Third Trimester

A woman can find out information about the third trimester from her midwife or other healthcare professional. There are also a number of community websites online such as Emma's Diary which provide information.

no tattooing has no harmful effects on babies

Patients taking certain calcium channel blockers may need to check their pulse regularly, as the drugs may slow the pulse too much.

It is fairly common. But this does depend on the amount of bleeding you're talking about. Slight spotting is normal. Heavy bleeding is not. If you have any doubts, go to an ER and get examined.

I was wondering the same thing!!! My hunger has been normal (like before I became pregnant) until last week but mainly over the passed couple days. I am now 24 weeks so I would also almost be in my third trimester :) and my hunger has increased dramatically!! I would assume it is normal considering the growth spurt that the babies go through now. My baby was just over a pound last week and will be 2 pounds by the end of this week so I would think our hunger needs to increase but really am not sure medically if this is normal :)

Yes, many women have their babies 3 weeks early

It is believed to help induce women after their due date. I tried it a few times and it did not work. But, that does not mean it wouldn't work for someone else. If your body and baby are not ready for labor, it probably wont do anything.

Is 16 a result from a quantitative blood test from your doctor's office? If so, you are very early in the pregnancy, less than 4 weeks pregnant.

Your one week past nine months, and experiencing a variety of symptoms of concern to you. Yes, you should contact your doctor. He will know about your situation, and can advise you as to what - if anything - needs to be done.

No clue. My midwives dont have time to see me, i ve got 2.5w in between visits instead of the 'normal' 1 week.

Usually around week 24 of pregnancy.

Infection during the third trimester--when the virus is likely to be active and the mother has not yet made sufficient antibodies to protect her fetus--may lead to congenital HSV infection.

No, ibuprofen is perfectly safe for you and your baby during pregnancy and even afterwards, as long as you follow the directions on the packaging. Think, what does the hospital give babies when they are little and sick? Ibuprofen or Tylenol. Don't overdose! But if you are feeling uncomfortable from cramps or pains ibuprofen is perfectly acceptable.

NO, ibuprofen is not safe to be taken during pregnancy.....drs recommend using aceteminophen during pregnancy, and the lowest dose recommended on the label. ibuprofen is typically sold as Motrin or advil, aceteminophen is sold as Tylenol. the reason that ibuprofen isn't recommended is due to the anti-imflammtory ingredients found in that particular drug. ask your dr for other safe alternatives to any medicine you may require during pregnancy

Dont listen to the first answer, listen to the second!! Ibuprofen is NOT NOT NOT safe. In recent studies of a small hole being formed in the fetus' heart, a stressor/main cause was the usage of ibuprofen products. ACETOMINOPHEN only!

The recommended dosage depends on the type, strength, and form of calcium channel blocker and the condition for which it is prescribed.

It depends on what that pregnancy test uses to indicate pregnancy. Read the directions carefully to see what they use to indicate a positive or negative pregnancy test.

You're seven and a half months pregnant and still having bowl movements. Yes, in general that is good, as having to wait till after the birth to do that would be quite a strain!

If for any reason these movements are irregular, painful, too much or too little, or in any other way a concern, please consult your doctor for information specific to your situation.
