Avatar f tn No its not especially in the first trimester. Rapid development of babies major organs, brain and spinal cord happen in the first trimester. I hear some women have a small glass while pregnant personally I wouldnt but if you were to you should wait at least until the middle of the second trimester. Ask your doctor. It is currently not recommended that any alcohol be taken in while pregnant since FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome) is not completely understood on when and how it all happens.
Avatar n tn Bone structure starts in the first part of the second trimester. Its not at all uncommon for babies to not have bone structure in the first trimester. I would not be so hasty to terminate. Give it a couple months to see what progresses of the pregnancy!!!!!
Avatar n tn (Gestation is 266 days or 38 weeks of development). So either way you look at it you are in your 3rd trimester!
Avatar f tn This is my second baby and with my first it never even crossed my mind to indulge in a drink so i kinda feel bad. But if i can have an occasional glass of red wine and it not be detrimental then id like to. Im full time working mom and its nice to really relax sometimes.
Avatar n tn yes but they wait until your second trimester if at all possible because the first trimester is the most important for fetal development.
Avatar n tn It seems that every ultrasound I have had in second trimester has measured my little guy differently. Sometimes he is right on according to dates, other times way ahead, etc. That is why they only use the early ultrasounds for dating purposes and don't change your due date based on later ultrasounds. I highly doubt there is any problem with your baby, they all grow at their own speed. Congrats, your getting close...!!
216278 tn?1308861082 which if you are 24 weeks you are in your sixth month, second trimester. Everything I have read says the seventh month, 3rd trimester begins at 27 weeks. Pregnancy counts as 40 weeks, not 36 weeks. I jut learned that once i became pregnant so you aren't clueless.
1310824 tn?1332377629 From 27 weeks on the fetus finishes development and prepares for delivery. Here the second trimester begins at 12w 0d and the third at 27w 0d. by Gestation: With this method you take the 40 weeks of gestation and divide by three. Here the second trimester begins at 13w 3d and the third at 26w 6d. by Conception: This method is where you take the 38 weeks of post conception development, divide by three, and add two weeks. Here the second trimester begins at 14w 5d and the third at 27w 3d.
Avatar n tn That throughout the first trimester, the number of Type 1 and Type 2 lobules rapidly increase, resulting in the breast having more sites for cancer to start. In the second trimester, the lobules start maturing into Type 4 lobules, which are cancer resistant. By the end of the third trimester, 85% of the breast has fully matured.
Avatar f tn Yes, I've read the same data. Several different articles. I haven't asked my dr either. When I went and got a massage last week my massage therapist said her midwife told her the same thing, one glass a day was okay. I'm still unsure myself. I had a friend who lived overseas and she said the women/people in Europe are more excepting of it. So, talk to your doctor but a few glasses in the third trimester will not have the baby being born with fetal alcohol syndrome.
Avatar f tn Lol I know I just thought it was funny that this app says were still in the first trimester:) this is our fourth baby how about you what #
475489 tn?1223948282 Conception Another mathematical method where you take the 38 weeks of post-conception development, divide by three, and add two weeks. Here the second trimester begins at 14w5d and the third at 27w3d. Hope this helps Brandi 22.
1428239 tn?1333457053 OH yay im in my third trimester...
800427 tn?1324945719 This method is where you take the 38 weeks of post conception development, divide by three, and add two weeks. Here the second trimester begins at 14w 5d and the third at 27w 3d. I think I'll go by Development..
Avatar f tn Someone I know was leaarning fetal development in med school as I was going through my first trimester and I was told that was the most critical point in brain development. So my vote is no.
Avatar f tn Well I asked my Dr and he said I beer or glass of wine a week in the first is fine and second trimester 2 a week and third you can have one glass of wine with dinner whenever... I went by those rules last pregnancy and my son is just fine but I know people freak out about all kinds of things so idk... It's up to you..
Avatar m tn The amniotic fluid is essential for the development of muscles, limbs, lungs, and the digestive system. In the second trimester, the baby begins to breathe and swallow the fluid to help their lungs grow and mature. The amniotic fluid also helps the baby develop muscles and limbs by providing plenty of room to move around.
760797 tn?1303264540 yeah MH says "congratulations you're in the second trimester!" in your day-by-day pregnancy guide when you turned 13w BUT it doesn't show 2nd until 14wk on your ticker... I considered myself 2nd halfway through the 13th week because I think, by days, that's when it converts... but I'll be celebrating 2nd trimester on MH when my ticker changes over tonight to 14wk LOL.
Avatar f tn fetal head is three weeks behind in third trimester tags:abmormal ultrasound results'small fetal head'microcephaly i have done my first ultrasound on16weeksand fetal bpd is31.3mm .my second ultrasound is done on 21weeks and bpd of fetal is5.7cm my third scan is done on34weeks and fetal bpd is 73.
5492154 tn?1374801006 Always count the full months from the first day of your last period, like you would count the number of years in your age ie. in your first year you were 0, in your second year you were 1 year old, etc. eg. LMP = January 1st ~ on February 1st you are 1 month pregnant, on March 1st you are 2 months pregnant etc. Interesting triva: 3 calendar months = 13 weeks. Go on, try it!
Avatar f tn If you would read on fetal development you would know a fetus stops moving around it's 16th week and won't begin to move till you're in your third trimester.
Avatar f tn i think the fast heartbeat myth is for later in pregnancy, late second and third trimester. i heard if you're over 150 its a girl. not sure if its accurate since it depends on what the baby is doing. if its sleeping it will be low, if its active it will rise.
