Ultrasounds

Statistically speaking, about 50% for each, but in reality it will depend on the father's genetics and timing of conception, pH level of the mother's body, and maybe even some more stuff.

Normally all miscarriages come out the vaginal way but there is no way to detect a miscarriage afterwards. Everything is gone.

Doctors may use ultrasound to guide the biopsy needle during amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling.

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.

self adjusting What? If it is brakes, it works throught the caliper. and pressure that is required to make contact from the pad to the caliper. You may want to repost is that is not what you are asking for. hope it helps. duboff

Because pregnancy starts during your 'last' period. Pregnancy begins even before conception. So that means your body was already preparing for the baby (which is what it does after your monthly cycle) before the sperm and egg were joined. Hence...you are nine weeks pregnant...but your fetus is only 7 weeks along because conception only happened 7 weeks ago...but your body began preparing nine weeks ago. I found that weird too when I found out I was 7 weeks pregnant when I had sex only 5 weeks prior. Hope that helps.

A normal heart rate for a baby at 37 weeks gestation is approximately between 120s to 140s. The babies heart rate fluctuates just like an adults during periods of rest and activity. If the babies heart rate goes below the normal range ( 120 ) then that means the doctor would need to evaluate the baby to make sure that everything was ok.

Conception dates do not depend on the length of your period. Your due date is based on the first day of your last period. Your baby was actually conceived about 2 weeks later.

Vitamin K is given to new born babies to prevent them from having catastrophic bleeding - which would likely to cause their death. There is very little danger of a vitamin being dangerous as long as it is administered correctly.

When done by a qualified technician in a clinical or hospital setting, 4-D imaging is safe. Unless there is a doctors referral for it and there is a need for it, most insurance companies will not pay for this type of ultrasound.

Because if you eat, the food gets in the way of the scan and you doctor won't see properly.

In general, vaginal ultrasounds are said to be more accurate than abdominal ultrasounds. However, there are documented cases where they have been wrong, with tragic results. If a baby is no longer alive, there is a series of tests that can be done to determine this. Ultrasound is only one of them. Take care not to take hasty action. Usually the body will take care of things itself, but if you should become feverish you should seek help straight away.

"I don't know" Maybe scientist discovered it.

the babys development and the babys heart beat

yes

Yes, indeed. At that age, the fetus brain is growing unbelievably fast, and the brain's neurons are making connections already.

Actually a more scientific answer shows that low heart rates do show increased chances of miscarriage. The normal heartrate of a 7 week embryo is 135. Heart rates of less that 100 show increased chances of miscarriage. Not all end in miscarriage, but several do. Please see this study for more info. http://radiology.rsnajnls.org/cgi/content/full/236/2/643

no its not normal, your baby needs nourishment, and if your not eating the right kinds of foods, you be one anemic and have low blood count or two eat the wrong kinds of foods becoming diabetic and gathering more water in your placenta then the baby needs and therefore need to change the way you eat or you may need insulin shots just to keep your sugars controlled. or possibly you miscalculated your late period. i just read that sometimes you can be carrying twins and the body somtime's absorbs the weaker one in order to protect the other healthy baby, resulting in more water in the placenta and thus the sac appearing larger. hope that helps.

3D ultrasounds work by sending sound waves down and around the fetus. The sound wave then bounce back up and are read by software which creates an image, because the sound waves go in more than one direction it allows the picture to be more enhanced and detailed than a regular 2D Ultrasound.

Cephal is Greek for head.

Yes, an ultrasound can be recorded with still images, or moving images as in what's known as a cine clip, which is similar to a short video recording. You can save the images to a CD, a video cassette, or a flash drive, depending on the capabilities of your machine. Many years ago, ultrasounds were developed in a film processing lab much like X-ray films still are today, but this method has been widely replaced by digital storage due to space, cost, and ease.

Most manufacturers want you to check trans fluid when it is hot and in park, but check your owner's manual to double check. If it's low when hot, add more. It's not uncommon for it to show above the full mark when cold. Some transmissions have a temperature regulated valve that opens when cold and dumps any fluid in that's stored in the side cover down into the bottom of the transmission. Then it closes when the trans heats up.

It really depends on the company as to whether or not you have to see their doctor. Some companies have their own doctors, but quite a few large, corporate companies do not have a specific doctor that you have to go to. So again, it depends on the companies policy.
