Why is the conception date and how many weeks pregnant different?

Since most women do not know when they ovulated the best way for medical practitioners to determine the age of your pregnancy is to use something that most women do know and that is the start of their last period. When you ovulate during a cycle can vary so by going by date of last period puts everyone on a similar timeline. The first ultrasound from 7 to 12 weeks can determine actual age of the baby very accurately and give you a very good estimation of due date.

What is a belly bag?

This is basically an artificial pregnant stomach, that is strapped on to a person's front to give the appearance of pregnancy.

They are used by women in early pregnancy to get them used to having the increased size and weight that they will experience in their later terms, and can also be worn by men to give them an idea of what it feels like for their wives or partners to be so big and heavy, making them more empathic towards the woman's condition.

They are also used in drama, when an actress has to appear to be pregnant either on TV, in film or on the live stage.

Why some women dont show during pregnancy?

Everyone is different- some women don't show for months, but eventually everyone gets "the Bump".

You have probably heard stories about women who "wake up" and find that they've given birth... although I have NO idea how someone could sleep through that

When you come on your period but you feel little kicks in you lower stomach and feel tired mood swings and stomach is bigger do that mean you are pregnant?

If you come on your period 999 times out of 1000 you are not pregnant. Mood swings are hormonaland the flutterings and bloating are probably a bit of trapped wind/constipation.

What does it mean if on a pregnancy test there was one solid line and a clear pink line for the test line but it is hard to see?

Most pregnancy tests say that even a faint line confirms pregnancy.

A pregnancy test checks for how much hCG (a pregnancy hormone) is in your system - usually detectable 6-12 days after fertilisation. A test taken before your period is due might not show any hCG, even if you're pregnant, because it's too soon. Similarly, your hCG levels might still be low when you take a test - but any hCG says you're pregnant. (The exception is if you're having hCG injections to help you conceive.) So a faint line means the levels are there, but low. HOWEVER: you can also get "evaporation lines". That happens if you check the test after the 3-5 minute period advised (or whatever the manufacturer says) or if you use a test that's past its best-by date. If neither of these are the case, you're probably pregnant.

If you want confirmation, wait a couple of days and take another test, or visit a clinic which might have more sensitive tests available.

I am pregnant and i have a burning sensation when urinating and in small amounts and i frequently need to go to the bathroom oh i am 11 weeks pregnant?

It sounds as if you have a very typical bladder infection, which I think is common in pregnancy because the baby is pressing on the bladder and there is just general strain on your body. I think you would just need to take something that would clear up a bladder infection, but make sure it's safe to take during pregnancy. Hope you get better soon and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. :)

Are you having a miscarriage if you are 2 months pregnant and you get a brownish discharge and now you are spotting?
