Question 1

im 13 weeks and 4 day pregnant i have a medium sized hemerage and i bleed for 8 days and it has stopped now is this a good sign?

Accepted Answer

Call your Doctor: Bleeding in pregnancy is never a 'good' sign. Please contact your OB urgently.

Question 2

regular period, not on time this month had unprotected sex yesterday, medium flow bleeding today. possibly pregnant? when is good time to take test?

Accepted Answer

Wait till next month: If you had sex yesterday, a home pregnancy test will most likely not be positive for 4 wks.  Possibly 3 wks, but they are not 99% accurate till your first missed period. If you can't wait that long to find out, you can see your Dr for a blood test that can detect pregnancy much earlier.

Question 3

what are the chances of a medium sized subchorionic hematoma resolving and ending in a normal pregnancy? i am currently 7 weeks 6 days pregnant. i had my first prenatal visit 4 days ago and everything looked good. two days ago after getting out of the sho

Accepted Answer

To : To answer your questions:  yes, there is a chance it will resolve on its own.  There is definitely a chance of a miscarriage.  With a medium sized subchorionic hemorrhage, your changes of a successful pregnancy are most likely around 50-50, but I have definitely seen it happen.  A subchorionic hemorrhage does not necessarily put you at any greater risk of placental abruption, which is a different medical condition.

You have done everything correctly.  Be sure that you know that this is a random occurrence and just one of those things that happens for no reason.  I will wish you the best.

Question 4

i recently found out im pregnant, my first appointment is in 3 days. i am roughly 11-12 weeks along, and im scared because i wasnt taking any prenatals prior to finding out, nor was i eating well. what are the chances my baby will be ok?

Accepted Answer

: Pretty good. Hundreds of generations were brought into this world before we understood the value of prenatal vitamins and nutrition on pregnancy. Concentrate on what you can do now and don't worry about what you can't change. I'd give a 1/20 chance of an unexpected outcome, but that is the same for all pregnancies today.

Question 5

eating raw rice during pregnancy is good or bad?

Accepted Answer

It expands: Eating raw rice is probably not the cleanest idea and since the cooking process kills off germs. Also it expands a lot when it absorbs water in your stomach and could make you feel quite ill. I recommend cooking it first.

Question 6

do you think will be healthy? i found out 3months ago that im pregnant and i was in a household who smoked cigareets well now i moved in with my mom and eating better and not around smoke.

Accepted Answer

I : I am glad to hear you moved to a healthier environment. I do not think you should worry. The effects of second hand smoke on a pregnant women are far less compared to you actually doing the smoking. Continue to live a healthy lifestyle and take the vitamins as prescribed by your doctor. 
I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Question 7

is eating of carrot good for pregnant woman?

Accepted Answer

YES: All vegetables are healthy and carrots are among the healthiest- see http://whfoods.Com/genpage.Php?Tname=foodspice;dbid=21
for more about their many benefits. 
It is important to make healthy food choices during pregnancy and carrots are an excellent choice.

Question 8

is handling or eating parsley during pregnancy good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Food and pregnancy: Neither. It is just normal and of no concern.

Question 9

hi, i'm 3 months pregnant & eating a lot of crisps e.g.lays these days, they counteract my nausea 100% & make me feel good, are they awfully bad for baby?

Accepted Answer

Seems fine: The amount of recommended weight gain during pregnancy is dependent on your pre-pregnancy weight and body mass index, but is generally in the 25 to 35 pound range. As long as you are gaining weight at an appropriate rate as determined by your ob, the potato chips that soothe your nausea should be absolutely fine and in fact i would encourage them if they allow you to eat an otherwise balanced diet.

Question 10

i know undercooked or raw meat is risky during pregnancy because it carries bacteria. is a steak safe to eat medium because all the bacteria can be found on the outside of the meat, which is fully cooked?

Accepted Answer

Contaminated meat: Undercooked or raw meat is no more risky or dangerous during pregnancy than at any other time. In general, whole meat that is cooked enough to sear the surface protects against bacterial infections, so even very rare or virtually uncooked meat is safe. Ground meat (e.g. hamburger) is a different story, because surface bacteria can be present throughout. Cook burgers at least to medium pink.
