Question 1

is a fetus protected during pregnancy inside the womb?

Accepted Answer

To a great extent.: In utero life is largely sheltered and protected from external dangers due to its location and the placental defense barrier. It is not impervious to all toxins, however, nor to severe trauma or infections.

Question 2

is it normal to have minor cramps around the womb area during pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, some mild cramping during pregnancy can be normal. As long as you don't have bleeding, leakage of fluid, and your baby is moving normally, it's nothing to worry about.

Question 3

i want to know what is the reason of water in the womb during pregnancy i'm 27weeks?

Accepted Answer

Cushioning: Not only does amniotic fluid provide cushioning as a shock absorber, and insulation for the fetus, but the fetus actually "recirculates" the fluid by drinking it and urinating into that space.

Question 4

how does  amniotic fluid dry up in the womb during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Decreases amniotic : Decreased amniotic fluid level most commonly occurs due to rupture of membranes. Other causes can be due placental insufficiency or fetal renal anomalies. Your baby will continue to normally produce amniotic fluid by voiding. So the amniotic fluid does not dry up. Either less fluid is produced or more fluid is leaving than is produced.

Question 5

how much could smoking during pregnancy harm the baby in the womb?

Accepted Answer

Increased problems: The infant of a smoker will see their placental blood vessels age faster & start to shrink, reducing their blood flow & cutting their birth weight by 1/2 lb or more. They will have a higher risk of crib death, 2-3x as many ear & lung infections. They will grow up wanting to smoke because their source people do. Interesting legacy to give someone you are supposed to love.

Question 6

i want to know what is the reason of water in the womb during pregnancy i'm 27weeks. the nurse just described due to bad back pains i've been experiencing there's lots of water in the womb?

Accepted Answer

Amniotic fluid: Your baby is naturally growing in a fluid/water called the amniotic fluid. This is the right environment for its growth and development .

Question 7

is it possible for my baby to get shaken baby syndrome while in womb? during pregnancy? people tend to shake my belly to try to get my baby to move

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : Shaken baby syndrome occurs when significant forces are applied to a baby after birth. Your body's uterus and fluids are quite effective for prevention of most traumatic injuries to your unborn baby. Best wishes

Question 8

hi doc. can i hve frequent sex during pregnancy(24wks)? i can feel my womb shaking after orgasm. is it harmful to my baby pls? ?

Accepted Answer

Sex ok: You should be fine.  Sex at that stage is still acceptable.  An orgasm would not harm the growing baby.

Question 9

streptococcus milleri in the womb/placenta should this have been detected during my pregnancy? me and baby recieved antibiotic therapy but worried no

Accepted Answer

Strep milleri: This organism can be quite malignant, if in fact it is causing infection. It is not possible to tell whether its presence could have been detected earlier without more info on your symptoms and signs.  Hope that you and your baby are getting along well and will recover uneventfully from anything this may have caused.

Question 10

can a fetal doppler detect womb sounds, maternal heart beat, and umbilical cord (abdomen the size of a 26 week pregnancy) with a pseudo pregnancy.  ?

Accepted Answer

Fetal doppler...: ...Can detect any movement of blood in the body, but with a false pregnancy, all the doppler rhythms should be at the same rate as the woman's heartbeat. Fetal heartbeat tends to be much faster so if you find that, the pregnancy is probably real.
