Im 38 weeks pregnant, will a exercise ball help me go into labor? What are the chances of a membrane stripping at 39 weeks work also.
Bouncing can help: You could also do pretend jump roping for a total of 60 minutes a day in 10 minute sessions. Eating eggplant can be a help. Stripping membranes is not a good idea unless the cervix is effaced completely and beginning to dilate since it can cause rupture of the membranes and a need to deliver in 24 hours to prevent infection. ...Read more

My 1st pregnancy at 28 weeks i was effaced 90% 3/4 dilated put on bed rest. With this 2nd pregnancy will i be dilated faster and have the baby early?
Preterm birth: No you won't dilate faster with another pregnancy. If you delivered prematurely, you most likely will be counseled that use of a Progesterone injection given weekly will decrease your risk of another premature delivery. Bed rest doesn't prevent a premature delivery. ...Read more

( no history of bleeding disoroders, platelet problems etc) and good general health and no history of reactions to local anesthesia in the past ( ie during dental procedures).

I went to the dr at 3 weeks due to light bleeding they said my hcg level was at a 6 testing through urine sample does that mean I'm losing the baby?
Incomplete info: Blood HCG level of 6 is not consistent with pregnancy. Rather than losing the baby, it is more likely that you were not pregnant to begin with. It would be prudent to see your doctor for repeat blood HCG and may be an ultrasound examination. Wish you good health. ...Read more

I suffered pprom at 16 weeks in my twin gestation and lost my boys at 25 weeks. In my next pregnancy should my cervix be stitched/sewn?
Not necessarily.: It depends on your other obstetrical outcomes too; your history does not mean you have an incompetent cervix that merits cervical cerclage placement. I am sorry you had such a bad outcome with your previous pregnancy, however if you have a singleton pregnancy next time your risk should be back at baseline (11-12% for the U.S.). Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily from now on to prevent sptd. ...Read more

Yes: Best for your mental health to focus on having a good pregnancy and look for the positive signs- trying to make a quality judgement on the strength of a fetal kick will make you crazy. If you feel a fetal kick it counts ...Read more

Not Unusual: It is not unusal to measure a week or two ahead at your stage of the pregnancy. It is ok to check now if you would like to have the cervix checked for dilatation. Providers , including midwives , do not like to intervene until 39 weeks unless there is a reason too. ...Read more

How doctor determine the minimum rate on my pacemaker? at the beginning, my base rate is 60 bpm, but then changed to 70 bpm. Why?
Depends: In general the rate of the pacemaker is set depends on the condition that requires the need for the device .So if the heart is slow causing symptoms then it is set at a higher rate than the baseline ,and can be adjusted as needed. Or if the slow heart predisposes to frequent premature beats or attacks of rapid heart beat then it is set even higher.The rate it is set is arbitrary and changeable ...Read more

If im taking a pregnany test at the doctors and pee some of my urine into the toilet then.into the cup will the results screw up?
No prob: You may have been asked to provide a "mid-stream urine specimen" on a previous occasion, when the doctor was making sure you didn't have a bladder infection. This technique washes out the urethra from contamination and gives a more accurate answer. If you're checking for pregnancy, initial-, mid-, or late-stream urine doesn't matter; because the pregnancy hormone HCG is all mixed in there. ...Read more

If my babys head is in the cervix at 33 weeks , how many weeks do you estimate her arrival will be?
?: No way to know with any certainty. I interpret what you mean that the baby's head is in the pelvis. If this is the case, it is a little early, an ultrasound can tell your doctor if the cervix is beginning to thin-out which is more important and is a risk factor for early delivery. ...Read more
