Vital information on ectopic pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (be-mine) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:52:00 +0000

What ectopic pregnancy? Extra-uterine can be defined as a body or a body part that exist in an unusual form or position. Ectopic pregnancy is one that grows in the wrong place. In an ectopic pregnancy, or the egg fertilized egg fails to descend through the tube to the uterus. Instead, it develops outside the uterus. The egg can attach itself to the fallopian tube, ovary, cervix, or any other agency within the body pelvis and abdomen. Most ectopic pregnancies immediately lead to a miscarriage, while others need medical care.

Reasons for ectopic pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancies occur in women with damaged fallopian tubes. A history of pelvic inflammatory disease, previous surgery, scar tissue, endometriosis, ectopic pregnancy or previous increases the likelihood of such a pregnancy. The chances of an ectopic pregnancy increases if you become pregnant while using a contraceptive coil-or progestin-only contraceptive pill. Even in vitro fertilizations are known to be ectopic despite the fact that the egg is placed directly into the uterus. The egg can attach itself to another location, leading to an ectopic pregnancy. Sometimes, women suffer the same without any of these risk factors.

The symptoms of ectopic pregnancy
The pain on one side of the abdomen is the first sign of ectopoic pregnancy. This pain is often severe and constant and starts suddenly. Pain in the shoulder, which intensifies when breathing and externally, is also a sign of ectopic pregnancy. The pain when using the bathroom may also indicate towards this type of pregnancy. Other symptoms of illness, diarrhea, light headache, pallor, collapse, falling blood pressure, and the unusual vaginal bleeding or periods.

Diagnosis
An ectopic pregnancy is often difficult to diagnose because symptoms are that of a normal pregnancy, such as tender breasts, nausea, frequent urination, missed period, and vomiting. However, if you notice signs of the above questions, you should consult your doctor immediately.
A urine test may not be a better way to detect ectopic pregnancy, but a positive result in a specialized blood test HCG will confirm this. An internal pelvic examination will reveal that the uterus is lower in ectopic pregnancies than in a normal pregnancy at the same stage of pregnancy. A swelling is also a sign of this type of pregnancy. An ultrasound is the safest bet when it comes to detect this type of pregnancy.

Treatment
Most ectopic pregnancy must be treated surgically or need medication. Without such medical intervention, pregnancy can turn fatal to the mother. With advances in technology, it has become much easier to detect ectopic pregnancy. Also, the treatment of such a pregnancy have improved, for example, surgery keyhole. Skills like laprotomy or laparoscopy can be used to remove the lost egg.

Future Pregnancies

The most widespread, however.

Your skin when you are pregnant

noreply@blogger.com (be-mine) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:49:00 +0000

As if you do not have enough to go through changes when you are pregnant. The skin, yes, it goes through many kinds of changes in itself. For me, most were unpleasant. Everyone told me to hang on, because I will not soon shine pregnancy, but of course for me, it never came.

These less-than-glamorous pregnancy symptoms such as acne, veins, pigmentation and several others are caused by the change of the hormone. This has certainly not helped the generally fragile state of most pregnant women body image. That is why a good pregnancy skin care is so important. So before you bury your head in the sand, find out what you can do to keep your skin looking as fabulous as you are.

Stretch Marks
Striae gravidarum, or stretch marks are probably the most discussed of the skin changes during pregnancy. Almost all women or fears thinking of them. They will appear in 50 - 90 of all pregnant women, usually showing up in the second half of pregnancy. While the majority will be on the lower abdomen, they can also be found on the thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts and arms. They tend to be pink-skinned, in the light of women, and women in dark skinned people they will be lighter than the surrounding skin. Striae are not painful, but the stretching of the skin may cause a tingling sensation or itching.

There are some factors that you should know contribute to stretch marks:

Family (If your mother or sister has them, guess what?)
Weight Gain (rapid or excessive will make these worse.)
Nutritional Status (Well healthy skin hydrated and stretches better.)
Ethnicity (African American women make less.)

Solution: Some people say that lotions or creams work and others do not think that it helps any. However, if there was a chance that it may work for you, so why not try it. The good thing about it is ultimately they do fade after you have the baby. The stretch mark will be bright as a scar. While most women do not think much about them, or to consider them badges of motherhood, others want them removed. There are new techniques and surgical procedures under review all the time. Talk to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon if you are interested.

Mask pregnancy
Melanotropin, also known as cloasma, is secreted in greater quantity during pregnancy, which can cause pigmentation to occur on the nose, cheeks and forehead of an expectant mother. While it is not caused by sunlight, this will aggravate the situation. 45 - 70% of women will experience at the beginning of the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy.

