Question 1

30 weeks pregnant. can bending over at waist to pick up something off floor tear anterior placenta or wrap umbilical cord around babies neck?

Accepted Answer

No : Bending over has nothing to do with both of the situations ,but I will advise you avoid bending too much in pregnancy just to make sure you donot get any back nerve pinching or back pain problems

Question 2

im 30 weeks pregnant with twins, i used meth hard the first of my pregnancy before i found out i was pregnant, used lightly a few times after that, my last use was march 13th, i've gotten help for it but my question is will it be out of my babies?

Accepted Answer

: Since each pregnancy is different and each woman's body is different, there is no way to know right now whether the babies are affected. Meth use in pregnancy can result in premature birth, low birth weight and other problems. Glad you quit now. You should let your Dr know so that they can do a high level ultrasound to determine if there are any problems in the babies.

Question 3

how long is an infant protected from the flu shot given to a pregnant woman in the 3rd trimester? i got the 4 virus version.

Accepted Answer

Hard to be sure: The antibodies built during pregnancy are pushed into baby at a level higher per pound than mom retains. That said, all such antibodies begin to age out and become less effective with time. By 3-6 mo there is little if any left. Since there are always a few more flu strains circulating than the ones they can put in the vaccine, it is important to avoid exposure as the primary form of prevention

Question 4

im 30 weeks and 4 days i have the medicine to take for trichonomiasis will my baby have it when shes born?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: This is not a common infection  spread to the child if treated before birth. But studies have shown trichomanas infection could cause premature birth and low birth weight. So follow up with your doctor. Good luck

Question 5

im 30 weeks pregnant i weighed 7 something when i was born , my child weighed  7 pounds 9 ounces will i have a big baby?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: The size of your baby will be the product of many factors. The genetics of both parents, the quality of nutrient flow through your placenta, possibility of gestational diabetes, how long you carry the pregnancy and your general health for the balance of the pregnancy.

Question 6

hi 
i am almost 30 weeks pregnant and am experiencing a thick mucusy yellow discharge- does this mean i am dilating? if it does, does that increase the risks of my baby being born prematurely? is there anything i can do to prevent this?

Accepted Answer

Discharge is normal: Discharge during pregnancy is normal. Sometimes preterm labor is preceded with abnormal discharge. If you are feeling pelvic pressure or contractions, you should call your doctor.

Question 7

i read online that a study was done and that only 22% of extreme premature babies were found to be alive between 18-45. i was born at 28 weeks with tourettes and adhd. does this mean i only have a 22% survival rate?

Accepted Answer

: The "22% survival" refers to continuation of live birth after being delivered at a pre-mature state.  If you are "18" at present, your lifespan is subject to other conditions than pre-maturity.

Question 8

what are his chances of survival? they took him at 30 weeks because he flat lined and wouldn't move at all. his heart rate kept dropping. during the c-section they found that the placenta had started to tear. his heart is the size of a quarter. they found

Accepted Answer

This : This question is best answered by those physicians caring for your son. They are the most familiar with his particular circumstances of birth as well as his progress over the last 7 days.

Question 9

i had a premie born at 30 weeks tiny asd received 3 synergist shots she is now 4 months weighs 10 pounds. do you think she needs 4 more synergist shot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, synergis: "Your baby was born between 29 and 32 weeks, and will be 6 months or younger at the start of RSV season" fits your baby as criteria for synergis during peak RSV season which is fall through winter

Question 10

can stres stop my baby from growing at 30 weeks & 5 days?

Accepted Answer

No: If your baby isn't increasing in size appropriately it is usually either due to symmetrical or asymmetrical IUGR (intra uterine growth restriction).  If it occurs later in pregnancy its usually asymmetrical  and is mostly due to placental issues, maternal hypertension, maternal tobacco use and a couple other causes.  Most women have some stress during pregnancy, yet normal growth.
