Is it normal to have low amniotic fluid in the first trimester?
No it is not normal, It is usually an indication of something wrong with the baby. But it can also work itself out..Good luck!!
What trimester is 16 weeks in?
Well, assuming a gestation period of 9 months, as in humans, each trimester would be three months. Sixteen weeks is 4 months so that would be the second trimester.
Is it bad to have your period one and a half weeks after your last?
not necessarily your period could be changing when it is going to start so it bleeds close to your last period.
279 trimester hours convert to how many semester hours?
2 semesters = 3 trimesters.
So 1 semester = 2/3 of a trimester.
And 279 * 2/3 = 186 semester hours
Why do some women have a small belly even in the second trimester?
Some women havbe very good muscle tone which holds the belly in, some have a small baby and some just seem to hide it away somewhere.
Can one be pregnant and still ovulate in first trimester?
No, unless you are one of the 1% that still has periods for part or all of the pregnancy. But that is very, very rare. If you are still having periods, go with not pregnant. If you are not satisfied, call your doctor.
Good nutrition is especially important for brain development during what trimester of pregnancy?
Before science had the ability to track brain growth and development in the womb, it was believed the third trimester was the most crucial in preparing for life out of the womb. They now know that starting in the first weeks of life - new neurons are being generated at the rate of about 250,000 per minute! While brain growth and development are largely genetically determined, environmental factors - most importantly good nutrition and refraining from drugs including alcohol and tobacco also affect brain development, beginning in the first weeks of life.
During the first trimester the Central Nervous System (CNS) is one of the first systems to be formed. Doctors recommend Folic Acid supplements for all women during their child baring years, otherwise starting 2 months prior to conception in a planned pregnancy and through the end of the first trimester. When development is disrupted in the first trimester, as things are being "put into their correct place" it will more likely cause a defect in the design such as Spina Bifida - hydrocephalus and anencephaly. This happens by day 28, often before a woman knows she has conceived. Lack of Folic Acid (Vitamin A) in the maternal diet is thought to be a significant cause of this defect.
By week one of the second trimester impulses allow the growing baby to squint, frown, and open her mouth as she exercises to prepare for life outside of the womb. She'll start to experiment with touch by feeling her face or touching anything else within reach. During the second trimester specific cortical neural connections are being made at a rate of over 41,000/second This gives researchers new understanding of normal brain development and the disruptions in development that cause cerebral palsy.
Late in second trimester the brain is forming specialized areas for vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Your baby will start to hear and may even be startled by loud noises outside the womb. During this phase, with eyes still fused shut a baby will try to move away from the needle used for amniocentesis and some babies will even attack it. Poor diet at this phase of development causes retarded growth and refinement of the involved structure or system.
During the 3rd trimester, the brain goes through a final growth spurt and continues to produce the more than 100 billion neurons that will be set in motion over the course of the pregnancy. The well nourished baby comes into this world with brain development that regulates his breathing, digesting, heart rate and body temperature. It tells him when he is hungry and what he needs to do about it. Vision that allows him to find his food source, a sense of smell, so refined that he will know if a blanket he lies on was against his mother's skin or someone else. Insufficient omega-3 fatty acids and protein in this phase, cause a reduction in the vital neurons and synapses he will need to assimilate to life out of the womb.
"Other than allowing your baby to think, move, feel, see, hear, taste, and smell, the brain is of no particular importance." Dr. Steven Johnson M.D.
Is Celestial Seasonings brand Sleepytime tea safe to drink in the first trimester?