Solution: Chloasma disappear after delivery. Most women are used to cover this if it becomes a problem.

Acne
Thought it was gone for good? Think again, while many women find that the hormones of pregnancy relieve their acne and leave them with that "glowing" skin of pregnancy, many women find their skin more oily and susceptible to acne break outs.

Solution: Here's where high school appeals come into play ... Be sure you are actually drink plenty of water, wash your face, and to avoid things that cause you to exit. Basically do what works, but it should not be capricious. Remember, acne is temporary.

Spider Veins
These can appear most commonly on the face, neck, chest, arms and legs. They are due to the increased level of estrogen in your body. They are often star shaped and slightly raised. They are slightly blue and white do not turn to the pressure. 65 white females and 10 African American women will experience these.

Solution: These veins are generally boring after childbirth.

Linea Negra
This is a line extending from the pubic bone darker at the top of the uterus (responsible), most often appeared for the first time moms around the third month. Multiparous women (had more than one child) will often see it earlier. While all women suffer from this line, do not believe the rumors that it means a boy baby is on the way.

Solution: This usually disappears after birth when your belly is decreasing.

Palmar Erythema
A mottled or redness of the palms of the hands. This is caused by the rising levels of estrogen during pregnancy. About 60% of Caucasian women will experience this, with about 35% of African American women.

Solution: It's not really noticeable, and that will disappear after giving birth.

The treatment of an ectopic pregnancy

Complications include decreasing the likelihood of additional design, but it depends greatly on the extent of damage to internal organs. Futures pregnancies should only be considered after a consultation with a doctor.

The treatment options include

# Non-invasive Method chemical

# Surgery
If the ectopic nature of your pregnancy is detected in the later stages, with complications of pregnancy, then surgery may be necessary. Today, laparoscopic surgery less invasive method is widely used in the treatments. If a woman fallopian tube broke, and then, before developing complications of pregnancy, emergency surgery through an abdominal incision (laparatomy) may become necessary. In very rare cases, the doctor is able to repair the damage fallopian tube, which was removed in most cases. After surgery, there is a need for close monitoring of its HCG (pregnancy hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin). If this level does not show a zero reading, then additional surgery may be required for any on the sidelines of ectopic tissue.

Your chances of a future pregnancy depends on where we had implanted the egg. If both of your fallopian tubes are intact, then the probability of success of a future pregnancy is about 60%. However, if you have had an ectopic pregnancy, then the chance of a second increase. So doctors advise always to be aware of the symptoms, so that early treatment is done.

# Expectant Management
In a few cases, the treatment of ectopic pregnancy can be done through charge. This involves close supervision and constant surveillance, and no treatment. Charging is carried out in very few instances where it is anticipated that it will automatically adjust. However, until the condition to normalize completely, the risk of a rupture remains. Treatment of ectopic pregnancy undoubtedly exists, but why not try to prevent it and also reduce certain risk factors. This can be achieved by avoiding multiple sexual partners, use of condoms, while sexually. This will prevent STDs and reduce the chances of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease).

The Double Trouble - Twin Pregnancies

noreply@blogger.com (be-mine) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 15:42:00 +0000

Double Trouble '. No one in my family had twins, as you can image it was a great shock when I discovered I had two babies growing inside me at the same time. Remembering the day the doctor told us that always brings a smile on my face. As he was usual ultrasound during my 3rd month, "he says in a calm voice. "This is the heart of the baby," then moving on to another location ", and here is another baby heart." Just as I did then, I continue to stop breathing for a minute. Although I very excited also very scared. I did not know what to expect from pregnancy, childbirth, and oh my gosh how I was going to take care of two babies?

Nobody can really prepare you for twins, but I will try to help some.

Double the symptoms.
You probably ask yourself what the symptoms of pregnancy you. Most mothers of twins had the same symptoms as a normal pregnancy, simply multiply.

Double the Nausea. As I, many women suffer from nausea and vomiting increased called morning sickness. If you have severe vomiting and could not keep any liquids for more than 48 hours, you should contact your doctor. They may want to hook up an IV to keep you hydrated. The lack of moisture may complete the work before.

The dual dimension. Maybe not exactly double but certainly more important. Some symptoms of a twin pregnancy is a bigger belly. Expect to win is about 1 pound per week, or about 40 pounds for a twin pregnancy. Weight Gain for the same pregnancy is normally 25 pounds. You may want to eat healthy especially when carrying twins. You do not want too big. Too much weight can push forward the completion of work. Many women complain that the sleepless nights were multiplied to what at the time felt like a million times. Since your stomach will increase significantly larger than a normal pregnancy, you can expect to be quite uncomfortable.

