to you tell them and have them re-do the exam or seek a second opinion with another dr.

Diabetes brought about by being pregnant.

Yes. The embryo is protected.

Ultrasounds are not invasive at all and will not harm you or your baby. If your baby measures 7 weeks but you think you are 9 weeks it could be a number of things. First off, every baby grows at their own pace and 2 weeks won't make much of a difference in the end. Also, it's not exact science. You can only guess when your egg was fertilized. There is no way to be sure the exact date of implantation. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure your baby is healthy. Just take the best care of yourself and it should stay that way.

Doctors typical test for gestational diabetes around week 24 to 28 of a woman's pregnancy. If you have a history of diabetes you may be tested earlier.

I went to the doctor and i got checked on the pregnancy test and also they took blood out, my results were 39.0 and normal range would be 0.0-20.0, i don't know what that means in BETA HCG? please tell me if im high or low in the possibilty that i am pregnant. I don't want to loose my first baby. In the Urine HCG i came out positive but in the comments came out saying: Weak Postive. i just want to know if im in risk of having a miscarrige.

Anytime that you feel that you may be pregnant you should take a home pregnancy test.However if you feel that you may be pregnant and are having a significant amount of bleeding or cramping you should see a Dr or go to the ER immediately.

If you have been coughing because you have a illness there are chances the baby will have it too but that is something you will have to discuss with your doctor. If it's just normal coughing or from a cold, it's normal and will not affect the baby in any way.

There are complications after an abortion because of the poisons that goes into the uterus to kill the baby, goes into the blood streams and causes infections. Also, because of the baby not growing up all the way, distracts the other organs to mess up., and that may cause a complication too. It really depends on your body.

Gestational diabetes usually occurs around 2nd trimester and will be resolved only after giving birth.

Likely because that is the time during gestation when their bodies are already under higher stress from the pregnancy demands. This makes any other "big projects", like fighting infections more stressful on the body's systems. The exact reason why pregnant women are at higher risk for complications with the H1N1/09 flu is not yet definitively established, but the above is the assumption.

Pre-eclampsia is a complication of pregnancy, not something a pregnant woman commits.

The test for gestational diabetes, also called a glucose screening test, is typically administered between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy.

There are many signs of fetal distress such as cramping, umbilical cord issues, gaining weight, fetal movements, high blood pressure, and fetal heart rate.

It is the brand name of the medical abortion pills.

My cousin is an insulin dependent diabetic & she had a very rough pregnany & the baby was premature. He had to have a few surgeries after birth also. But now he is a healthy 16 month old baby. She on the other hand now has liver & stomach cancer. Any prayers is much needed. They only gave her 6 months.

Your cervix is slightly thinner than it should be at 21 weeks - if you are having no symptoms this could be normal for you - if you are having contractions or bleeding your doctor may want to put a small thread in your cervix to prevent dilation or he may keep you on bed rest to see if the situation improves.

Discuss this with your OB or Midwife.

I think if you're in good health,eat right exercise and stay away from stress,you'll most likely have a successful healthy pregnancy. At age 50 that's half of being 100

if you feel good everything is in working order I think it'll be fine just like a 25 yrs old.

Pregnancy is dangerous for any female any age so I think it's ok.

Good Luck and Blessings

It can actually raise a lot of complication's. The mother/baby is more likely to experience preclapsia, placental abruption, high birth weight, cesarean section, epesiotomy, brain damage, umbilical cord collapse and knots,and stillbirth just to name a few.Most dr will induce labor by 42 weeks.