I have been researching the same question. Here is what I have found: celestial seasonings use an amount and type of herbs that are considered generally safe for consumption in moderation by most people. As for the individual ingredients in Sleepytime, it appears that Chamomile, lemongrass, and hawthorn berries should be avoided during pregnancy. Tila flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, and rosebuds do not appear to have any warnings associated with them. I have been researching this whole herb tea while pregnant issue and it is all quite confusing, from what I have read I am doing the following while pregnant: avoiding tea with caffeine, only drinking commercially produced teas, trying to avoid straight camomile teas, and not drinking any one tea on a regular basis. I have also learned that chicory and ginsing (among a myriad of others) can be problematic and that, according to one cite, only the following herbs are considered absolutely safe during pregnancy: lemon balm orange peel rosehips citrus peel ginger It also appears that most 'pregnancy teas' are no safer than normal teas.
You have had brown spotting and it went to light pink to lite orange are you pregnant?
Colour of discharges could change even due to vaginal infections.
The method to detect pregnancy would be a hassle free pregnancy kit test (Kits are available at chemists or pharmacies)
A safe, quick and reliable method to check it you have conceived.
Would cause vaginal swelling during your third trimester?
There is a lot of pressure on the lower part of your body (waist down) by the third trimester because the baby is quite heavy now (and then there's all the amniotic fluid too). It is very normal to get this kind of swelling
How many times does a pregnant woman vomit in the first trimester?
I think it's different for every woman, but I'm pregnant and I throw up at LEAST once a day. It's not that bad anymore though. I actually look forward to it because it makes the nausea do away.
It means that the woman is turning into a cow and someone should start drinking this yummy yummy milk.
Hi, I understand your concern with the spotting and lower back cramps/pain that you're experiencing. I want to assure you though that these types of symptons are perfectly normal for many woman. I have had four children and experienced both spotting and the cramping with all 4 of my pregnancies. Your body is going through so many changes right now. The spotting you're experiencing is probably due to the egg implanting itself firmly on the uterene wall. This will also cause back pain and/or what you describe as cramping. I've also experienced 2 miscarriages. I never had cramping with them, but, bled very bright red blood. So, as long as the spotting your having is not bright red in color, everything shoud be just fine. Worry isn't good for expectant mothers so relax and just let nature take it's course - You may find some other helpful information that will ease your mind on the following two websites, www.webmd.com & www.sofeminine.co.uk! Good Luck and God Bless! Warmly, Kimberly
What trimester of pregnancy does the sternum develop?
The sternum develops somewhere between week 6 and 8, so well within the first trimester.
Can you take venterlin in your first trimester of pregnancy?
This must be a tocolytic to stop your premature contraction.
What important developments will the foetus undergo in the first trimester?
Differentiation occurs, which is when the cells have finished dividing and take on particular roles, such as a liver cell, or brain cell. The spine forms The heart begins to beat The baby fully forms and looks like a proper human The baby can yawn, swallow and suck his or her fingers The baby has fingernails and toenails Believe it or not, this all happens before the end of the first trimester!! I have added a link in the related links which I think will give you more information than I can
Yes, most symptoms stop at the end of the first trimester
Yes
When you are pregnant is it normal to have a slight cramping for 15-30 seconds after urinating?
Cramping after urinating isn't a symptom of pregnancy, that I'm aware of. But is is a strong sign that you could have a UTI (Bladder infection). Go see your doctor to get checked for that. Antibiotics will take care if it if you do have a UTI. Yes, I'm pregnant and positive that I don't have a bladder infection and I have the same thing. Pretty much everything hurts when your pregnant.
What is the risk of taking Tamiflu during pregnancy during the first trimester?
If you are unsure about anything you should always talk to you doctor. Tamiflu is only available by prescription, so you should tell the doctor that you are pregnant, and they will tell you whether or not it is safe, or if they will prescribe you something that is.
What is the exact value of sin150?
sin150 is 0.5
Remember that 150o is 5π/6 radians and the reference angle is π/6 or 30o.
sin30 is 0.5
Is it normal to have constant vaginal cramps in your first trimester of pregnancy?
These kind of cramps are probably caused from your uterus pressing on a nerve that is sitting very close to your uterus. Your uterus has probably grown large enough for the nerve to be pressed on.
