Question 1

my baby is not moving as much at 39wk as earlier. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Call OB doc ASAP: As pregnancy progresses and nearing the end of pregnancy, there is less room for a baby to move, but if the decrease in activities is sudden, this is concerning. So, i would call your OB doc asap for instruction or go to er if you cannot get in touch with the doc...
Best of luck.

Question 2

my baby is very jittery and frequently makes sudden, quick movements. is this normal for an infant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes.  Infants outgrow this behavior around 6-9 months of age.  This is part of their normal neurologic maturation.

Question 3

i am 17, but since a year ago, i have been   acting like a infant.(movements)what is wrong with me? i knew everything when i was 15.i was normal then.

Accepted Answer

Behavior: I'm not exactly sure what you mean, here I see that you have some psychiatric history. I would see a doctor about these complaints. They may be part of your diagnosis.

Question 4

is it normal for my infant's bowel movements to be lightly colored?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Normally infant's bowel movements range from a light yellow or green to brown in color. This is quite dependent on the diet at the time. Once solid food is being introduced the color can vary day to day. If the stool is very pale (very light yellow to white) with any consistency it is important to have your infant examined by your pediatrician.

Question 5

is it normal for my infant (4weeks old) who is breastfed to have 10-12 bowel movements a day and he cries and seems to be in serious pain?

Accepted Answer

Pain isn't normal: It is common for some breast fed babies to have a bowel movement with each feeding (sometimes, just small squirts). As long as it is soft, not hard balls, it is usually normal. But, if your baby really seems uncomfortable and cries excessively, he should be checked by his doctor.

Question 6

when my 8 month old infant exerts himself tiring movements then he has a wheezing sound to his breathing, it does not slow him down though.. he keeps going for long periods and the breath normalises almost as soon as he relaxes, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Many conditions: Many conditions may cause this sound and infants may develop asthma at this age. 
Other causes include narrowing of the airway(s) or malformations which impinge on the airway. Choking and a foreign body lodged in the airway is another consideration.
Please consider a virtual appointment, inbox consult with Healthtap and follow up with your PCP.

Question 7

i am 28 weeks pregnant with twins, i'm having a severe  back pain and pelvic pain, do i need to go and see the dr or is it normal. the babies are very active , i feel lots of movements.

Accepted Answer

GYN exam: Seems most likely related to the pressure of the twins on your uterus and lower back, usually, normal; however, I suggest a GYN exam.

Question 8

should i be worried about how forceful and sporadic my babies moves are as long as she is moving 10x an hour or more? im 28 weeks

Accepted Answer

No: Babies move differently at different times when in utero.  You may notice more movement at night or when you lay down.  They can even get hiccups.  Don't worry, as long as she is moving everything is fine.

Question 9

why is my 9month old so active? ever since she was an infant, she has been very active.moving all the time, wont hold still at all..dr says she's fine.

Accepted Answer

Maybe normal : An extremely active 9 month old may be normal, or the hyperactivity might be an early sign of a neurodevelopmental problem. If it persists, discuss with pediatrician at every visit.

Question 10

my infant has a rash on his back and neck , always itches and is moving to his face and head?

Accepted Answer

Description/exam: Baby rashes vary from self healing baby acne to severe medical conditions. To properly label &amp; treat requires more information. Babies age, rash color,texture,raised vs flat, etc. all are data needed. Most will require a direct exam unless the description provides a better understanding of the cause.
