Trimesters

Ultrasound is safe as it does not use radiation such as traditional xrays do. X-rays cannot be done because can cause damage to the fetus. However, ultrasound uses ultrasonic waves that are not harmful and can produce very clear pictures of a developig fetus.

Go to the hospital to get it checked out

I took Xanax during my pregnancy with my first child. He has been late on every milestone, and is now almost 3 years old and still not talking, not saying any words at all, and he has never mimicked anything like other babies do.

I do not know for sure that this is a birth defect caused by Xanax, but there is no other reason he would be having these issues.

Birth defects are actual things that are wrong with the body, not lack of keeping up developmentally with other children.

Teas are a good source of anti oxidants but during pregnancy you should be careful about the herbal tea because there are few that can be toxic and induce earlier labor if there is a question consult a midwife or ob/gyn and ask them if they are unsure then you can talk to a holistic expert such as an herbalist

It was my experience (three times) that it was continuous. At least the sore breasts. I don't really recall a bloated feeling per se. But pregnancy symptoms are different for each pregnancy for each woman. If you think you may be pregnant, you should take a test. They can be bought at a dollar store, so you don't have to spend a lot of money.

No it's usually not until around 16 weeks, same as with one baby.

Even over-the-counter drugs are just that, "drugs." Before even taking an aspirin or anything for a cold, all you have to do is phone the pharmacist and tell them you are pregnant and can you take cough syrup. They will usually recommend a brand for you. Congratulations Marcy The doctor will usually recommend robitussin for cough and chest congestion, and sudafed for nasal but always check with your doctor first since all drugs do essentially run through your blood and body and do get to the fetus in some way shape or form if you can make it without the drugs then do it try the shower soothers out by sudafed or a hot cup of tea ....also this worked great for me when I was pregnant and congested and had a horrible cold turn the shower on as hot as you can let the bathroom fill with steam and sit in there the steam helps break up the congestion hope this helps a little bit Good Luck and God Bless!!!

many people do but depending on what kind of toilet cleaner it is, it isn't safe because there is many different chemicals that you can breathe in that can go do the baby.

Yes, some people do. Some of the 'bump' in the first trimester is just from bloating, however

Yes!! Do not take steroids or alcohol at ALL DURING A PREGNANCY!!! dont do drugs ===ANOTHER ANSWER=== DRINKING alcohol during pregnancy can cause your child to be born with FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME. An FAS baby has multiple problems, including birth defects and learning disabilities. For your BABY not to have life long problems, PLEASE DO NOT DRINK or take drugs during any stage of your pregnancy.

Yes, if you are spotting you need to take it easy for a few days, also if you have any type of bleeding or spotting you shouldn't have sex until 7 days after the spotting stops. you should also let your doctor know, spotting in early pregnancy is common but doctors like to document everything.

Usually around week 24 of pregnancy.

What do you mean by 'work'? When you are pregnant, you can't get pregnant again at the same time, therefore there is no need for birth control

Yes its absolutely normal to feel period like systems in the first trimester. Don't panic, relax...its your uterus stretching.

The short answer is yes, cough and cold medicine can potentially harm a human embryo or fetus.

In the first trimester of pregnancy, taking any kind of drug is strongly discouraged because of the sensitive nature of a developing fetus. Unless either your life or the life of the fetus is threatened, avoid any drugs not prescribed by your doctor. Most drugs and medications will pass from your blood through the placenta and into the fetus, so it's very important that you speak to your Prenatal Physician before taking anything.

If you're suffering from a cold or a cough during pregnancy, there are ways to nurse yourself to health without the use of drugs that could harm your baby. Some ways you can shorten the duration of a cold (pregnant or not) without the use of drugs include the use of a humidifier, saline spray for a stuffy nose, gargling warm salt water for an itchy throat, and of course, chicken soup and plenty of rest.

progesterone is necessary to sustain a pregnancy. The doctor can start you on progesterone suppositories to help sustain the pregnancy . good luck joymaker rn

Poor you. I do sympathize. It is awful.

For most women, it gets a lot better by 14-16 weeks, but I know that can seem a long way away when you are having to cope with that awful feeling.

I expect you know that it helps to eat little and often, avoid greasy foods, and not to let your stomach get too empty, or you will feel worse.

If you can only face certain foods, eat them and don't worry too much about healthy eating and vitamins and so on until you feel better. Your baby will be getting his or her nourishment from you anyway.

It's all normal, of course, and even if you are being sick too that's normal, but its horrible,and make sure that you take lots of little drinks of water so that you don't get dehydrated.

Hugs and sympathy

Cramping during pregnancy, unfortunately, can mean multiple things; some are okay and some are not so good. It can be gas, constipation, your uterus growing; signs of an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and the list can go on and on. If the cramping continues and it concerns you too much you should contact your doctor.

Most likely you will not feel the baby move until the 2nd trimester. If you felt the baby move in the first trimester, it would be in the 3rd month and you would feel a little tickle or flutter near your bladder.

It depends. If you don't bleed or cramp or anything unusual the doc will usually see you at 8 wks then once a month for a while then itll keep getting more and more closer to your due date if all is normal. However if you do have any unusual symptoms you can be seen as much as once or twice a week. I am seven weeks pregnant and i go every other day because i have vanishing twins syndrome
