Trimesters

Your body undergoes SO many changes when you become pregnant. Most of these changes comes from the result of changing hormones. You will notice physical changes such as weight change, many women notice changes in the hair and nails (usually for the good!). Your hormones will cause you to be more emotional. You will notice breast changes such as swollen,tender, color changes, etc. You will notice discharge from your vagina pretty much all throughout your pregnancy.

You should probably wait for 2-3 weeks or so just to have the results transferd in.

If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor as soon as you can.

The baby will likely be fine but your skin might be more sensitive and burn more easily

The answer varies depending on how many children the woman has had, whether she is having multiples and maybe a few other things. Doctors measure the uterus by using a tape measure on the centimeter side. The start at the top of the pubic bone and end at the top of the uterus. Measuring 15 centimeters at 15 weeks is typical, but in the case of women who have had large families, their uterus at 15 weeks could be up to their belly buttons. And multiples have their own set of difficulties in measuring. Ultrasound is the most effective way of determining the gestational age of the baby.

You tend to get very nauseated. You also start to become very tired or exhausted. You will notice you will start to "lack" on household doings. Your breasts will become extremely tender and will grow bigger. In the beginning you will have a problem sleeping then you will start to sleep more after about 4 weeks. Your appetite will decrease but try eatting some crackers when you wake up and stick to bland types of food. You will also notice you will become very forgetful which the doctors offices consider "placenta brain". Your taste buds will start to go out of whack and you may notice foods you loved before are not very good anymore but once you enter into second trimester it usually fixes itself back to normal.

Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different. I had cramps during my first pregnancy which felt a lot like period cramps, but I did not have cramps during my other two pregnancies. They usually disappear after the third month (12 weeks.)

National Geographic channel did a special show, called "In the Womb". I believe that in the first week of pregnancy, you can feel symptoms, if you KNOW you are pregnant. You may feel cramping in the abdomen area, and also if you have a sixth sense, you would be able to know
Besides a missed period, many would say no. But, some people are more sensitive than others.

A watery discharge during pregnancy can be normal depending on the amount of discharge. If it is a constant watery discharge then I would check with your doctor because you may be leaking your amniotic fluid.

Most pregnant women experience an increase of discharge so unless you are constantly leaking a watery fluid it should be nothing to worry about. I would call an nurse hotline and tallk to them or check with your doctor just to be safe. Pregnancy is nothing to mess around with.

It is not normal but again it isn't rear, it is known as spotting, it usually occurs between four to six weeks of your pregnancy and it shouldn't last long. If it occurs more than a month, you need to see you gynaecologist.

Ultrasounds are fairly accurate - a fetus at 12 weeks is very small. A 22 week fetus is fairly large. They measure how big bones are, and the distance around the head. There is no mistaking a 12 weeker for a 22 weeker.

Absolutely-- I didn't start showing till after that. I had gained a couple pounds but was still within my normal weight range that I usually fluctuate in. I really didn't start showing till about twenty weeks! As for not knowing I guess if you had very infrequent periods and didn't think it was odd that you didn't have one for three months (or maybe you had a slight period while pregnant) then I would think most people would know by the time they were that far along but then again sometimes we lose track of time. With my first two pregnancies I knew even before I had missed a period, with this one I probably was already a couple weeks late with the period but it was more of just having a feeling. So I knew within the first month every time, but with all three pregnancies I started showing very late.

Definetly, The Areola around the nipple is very sensitive, escpecially to the hormones that rapidly run through your body to kick start the pregnancy, they can darken as early as 7 days after concieving. Dr. Kennedy PH.D

Yes...it is called a missed abortion...I know because it happened to me a couple of years ago. I had no cramping nor bleeding. The doctor did an ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. They ended up doing a D&C. Not to worry though. I did end up having a beautiful baby boy in November of 2008. God takes care of his people! We are definitely blessed even though we did suffer that loss.

It's not very advisable. I would stay clear of it

There haven't been many studies on the affects of Acyclovir during pregnancy but those done on animals and humans haven't shown any adverse affects. It is probably okay but should be taken with caution and consulting your OB/GYN first.

Four weeks in a month. Thirty-two divided by four is eight. If you are 32 weeks pregnant, you are 8 months along.

Another way to look at it is the human gestation is 40 weeks. Forty minus 32 is 8 (two months--40 calendar weeks is a day or so less 10 calendar months, a calendar month is an average 30 days). You're in the home stretch.

the whole 9 months

Its not common for that to happen but if it does occur its natural. If you or anyone else has any queries go and see your doctor.

why is it that i have a small spot on my stomach that has pins and needles constantly? Its about 5cm in diametre and just underneath my breasts... It is essential that you get a doctors opinion on this. Pinched nerves and restricted blood supply usually cause the pins and needles feeling, but there are many many other reasons. Consult a doctor.

Ask doctor first before taking anything.

Vomiting would be one sign in the first trimester and you dont always have to miss your period you could be on your period and still be pregnant. Look for the vomiting in you and the people that live with you because it can rub of on to the people you live with expecillay if your in your teens trust me on this one

Generally speaking, about 14 days after your period--if your period starts every 28 days. Of course, all women are not the same. Some periods are longer than 28 days; some are shorter.

Under 3 mm is considered within normal range. These measurements are combined with additional blood hormone levels, put into an equation and that spits out a probablitiy of carrying a baby with defects. Usually if your chance is below 1/250 then you don't go onto doing a cvs or amnio - if it is higher, a CVS between 11-14 weeks and amnio after 18 weeks is recommended.

well when i first became pregnant i had normal signs of PMS. cramps and sore breast. then i missed my menstrual and the cramps worsened. this is due to the stretching of your reproductive organs. as the days went on my breast got more and more tender. At times i feel like i don't wanna eat, other times i cant eat enough. no morning sickness, a little nausea but nothing serious.
