You have pains in your heart and left side of your chest and lower stomach what does this mean but it only happens once and awhile but can happen for long periods at a time?

Any chest pains should be taken very seriously and not left uninvestigated. The symptoms described can indicate heart attack. You should call for help immediately as doctors and ambulance staff prefer the possibility of a false alarm than the many cases they see where the person has ignored the symptoms and should not have. If it's a long term problem, still see a doctor.

HBT should be done with a good bowel preparation of the patient and fasting for atleast 8hrs. A water base-gel is apply to the to patient body to improve the transmission of sound beam, because without gel the air from the environment can easily detect by the transducer causing the transducer present some noise in the image. Air is the biggest enemy in ultrasound. Several pictures will be take to observe the liver, gallbladder and biliary tract. A transducer with varying positions can produce different section of images by means of fourier tranformation of the computer. Image interpretation is given by Sonologist,,,

My first ultrasound was done at 16 weeks and 2 day and I was woundering if a ultrasound done at that far along was acurrate in deteriming how far along you are or could it be off by like 4 weeks?

I'm assuming you wnat to know this because you are unsure as to who the father is? Please, forgive me if I'm wrong though. Ultrasounds can be inaccurate by a margin of about 2 days. There's no way they could be off by as much as 4 weeks though! Sorry, I hope things work out for you though!

Who do you trust when determining the gender of a baby the sonogram or the gender lab?

You can choose the gender of your baby even before pregnancy by following easy step-by-step instructions... there is a brand new all natural method out there that doesn't carry any of the risk or expensive cost of PGD (preimplantation gender diagnosis)... although PGD has 100% accuracy it requires you to go through with in vitro fertilization which many people have a problem with... you can learn more about the subject through http://genderinfluence.com

Is something wrong if you're 18 and this is your first pregnancy and you have spotted brown twice and went for an ultrasound and they told you the baby was 6w 4d developed and it should be 8 weeks?

Yes!!!! Something is seriously wrong. You should contact your doctor immediately and tell him everything that has been happening. Yes well obviously I went to the doctor already, twice, but i have to wait for two days for my next ultrasound. They could just be messed up on my ovulation days and i could have conceived later.

In what diet can you lose 5 pounds in one week?

Losing 5 pounds in one week is not only unreasonable, it is unlikely. If you watch the t.v. show The Biggest Loser you will see how much it takes to lose 5 pounds in one week. They are usually working out 4-5 hours a day, everyday, and have their diets monitored very strictly. If you do lose 5 pounds in one week it is probably all water weight and not fat. Check the scale in two weeks and see if your weight have balanced out. You will most likely gain back the weight you thought you had lost. As you exercise you will most likely gain a few pounds in muslce mass at first and then start to lose weight (fat) as you exercise more. Proper weight loss and exercise takes time and will not happen quickly. Set your goal for a 6 month period. Quick weight loss will not stay off for long. Most people who lose weight quickly will only gain back the weight plus more. Diet pills and gimics are the biggest culprits here. Dehydration is not a quick answer for weight loss. If you exercise too much, you will only gain more water weight back as you body fights to regain a normal state of hydration. This is the same with starvation. If you do not eat for a few days and then return to a regular diet you will most likely gain more weight because your body will store the fat quicker and more of it in the fear of you starving yourself again.

Being healthy and keeping a healthy weight takes a lot of effort and time. The younger you are, the easier it is. Keep in mind that patience is the one thing here that will take the weight off and keep it off. A balanced diet and proper exercise routine is key.

Can anyone explain how carrying your baby low in your cervix increases your chance of a miscarriage.?

You need to ask the person who told you the baby was low in your cervix, they are the best person to tell you. If your cervix is 'weak' it may open and you may miscarry. I think what you may have though is placenta previa, where the egg has implanted close to the cervix. As your uterus grows it stretches near the cervix and the placenta does not stretch so it pulls away from the wall of the uterus.

Plus size teen and pregnant when you will you see your baby bump?

I think it really depends on how "plus size" you are. My sister is 20-30 pounds over weight and she is only 3 months pregnant but you can already tell that she is. I think the bigger you are the longer who it will take to show. I am not 100% sure though.
