Can baby's in the womb contract coronavirus?
Fortunately, the fetuses/neonates of pregnant women who have contracted COVID-19 have not shown any significant adverse effects. So, babies born to women who had COVID-19 while pregnant seem to have no effect. READ MORE
What precautions should be taken after normal delivery?
These precautions are individualized. Depending on the delivery and pregnancy course, different precautions should be taken. You should follow up with your OB to familiarize yourself with any risks that you have based on your medical history. Breastfeeding is of course recommended. The other precautions will have to be tailored based on physical exam findings and blood results. READ MORE
Can contractions feel like sharp pains?
Yes, contractions generally feel like sharp pains in your belly that last about 30-60 seconds and then resolve. If they come and go more frequently then every five minutes, then you need to be evaluated by your doctor. READ MORE
Can I use other forms of contraceptive along with the pill?
Birth control pills alone are considered a safe and effective method of contraception and no additional contraceptive method is necessary in conjunction. You should consult with your doctor if you are dissatisfied with using pills and desire switching to a different form of contraceptive. They're are many available! Each have different side effects and advantages. READ MORE
What are some signs that labor is nearing?
Braxton-Hicks contractions are irregular contractions of your uterus that start in the third trimester. You will enter labor when you start having persistent, regular contractions and your cervix starts dilating. READ MORE
What do you do if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck?
Many babies are born with the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck and there is nothing a doctor can do to prevent that from happening. Fortunately, it does not have a significant risk to the baby. The doctor will reduce the cord during the delivery. READ MORE
Can endometriosis interfere with implantation?
Endometriosis is considered an immune-mediated process. Therefore, if you have trouble maintaining a pregnancy (meaning you get pregnant but miscarry very early), then you may have an immune disorder that is causing your miscarriages. Otherwise, endometriosis will not affect your chances of getting pregnant, unless you are using assisted reproductive technology and have a large endometrioma (a cyst on your ovary). READ MORE
Why can't I get pregnant after a miscarriage?
There are many reasons for why you cannot get pregnant, and I would need to get a detailed medical history and perform a physical exam and blood tests before I could answer this properly. I recommend you consult your OB/GYN. READ MORE
Which week is the baby fully developed?
At 37 weeks gestation, a fetus is considered full-term. A baby born before 37 weeks is considered preterm. However, there is a wide variation in prognosis of preterm infants that mostly depends on the gestational age. However, there are many other factors that come into play. READ MORE
What do I do when I get a positive pregnancy test?
This depends on whether you want to keep the pregnancy, of course. You should schedule an appointment with an OB. READ MORE
