Question 3

is 97.0 - 98.10 bbt ok during 6 weeks of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

BBT: Bbt should not be a concern in pregnancy at all. It is a concern in someone desiring to get pregnant. It plays no role whatsoever now.

Question 4

is it ok to exercise during the early stages of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and recommended: If you have been exercising regularly, it is advisable to continue but probably not "olympic-type" of training/exercising--too extrenuous. If you have not, then should start out slowly and increase as tolerated. It is recommended for you to keep as active as you can; eat well, take prenatals, exercise regularly, and follow-up with doc. Congrats and good luck.

Question 5

is it ok to lay on your back during pregnancy? i've heard its not but im unsure?

Accepted Answer

Blood flow: Early on, it's not a problem. As you get toward the end and the baby and uterus is large, laying directly on back can compress mom's blood vessels (aorta and vena cava), and with that can reduce blood flow to the placenta. So it's best those last 6-8 weeks to stay off direct back and blood flow is best laying on the left side.

Alcohol in pregnancy: As a physician, the recommendation is no alcohol during pregnancy. Would a glass here or there probably be okay once you are out of the first trimester?
