Question 1

when will i be able to see and feel the baby kick in my wife's belly?  my wife can feel him kick but i can't.  she's 22 weeks pregnant with little guy

Accepted Answer

Few more weeks: When your child becomes a little stronger 25-26 weeks, you should be able to feel the kicks.

Question 2

how come it feels like i have a baby kicking in my lower belly, but i am not pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Gas: What you are experiencing is most consistent with gas.

Question 3

i can feel movement in my lower abdomen, i don't know what it could be because i had my period in february. surely babies don't kick at one month if it's a pregnancy ?

Accepted Answer

Fetal baby kicks...: The baby fetus can move, but nobody can feel it move until it grows bigger. Of course, you felt something, but it wasn't the baby fetus' movements. A pregnant woman may start feeling tiny flutters when the baby fetus grows older and bigger, usually around 4 months after conception. If unsure whether there is a pregnancy or not, one can do a home urine pregnancy test 3 or more weeks after sex.

Question 4

when can babies sleep on their belly?

Accepted Answer

Depends on age: There is a higher incidence of sudden infant death syndrome if babies sleep on their bellies than on their backs or sides.  It is recommended to prop them so they do not roll on their stomachs but when they get old enough to roll on their own yu can't help iit and then it is ok for them to sleep on their bellies!

Question 5

i delivared 2 babies through c sec in 2 years gap.both the c sections are done in same place(abdomen).why both will be done in same place?

Accepted Answer

Read on please: It is the decision of the OB usually, to minimize scarring, as long as you have  healed well. The C/S site is pretty standard on the abdominal wall and uterine wall. Scar tissue can affect healing. Do ask your doctor for further clarification. I am just giving you a general answer and guide. Good luck and stay well.

Question 6

i am feeling a lot of movement in my abdomen. it feels exactly like the movements if a baby. i have had four babies, but i don't believe i am preg.

Accepted Answer

Movement: just to be sure do an in home pregnancy test if that is negative then it could be gas

Question 7

my 7 weeks daughter have very bad colic one of my friend told me about infant belly binder.i have never heard about this before. is it good for bubs?

Accepted Answer

Waste of time/money: People have assumed that colic was related to the intestines (colon) as far back as the 1700&#x27;s with an original text of pediatric medicine. It has little if anything to do with digestion . If you want to try this, fine, but make sure you have had the kids doc rule out treatable issues like gerd, uti&#x27;s, etc.

Question 8

16 days old infant,  his embilical cord stub fell off when he was 4 days old. 10 days after it fell, his belly button started bleeding. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It happens: The blood vessels that went through the cord during pregnancy should pinch off and not drain after birth. Occasionally a remnant or some tissue remains that will ooze. Robust cleaning with isopropal alcohol will help it dry out the area so it stops. If this doesn't help have the doc evaluate.

Question 9

i hah an operation for a hernia in my belly button almost two years ago. they used mesh. my question is can i still have more babies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is why they reinforced the abdominal wall with the mesh.

Question 10

my babies umbilical cord fell off today(baby is 1 week old). do i put anything on it to help it heal faster?? the belly button is also outie.

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: The umbilical stump is made to fall off - after it does there is often very little needed to facilitate it completing its healing. You can use a small drop of liquid soap (not antibacterial) to aid in the remainder drying out - but if you do nothing it will likely be just fine! If it is not healed by the 2 week visit - your provider will take care of the rest.
