is it ok for a pregnant woman to go two weeks overdue?

Question

Is it true that woman can go through pregnancy with only one or two symptoms?

Answer 1

Yes: If cervix is inadequate, there are no signs of fetal nonreassuring status you can go up to 2 wks over due date.

Answer 2

Yes: Yes, not only high thyroid state can affect the pregnant mother but also the unborn fetus. Check with your endocrinologist that you are on proper treatment and close monitoring.

Answer 3

It affects everyone: Graves' can occur in anybody so it can affect pregnant woman as well, however, pregnancy is an immunosuppressive state so it's possible that the graves' disease will get better during the pregnancy and get worst after the delivery.

Answer 4

Like another person: He can't discriminate against her because of her pregnancy (gender discrimination) and depending on the size of the company is bound by the family medical leave act to accommodate absences due to doctors appointments and recovery after delivery. Also there may be certain tasks that are pose more risks for the pregnant woman, and they should provide an accommodation for her.

Answer 5

Depends: It depends a lot on the state you live in. This is more of a legal question rather than a medical question, and the answer will vary a lot state by state. For example, in the state I practice in, there is currently no law requiring employers to make accommodations at work for pregnant women. Your OB may know the answer.

Answer 6

Varies with site: Both state & federal issues which can apply depending on the site of employment. In a small office or company with less than 50 employees, many such mandates may not apply. No small employer is required to offer employ you if you cannot perform the type of work that is part of your job. They are also not required to offer maternity leave or job protection. The specifics should be in the contract

Answer 7

They can leak: There are ways to improve safe use of appliances like microwaves. One is purchase from a reputable company. Another is to look for ul label. A kit might be available at the local hardware store or online to test a microwave for leakage. But the first step is to use other ways to heat if concerned or to stand at a distance when using a microwave in the home or workplace. See my health guide also :).

Answer 8

Eat your steak!: A pregnant woman can definitely eat steak, but it should be cooked all the way through. Some may think this ruins the steak. To have a steak that is cooked well-done but still tender, try a thinner cut.

Answer 9

Yes: A pregnant woman can eat steak.

Answer 10

Really?: I've never heard that. There is no medical reason, but perhaps because it can be difficult to get up if you are very pregnant and very large. Yoga during pregnancy is very popular and a healthy activity that i'd encourage any pregnant woman to do. Many of the postures take place on the floor.

Answer 11

Don't know: I am an ob/gyn practicing for 17 years and I have never heard that. I see no reason that there would be any validity to it.
