Question 1

how can i lose excess belly fat during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Belly Fat Pregnancy: Restricting your diet and a sedentary lifestyle during pregnancy are not what you should strive for. You should not be concerned about belly fat during pregnancy, only with maintaining a healthy diet for you and your developing child. Ask your obstetrician for a nutritional consult as soon as possible. With guidance from your doctor you can continue to excercise also.

Question 2

after my pregnancy, i've gained a lot of weight especial my belly is too big, what will i do to reduce my belly fat. should i stop using a depo?

Accepted Answer

Basics: You lose weight by consuming less calories than your body burns off/day. A bulging belly is likely the result of looser abdominal muscles that stretched out during pregnancy. Fat excess attaches to internal organs like the intestines when it doesn't stay outside. You can firm the belly with specific exercise &amp; try a low carb diet. A visit to a nutritionist can help you get started.

Question 3

can you tell a difference between a baby bump and belly fat? i'm worried i'm pregnant. negative pregnancy tests. lost 12 lbs but gaining belly fat

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Core: You can start with core strengthening exercises and don't forget to reduce your calories...Try low carb/ low fat diet
good luck.

Question 5

painful side of abdomen  during 6month  pregnancy left side what causes it?

Accepted Answer

Uterus growing: Pain in the abdominal region during pregnancy is a common complaint, as the uterus grows it can cause some discomfort.  If the pain is accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever, spotting or bleeding, vomiting or any discomfort during urination, calling your obstetrician is the best call of action.  Drink plenty of fluids, change position and cure constipation.

Question 6

my belly is measuring 30 cm during my pregnancy how many weeks am i? how is measuring and weeks the same?

Accepted Answer

Measuring is a rough: Estimate of weeks gestation, so 30 cm is normal for 30 weeks but the best way to check if there is a problem or question of size or dates is to get an accurate OB ultrasound to measure the baby.

Question 7

light abdomen pain during early pregnancy is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Don't think so...: Abdominal discomfort during pregnancy is not to be ignored--its a warning sign that something may be wrong.  Please see my many healthtap answers on the subject of what causes abdominal pain. Not all such problems are serious, but you don't want to miss the problem that is. Give your gynecologist a call please ; get checked.

Question 8

during pregnancy, when is it a must to avoid laying on the right side? and can propping belly on a pillow be ok to lay on right side?

Accepted Answer

Mainly during labor: Avoiding the right side is mainly used during labor when there are fetal heart rate abnormalities as a tool to increase blood flow to the placenta. This labor maneuver has now been adopted as a recommendation throughout pregnancy without much scientific evidence to support it. You may adjust with pillows in whatever way is comfortable for you

Question 9

my belly button has popped out during my pregnancy. now it's four months after i delivered  but why still my belly button didn't  go inside.?

Accepted Answer

Longer leash: Before your pregnancy, your belly button was tacked down on the inside to a ligament (which used to be the umbilical artery and vein) from your umbilical cord when you were born. The degenerated artery and vein- now ligament- delivered blood to your liver.
During your pregnancy that ligament stretched and probably tore so that the internal pucker is no more.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: most likely you are feeling the baby move ( or it could be gas)
