which is the baby's heartbeat on the sonogram?

Question

I saw my babies heartbeat on a ultrasound at 7weeks, does that mean my chances of miscarriage are really low now?

Answer 1

Thing Moving Fast!: In an early fetus of 7-8wks the heart is inside the fetal chest and shows a rapid flickering of about 130 beats a minute. As the fetus grows, more of the heart anatomy becomes visible and it is possible to see motion of the 4 cardiac chambers. Ask the sonologist to point out the heart.

Answer 2

Yes: Babies who are passing hard, formed stools and seem to have pain with stools may be constipated. Frequency of bowel movements is usually not important, if the stool is soft and the baby has no pain or straining. See your pediatrician if you suspect your baby has pain with bowel movements or if you see blood in the stool.

Answer 3

Yes: It is possible but not likely. Constipation in babies is only defined by how hard the stools are. Rock hard pebbly stools = constipation. Soft stools (no matter how much straining the baby has, or how often he/she poops) = normal baby poop. Babies may poop 4-6 times a day or as few as once a week and still be normal. Soft = good, rock hard = constipation.

Answer 4

Yes: Any baby can become constipated. Constipated means the poop is not coming out easily (and probably staying inside the baby too long). In babies, poop need not be firm lumps to get "stuck". Sometimes the poop is like very soft clay, but still takes too much effort to push out . . . . This is still "constipation".

Answer 5

Yes: Yes, your baby could be constipated. Breast-fed babies rarely get constipated, but formula-fed babies can get constipated if they over-feed. The quality of the stool is the best way to judge it. Turn one of your baby's poopy diapers upside-down (this works best over your bathtub). If the poop falls out easily, your baby likely is constipated. Give some water or pear juice to your baby to help.

Answer 6

Use Nursery water: Nursery water is distilled water that is also fortified with a small amount of Fluoride (you can also get Fluoride free variety). This water is purified for drinking by babies and does not contain harmful bacteria, parasites, or heavy metals that can be found in city/tap or well water. Should be used until age 12 months.

Answer 7

Diluted or distilled: If you have tested your well water and consider it okay for you to drink, it is okay for baby. If you worry about any contamination then bottled water would be worth the investment.

Answer 8

Exposure: Waiting simply allows them further exposure to the diseases. And having a current epidemic of whooping cough(pertussis) where i practice, your child has an increased risk of serious disease and even death by waiting.And the shots are a much safer risk than taking a chance on getting the disease!

Answer 9

Protection: The younger the child usually the more detrimental the illnesses are that we protect against for example we are starting to see a lot of pertussis again older children and adults get bad coughs lasting many weeks an un immunized baby can die from pertussis which is part of the DPT immunization same with the meningitis shots.

Answer 10

There isn't: The other info here is correct and there are more pertussis infections lately. It is worse in the very young although they are not protected from vaccines until after the third one at 6 months. It is possible to wait til older. As long as you as a parent are comfortable with waiting and understand the risks on both sides. ...Giving or waiting. Follow your instincts for your child.

Answer 11

Difficult to say: It usually requires 3 values to fully determine a pattern. Since 10 days a hve passed a repeat ultrasound may be helful. Please discuss this with your ob. The values need to rise at least 60% in 48 hours. It does not need to precisely double in that time.

Answer 12

Biologic variation: Not many women get pregnant at the age of 52, so the usual test results and hormonal changes may not be entirely applicable to you. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Answer 13

Don't do it: Shaving hair, any kind does not make it grow back faster, this is indeed an old wives tale. But please do not touch the lanugo it will go away and would be afraid of any potential harm to shaving a baby.U only have lanugo once. Embrace it.
