If your pregnancy is anything like mine were, you are probably exhausted... all the time. It is not at all uncommon to experience pregnancy fatigue. It seems only natural that sustaining two lives drains you of more energy than only dealing with your own. Having a fetus growing in your belly most certainly takes its toll on your body. Pregnancy fatigue is often accompanied by a multitude of aches, pains, and sore muscles. How you deal with these problems will often determine your level of pregnancy fatigue. Pregnancy fatigue is generally caused by your body adjusting to natural hormonal changes, and the added weight of carrying the baby. You may also...
My pregnancy calendar was invaluable when I became pregnant with my first child. I had little idea about the way a baby grew during pregnancy. I knew how it began, how long it would take, and even the options on how the baby would come out, but not much about the actual process. I found the pregnancy calendar online on the morning I discovered that I was pregnant. Having stopped dancing around with excitement, I wanted to know when the baby would be born. A quick internet search revealed several places where I could get this information, and having checked a few of them out, I decided that one looked like it would help me the most in my quest for information. At that time, I had no idea...
Imagine wishing and trying for one baby and ending up with two! Statistics show that there has been an increase in twin pregnancy the past few years and this short guide should answer any questions you have to giving birth to multiples! How do twins begin? There are two kinds of twins: identical twins and fraternal twins. In the case of identical twins, the egg is fertilized and then splits into two cells. Each cell carries identical DNA and so both children will look exactly the same with only slight differences such as height or birthmarks. Fraternal twins are not identical. Instead of having one egg that splits into two, there are two eggs that are fertilized by two...
Did you know that... symptoms of ectopic pregnancy typically include lower back, abdominal, or pelvic pain. The pain usually gets worse before it gets better and more often than not vaginal bleeding will occur. I am expecting my first child in March. I have to admit that I was very nervous about ectopic pregnancy and I did not know much about the topic. After doing some research I felt compelled to share what I learned about ectopic pregnancy with all expecting moms. The first thing we want to do is understand the differences between a normal pregnancy and an ectopic pregnancy. Understanding these differences will not only educate us on the topic, but it will help put that nervous nelly mind to rest! During a normal pregnancy the fertilized egg enters the uterus. The uterine lining gives the fertilized egg plenty of room to divide and grow (and make your belly big). During a typical ectopic pregnancy, the egg does not actually reach the uterus, but gets hung up in the Fallopian tubes. As the egg starts to grow this causes the tubes to stretch and get irritated. Typically you will feel extreme pain (you know your body and you will know the difference between this pain and expected pain). Ectopic pregnancy should not go untreated. If it's left untreated you're at risk of rupturing the Fallopian tube which would cause internal bleeding. So what causes ectopic pregnancy you ask? Is it me or something I did or did not do? Is it my lack of exercise? Is it my poor diet or my extremely healthy diet? No, no and more no! There are a few causes for ectopic pregnancy and I will list them here: 1. PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) have a HIGH occurrence of ectopic pregnancy. 2. Your Fallopian tubes have cilia (almost like hair)located on the surface that help carry the fertilized egg to the final resting area the uterus. Some women have damage to this cilia or even blockage of the tubes and this can cause ectopic pregnancy. 3. Tubal ligation can cause cilia damage. The problem is that treatment for ectopic pregnancy is to use tubal surgery which increases your risk for future occurrences. 4. High levels of estrogen and progesterone. These hormones can slow the egg down as it travels to the uterus. Infertility treatments can cause higher risk of ectopic pregnancies. Can ectopic pregnancy be treated? What are my options if I am diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy? There are basically two types of treatment for ectopic pregnancy. Nonsurgical treatment and surgical treatment. Nonsurgical treatment: Since 1993 the drug methotrexate has proven to help ectopic pregnancy if taken early on in the pregnancy. Methotrexate can interfere with the growth of the developing egg causing the cessation of pregnancy. Surgical treatment: If bleeding has already occurred, surgical intervention is necessary to stop blood loss and reduce the risk of your body going into shock. Most surgeons use laparoscopy or laparotomy for access to the pelvis and can remedy the affected Fallopian tube. Should you worry about ectopic pregnancy? Of course, what mother would not. Make sure you do not let every ache and pain make you think you're having one. Just remember the things I listed. If you conceived from fertility drugs that does not mean you will have an ectopic pregnancy, but you should monitor and pay close attention to the symptoms. This information is here to educate you and not scare you. Remember to enjoy your pregnancy and good luck with everything.