Double movements. Yes, you can expect more movement. Many mothers of twins experience more movement than normal. You may experience a kick in the upper part of the stomach and at the same time as a behind your back. My four years and I used to love to lay on my back and just watch them go. "This is an earthquake in your womb" he said. It is normal for traffic to slow down later in the pregnancy, because there will not be much room for them to move. I strongly suggest watching a movie on a dual development in the womb. It is really amazing to see them interact. Also consider finding a 3d ultrasound video.

Double the Ultrasounds. One of my personal favorites. Ultrasounds are used more often in twin pregnancy to watch out for potential problems. A first ultrasound with binoculars is needed to establish the due date and see if they are growing in separate amniotic sacs. If they share the same bag, there are more risks and complications. Fortunately, it is a rare event with twins, only about 1% of all twins. Ultrasound is a great way to compare the size of the twins. A child may be slightly larger, but not too hopeful. Sometimes a baby will fly on the other.

Double the complications. Twin pregnancy run a much higher risk of premature labor. They are also at risk of low birth weight, gestational diabetes, hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, and the complications of childbirth.

Premature Labor. All that is premature to less than 37 completed weeks. Over 60% of all twins engage prematurely. Most of these premature births occur after 34 weeks, in which case all the long-term risks for babies are quite rare. The deliveries before 34 weeks, in particular those before 32 weeks, can result in low birth weight, and increasing the risk of permanent disabilities such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, vision problems or 'hearing. The best time for delivery of the twins is prior to the actual date. Keeping in until the maturity date may lead to more babies, but also increases the risk of placental complications, complications related to the workforce, and the complications associated with the delivery. The ideal time for the delivery of twins is 37 1 / 2 to 38 weeks of pregnancy.

Signs of premature labor include cramps, contractions, and menstrual pain, increased vaginal or pelvic pressure, which increases the lombalgies heavy vaginal discharge, patches or vaginal bleeding, rectal pressure. If you experience any of these signs, you should contact your doctor. Better safe than sorry.

Double delivery. The likelihood of you having a vaginal delivery with your twins is approximately 50%. For your doctor to consider a vaginal delivery both babies need to be upside down, the two should weigh more than 4-5 pounds and be more than 35-36 weeks of gestation. They must be of similar size and showed no sign of growth problems. No other complications of pregnancy should be present such as high blood pressure or low placenta. Twin deliveries usually occur in an operating room with the staff of loan at any time for an emergency Caesarean section. Twins born by caesarean section are generally both about 1 minute intervals. Many consider Caesarean section to be a better option for the twins since birth complication happens if they are better prepared. However, this is something you should talk with your doctor.

I experienced toxemia, often referred to as pre-eclampsia, which led me to an emergency Caesarean section. I was afraid of me, but when all is said and done, they wheeled me into the operating room at 34 weeks. 5 minutes after the epidural was given, my baby boys were born. The experience of each is different. Be sure to find a doctor you trust and who will keep you informed as possible.

Double the questions. Prepare now. Everyone will want to know are they?
The fraternal twins. Fraternal twins occur when a woman ovulates more than one egg per month. Two babies were born from the same pregnancy, which was fertilized by two sperm and two eggs. Fraternal Twins can be the same or opposite sex and will differ genetically and in appearance. Fraternal twins are alike as well as any other brother. Two-thirds are fraternal twins.

The identical twins. Medically identical twins occur when an egg splits during early embryonic development, resulting in two descendants of the same pregnancy. Identical twins are always the same sex, have the same genetic material, possess the same blood group, and are very similar physically. Only one-third of all twins are identical.

Do twins run in your family? When having twins, parents often find themselves subjected to questions about genetics and the birth of their twins. The twins, which run in families are twin brothers. Since the launching of more than one egg during ovulation is a trait that tends to be hereditary. Identical Twins from the same egg and do not run in families. There is no concrete link between a genetic heritage and identical twins because nobody knows when or why some eggs will split because of the twins, while others do not.

Do you feel uncomfortable or increased the level of insecurity after pregnancy?
Are you avoid discussing topics such as childbirth?
Does the response to the increasing number of shocks you after delivery?
Do you experience symptoms such nightmares, depression and anxiety?

If the answer to any one of these questions is "yes", then chances are that you are suffering from Post Pregnancy Response (PTR).

It is not unusual to have this problem, and it can result from a number of factors, such as hormones changed, or sudden increase in the level of thyroid after pregnancy. However, it should not be taken lightly. If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned above, you should immediately consult a professional for help.
