Question 1

what doctors to see for infection during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Depend on details: That would depend on who is taking care of the pregnancy, and what type of infection a patient is talking about. People can get an infection of some sort involving any part of the body. Sometimes, people have 2 infections at a time, such as a viral influenza infection and a bacterial middle ear infection. Details matter. If unsure, one can call her primary care doctor to ask about who to see.

Question 2

do doctors see a lot of patients with false pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Fortunately No: This condition is almost always psychiatric in nature.  So called pseudocyesis, occurs when a patient presents with the signs of pregnancy by history.  These signs however are generally not real and represent some inner need for the patient to be pregnant.  This is either conscious for secondary gain or unconscious in some psychological or psychiatric way.

Question 5

what do doctors say about swimming in lake while pregnant?

Question 6

how early can a urine test at the doctors detect pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

: It depends upon the type of test performed or ordered. Most urine pregnancy tests in the doctor's office can determine positive tests 3 to 5 days after a missed period. A blood quantitative  pregnancy test is very accurate at the time of the time just before a period is missed as it picks up and counts the level of the pregnancy hormone present.
