small belly at 18 weeks pregnancy, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

What is important: is the size of your uterus - not the size of your abdomen. Take care.

Question 2

how accurate is ultrasound done at 18 weeks pregnancy in determining baby gender if baby cooperate. gyn saif 100% boy. can he still be mistaken?

Accepted Answer

Always: Mistakes on gender using ultrasound are always possible. I have delivered an 18 weeks stillborn whose sex could not be determined by looking at the genitalia. About the best time for determining gender, realistically, is about 24 weeks by ultrasound.

Metronidazole is not: absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy, but should be used with caution. Make sure your doctor knows you're pregnant and discusses the risks and benefits.

Question 5

im 18 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and i was wondering if it was okay to take childrens nyquil ? i cant breath or sleep at all.

Accepted Answer

Should be fine: Talk to your doctor before taking anything so that they are aware. Best of luck!

Question 6

i am currently 18 weeks pregnant, and we have popcorn ceilings in the house. one of the children thought is was funny to rub the dust from the popcorn ceiling on my arm. i have also heard that popcorn ceiling is toxic. should me and my baby be okay?

Accepted Answer

: The toxic asbestos in some popcorn ceilings many years ago has been removed from more recent products. You could have yours tested. If the ceiling was painted at any time after application, it is less of a risk as paint locks it down. At that point it would be more of a risk to those who work to remodel &amp; strip the ceiling but not for those who live

Question 7

can i take airborne while pregnant, i'm 18 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: Generally we avoid supplements that are unproven to be effective and that have not been tested during pregnancy. Your symptoms of sore throat,  congestions,  body aches could indicate step throat, flu, allergic rhinitis and many other things. Get evaluated by your doctor so that an accurate diagnosis can be made first before taking medication

Question 8

use of mosquito coils safe? 18 weeks pregnant

Accepted Answer

Probably ok: Its probably safer than getting a bunch of mosquito bites and taking a chance on getting something like west nile virus.  I've not heard of any issues of women exposed to the coils.

Question 9

18 weeks pregnant how many months not to sure?

Accepted Answer

Think in weeks: We discuss everything about pregnancy in terms of weeks as it is much more precise than months. A pregnancy is 40 weeks (10 months) long from the first day of your last period to your due date. Most people don't find out until they're late for period or about 4-5 weeks along. I'd recommend you try to think in terms of weeks as that's how your provider will discuss your pregnancy.

Question 10

i'm 18 weeks pregnant when should i feel the baby move?

Accepted Answer

You can: For primigravida  the time frame for baby's movements ~ 18-20 weeks on average, and earlier for multigravida ~ 16-18 weeks.
