Question 1

please tell me what are natural ways for preventing pregnancy (natural birth control)?

Accepted Answer

Abstinance: Abstinence is the only 100 % effective natural method of birth control. Conception has occurred on any day of a womans cycle, including during menses, so timed intercourse is not dependable.The semen contain sperm at all points during sex, so the withdrawal method is also unreliable.Timing and withdrawal reduce pregnancy risk some but you must plan for them to fail eventually.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

"Natural" pregnancy: Natural methods of contraception usually result in pregnancy as ovulation can be unpredictable in methods such as the "rhythm method" There are so many  reliablechoices for contraception today varying from barrier to hormonal to chemical. Find one that works for you in conjunction with your MD and avoid unintended pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Stay hydrated: It may not always be possible to prevent these symptoms. Drinking plenty of fluids, eating small, frequent meals and getting plenty of rest may help minimize symptoms. Treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy includes home remedies like ginger ale, tums, vitamin B6. Prescriptions include Zofran and reglan (metoclopramide).

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: There are a variety of hormone free contraceptive methods available. Non hormonal contraceptives include the Copper IUD, Diaphragm, Male Condom, spermicidal gel, female condom. Talk to your local doctor or family planning clinic to explore these options.

Question 6

is a natural toothpaste made of baking soda, sea salt and organic  coconut oil effective in preventing tooth problems during pregnancy. ?

Accepted Answer

Dental Hygiene: Excellent dental hygiene including regular brushing 2 or 3 times per day, flossing ideally everyday and regular checkups will help keep you healthy during pregnancy. Due to the change in hormones, the gum tissue can swell and get inflamed. I would recommend at least 2 cleanings during the pregnancy, at the beginning and sometime toward the 5th or 6th  month.

Question 7

will applying olive oil on belly during pregnancy prevent stretch marks? any other natural remedy?

Accepted Answer

No: Stretch marks in pregnancy are mostly genetic. Moisturizing the skin can help keep it healthy but your genes are the most important factor. Olive oil will not help any more than normal lotion

Question 8

10 weeks pregnant. progesterone level was 12 so i am taking 200 mg of progest. daily. if pregnancy is non viable will the supplements prevent your body from naturally miscarrying. hcg has been good.

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Sufficient progesterone in its natural form is vital in preparing the uterus to allow the embryo to implant securely.  However, after about 12 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta takes the job of maintaining the pregnancy and progesterone supplement is no longer needed,  The fact that you have normal HCG is a sign that the pregnancy is proceeding normally.  At next visit, a heartbeat can be detected

Question 9

what's to be expected? might tubal pregnancies prevent or lessen your chance of having kids in the future?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A tubal pregnancy is often detected when it outgrows its small compartment & causes acute belly pain. Treatment is focused on saving mom's life during a period of volatile blood pressure changes & need for emergency surgery.The tube is usually removed, leaving only one left on the other side.

Question 10

i have had two molar pregnancies, is there a way i can prevent a third one?

Accepted Answer

No: I am sorry to hear about your complicated history.  Having two molar pregnancies is difficult.  As far as i know there is no way to prevent a molar pregnancy.  I will say however that your chances of having a normal baby are still good.
