Pregnancy Symptoms: Seeking Medical Care

If a woman suspects that she is pregnant or has a positive home pregnancy test, she should make an appointment with a health care provider, which could be a doctor, an obstetrician (women's health specialist), a midwife, or a nurse practitioner. Early care (prenatal care) is essential for a healthy pregnancy.

A woman who is pregnant should call her health care provider if any of the following conditions develop:

Labor or rupture of membranes (leaking fluid)

Abdominal or vaginal pain

Bright red vaginal bleeding

Vomiting more than three times a day or vomiting blood

Severely elevated blood pressure (above 140/90)

Sudden and rapid weight gain

Severe headache or changes in vision

Severe leg or chest pain

Seek care in a hospital's emergency department if pregnant and experiencing any of these conditions:

Fainting

Vaginal bleeding through more than one pad per hour

Having severe pain in the abdomen or shoulder or the sensation of being about to pass out

Passing pink, gray, or white material from the vagina that does not look like a blood clot (The woman who is pregnant should take the material to the hospital.)

Having a bloody discharge or gush of water from the vagina late in pregnancy (The woman who is pregnant may be going into labor.)

Having a seizure but without a history of epilepsy (This may indicate eclampsia, a complication of pregnancy.)

Having an injury, such as a fall, a blow to the stomach or pelvis, or a car accident

Lower abdominal pain late in pregnancy may be labor pains, which are contractions of the uterus. The woman may try to drink a quart of water, lie on her side, and see if the symptoms resolve over two hours. If the symptoms do not resolve, she should see a doctor.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Ultrasound

A pregnancy ultrasound is a method of seeing the fetus and female pelvic organs during pregnancy. The ultrasound machine sends out high-frequency sound waves. These waves bounce off body structures to create a picture. How the test is performed: You will lie down for the procedure. A clear, water-based conducting gel will be applied to your skin over your abdomen and pelvis. The gel helps transmit sound waves. A hand-held probe is then moved over the area. Another method is performed with the probe placed in the vagina of the patient (transvaginal ultrasound scanning). This technique often complements conventional ultrasound techniques by providing better detail. Consult your health care provider to determine which technique is most appropriate for you. How to prepare for the test: A full bladder is necessary to get a good picture. Therefore, you may be asked to drink 2 to 3 glasses of liquid an hour before the test. You should not urinate before the procedure. How the test will feel: ...

Week 35: Doctors Appointment

Gambar
I had another doctor's appointment today; I am 34 weeks down (in my 35 week, hehe) and have another appointment in 2 weeks, then start every week until Baby H is born!!! Unfortunately, my husband was not able to come with me this time. This is the first appointment he hasn't been able to make :( Ah, well. For the most part, it was the same old, same old: Blood pressure (good), check heartbeat (good 130 a minute I think), measure uterus, and check where baby is. Baby H is head down now and she pointed out where her backside was (to the left, which baby H seems to like). She asked if we got a Ped doctor yet - I said yes, although I haven't actually filled the paperwork; we have a visit on Jan 18 where we get a tour of the office and ask questions. Note: What questions should you ask? They had a pretty good webpage and I guess I am going more to get a feel of their office and doctors... She asked if we did a birth class; I said no, what did she think? She is very ok (as was...

Week 21: Doctors Apt

Today I had my monthly doctors exam... I getting into the swing of things with these. I go once a month, they weigh me, check my pee, check my blood pressure, say hi, listen to the heartbeat (it always seems to take a few minutes to find this!), ask if I have questions and done! All in all, it takes only about 20 minutes maybe. Pretty quick! I am in a group practice for my OBY/ GN - I choose them initially because they are close to my house and the nearest hospital... of course, then I find that they only deliver at one that about 30 min away (no traffic), but I decided to stay with them. (they deliver at the further one because they prefer the staff and their epidural people... I have heard that if anything is 'wrong' with me or baby they would have to transfer me to this hospital anyways , so that's fine) Because it's a group practice, they want me to meet with all of the doctors before I give birth. The doctors rotate who is 'on call' at the hospital ...
