Asked by Chris about 11 years ago

As long as she is hydrating well and is conditioned to work out at this intensity, exercise should not interfere with a healthy pregnancy.

How can I get an ultrasound to diagnose a pregnancy with the pregnancy test being negative?from my research, It is becoming more common with being pregnancy with negative preg test. blood preg test number was 2, I know I am pregnant

Asked by maka almost 11 years ago

I would recommend you wait a few days and then repeat a pregnancy test or call your physician and request a blood test for pregnancy. Ultrasound is not the first-line method to diagnose a pregnancy because you may not see the pregnancy until you are at least 6 weeks along.

We spent 2 weeks in cuba with my wife and took the sun a lot. She was 8 weeks pregnant. She took a sun burn but took folic acid and wear sun screen. Her belly was sometimes very hot. We are worried now for brain development for the baby. Thanks

Asked by Jerome almost 11 years ago

While hot tubs are not advised during pregnancy, radiant heat from the sun is not likely to be damaging to the fetus.

My doctor told me my baby had a EIF on his heart during ultra sound. Are the chances of down syndrome high? I had no quad screening done, but have 2 very healthy pregnancies before this one. Also i am 23yrs old

An echogenic intracardiac focus does slightly increase the risk of a Down Syndrome baby. You should discuss this further with your physician. There are genetic tests that are available to you want more information.

Asked by Cy almost 9 years ago

You should speak to your physician about this. Sex can trigger mild cramps, but if they are severe or persisting, then you should discuss this with your doctor.

I went to a gynecologist and he wrote: external genitala multipara, although I have given birt to just 1 child. What medical signs on my external genital made him think that I had more than 1 child?

Asked by Ann about 9 years ago

I can only infer that he actually meant to say "parous" rather than multipara. There is no reliable visible external cue to determine whether a woman has had more than one baby, although there may be subjective signs that a woman has delivered at least one baby vaginally.
