Ear disease: Most dizziness comes from subtle ear diseases that your primary doctor may not have the equipment to detect. Most conditions are easily treatable. Visit an ENT doctor fr an exam.

could my baby be kicking already? i'm only in my second trimester of pregnancy. 20-25 weeks. i keep feeling these bumps coming from my stomach and the skin is bumping up too. i got told that the baby does not start moving till the third trimester. if that

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello.  Congratulations on your pregnancy.  You may be feeling your baby kicking.  Quickening is when you first feel the baby kicking.  It is not uncommon to feel your baby between 16 to 22 weeks.  Sometimes it is hard to tell what is going on. Was that gas or was that the baby?  You should be able to feel the baby's movements more vigorously as your pregnancy progresses. The baby is moving well before your third trimester. It can be moving around by the 7th to 8th week, but you would not be able to feel it that early. Take care.

Question 3

i have this uncomfortable feeling on my pelvis, where my paint line is. it feels like a swelling or a ball inside my skin. no serious pain yet, just a bit of discomfort. i had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured september 2017.

Accepted Answer

Sore along pant line: Lymph nodes are in that area. If you do not have a pelvic infection then you may have a sebaceous cyst in that area that is irritated. Hot compresses may help calm it down. Have your doctor check it out for you.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Might be anemic: You might still be anemic after your baby, you should get checked out.

Question 5

during my last 2 pregnancies every time i am around fluorescent lights i get a fuzzy feeling in my head , tingling in scalp, and pressure in face.

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible: After years as a family practice physician, I still am amassed at the variability of a human body.

You description of symptoms are just another example.

This is not harmful to you but is just one of the things that make you a unique person.

Question 6

why does your skin sag after pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Loss of elasticity: As the skin expands to accomodate the growing pregnancy, it will lose some of it's elasticity.  Every woman is different and therefore will be affected by this differently.  Somewhat obviously, the larger the baby, or with multiples, the skin will stretch more and this may ultimatley result in more sagging.

Question 7

how can i effectively treat bad skin during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Acne w pregnancy: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day ; use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Exfoliate occasionally. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise.  If &gt; mild acne see dermatology.

Question 8

what beauty products for skin care can be used during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Avoid retin a (tretinoin): Most cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens are appropriate as well as over th counter acne medicines. Hair dye is controversial whether it should be used in pregnancy. Prescription creams such as retin a (tretinoin) differin and epiduo and tazorac should not be used during pregnancy.

Question 9

so by my daughters head being small (in size) is there any possibility that it will grow at normal size later on in my pregnancy? help and add details

Accepted Answer

Depends: Without more information it's hard to answer you - the baby's gestational age and your medical history are needed to be able to start to answer that question, and then ultrasounds would need to be followed over time. I suggest you see an OB to get the information you need to answer the questions properly

Question 10

can pregnancy cause dry skin?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Pregnancy causes many physical and hormonal changes. The thyroid gland is supercharged and may become somewhat depleted causing dry skin
