Early Signs of Labor

Executive Summary By Jake Wilson

There are various early signs of labor. You should always be aware of what these labor signs are so that you are prepared to deal with them properly if they occur. Such early signs of labor include a nesting instinct, nausea and diarrhea, vaginal spotting and bleeding, a lightening in the pelvis, membrane rupture of the amniotic sac and Braxton Hicks contractions

Throughout these nine months, women take on several hormonal changes which affect the body greatly. Others experience a nesting instinct where the woman is recharged and full of life and energy just a few days prior to the birth.

Mucus blood spotting is also common. Women discharge mucus as the cervix begins to open up and it leaves a brown to pink blood mucus spotting. Lightening is another early sign of labor. A woman will notice that she has more air as the lungs have more room to work because the baby has dropped into the pelvis in preparation for delivery. For first time deliverers, this can happen weeks before labor begins, while second to multiple deliverers may experience lightening hours before.

As the delivery approaches many women experience false contractions known as Braxton Hicks Contractions. The membrane of the amniotic sac will rupture before real contractions start.

Six Common Signs Of Labor

To prepare for labor, you should look for the common signs of labor so that you can prepare yourself for childbirth.

Some of the common signs of labor are as follows:

The following six signs indicate that labor is just few days or weeks away.

• You feel light and you can breathe again. This is the sign that your baby has dropped down and is settling into the pelvis releasing pressure from your diaphragm. However, you might feel increased pressure on your bladder and you might have to make several trips to the bathroom now!
• During pregnancy, the cervical opening is plugged by mucus to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus. When your cervix begins to relax, this mucus plug is expelled. Many women believe that the plug will be solid. In fact, it is in the form of a thick discharge of stringy mucus. It is either clear in color, pink or tinged with blood. The mucus plug can be expelled minutes, hours or days before labor begins.
• Just 1 in 10 women experience a gush of amniotic fluid when the membranes rupture. Most often, the amniotic fluid will just leak in the form of small trickle. However, many women are unsure whether it is amniotic fluid or urine because many pregnant women leak urine during the later stages of pregnancy. You should discuss with your doctor what you should do if the membranes rupture because the risk of infection increase and your doctor might decide to induce labor.
• Just before you go into labor, you will have a sudden spurt of energy. You will realize that you can do things like cleaning, buying groceries or cooking without feeling tired. This means that your labor is just round the corner and you will do yourself a lot of good by saving up the energy.
• Effacement of cervix starts in the last month of pregnancy. Your cervix will become thin and it will start to stretch to make it easy for the cervix to dilate when you deliver your baby. Your doctor will start checking for effacement in the last 2 months of pregnancy and he or she will tell about the progress.
• Dilation of the cervix opening means your body is preparing for labor. Dilation is usually measured in centimeters and at times during internal examination, the doctor might measure it in fingers. If you are fully dilated, your dilation measures 10 centimeters and you are ready to give birth. Doctors start checking for dilation in the last 2 months of pregnancy and will keep you informed about this.

When is the Best Time to Take an Early Pregnancy Test?

Executive Summary By Rob Small

If you are trying for a baby, waiting to take that all-important test every month can be extremely torturous. Test too early and you may risk a false negative despite the recent improvements in pregnancy testing kits.

The best time to take a pregnancy test is officially after you have missed a period in order to achieve the most reliable result. By taking a pregnancy test after your longest expected cycle, you are more likely to be provided with an accurate result. This has resulted in many women choosing newer, more sensitive pregnancy testing kits to achieve an earlier response.

Pregnancy testing kits are designed to detect the hormone hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrphin) in a woman’s urine. If you take an early pregnancy test too quickly, you must bear in mind that you may get a false negative, as implantation may not have yet taken place. In this case wait three or four days and take the test again.

It is worth remembering that the length of time between fertilisation and implantation varies from woman to woman and between pregnancies, but on average it is around six to 12 days after ovulation. This means the earliest day you can test and expect a positive result is seven days after you have ovulated.

As there are many different pregnancy-testing kits available on the market, so are there varied sensitivity levels within the tests themselves. If you are looking to test earlier, look for a kit with a high sensitivity level. A number you will find on the packaging denotes the level of sensitivity, ranging from 20ml/U to 150ml/U. Shop bought tests are between 97 and 99% accurate when used properly. By testing first thing in the morning, your hCG level would have accumulated overnight if you were pregnant and would be easier to detect.

Try not to drink too many fluids prior to testing so as not to dilute your hormone level and always check the result after the recommended time.

Early Pregnancy Test Result – How to Confirm Pregnancy

Executive Summary By Jessica H

Conception is the union of the male sperm and the female egg.

Once a woman begins menstruating,ovulation provides for the release of an egg in each cycle. The dominant egg in one of the ovaries matures and is released into the fallopian tube. Each ovary releases an egg alternately. In rare cases, both the ovaries release an egg each, simultaneously, and this may result in the conception of twins. The released egg reaches the fallopian tube.

In the fallopian tube, the sperm and the egg meet and fertilization takes place. This protein-rich fluid is used to nourish the egg till it reaches the uterus.

Once the fertilized egg gets implanted in the uterus lining, the developing placenta starts producing hCG. hCG is also known as the early pregnancy hormone. An early pregnancy test result that shows the presence of this pregnancy hormone in blood and urine samples will confirm pregnancy. Initially, the level of hCG is very low in an early pregnancy test result, but as the pregnancy progresses, it rapidly increases. Tests are sensitive enough to detect hCG levels of 5 mIU/ml in an early pregnancy test result . Even these levels during pregnancy tests are regarded positive.

Pregnancy Questions

Executive Sumamry By Rylee James

Some parents like to become part of a social network where they can interact with people at the same place in life. Not every parent is fortunate enough to have a strong support system, however. And many people don’t have the time for weekly social outings, which often consist of the comparison game instead of getting answers and support for their concerns.

Many parents are hesitant to ask questions or share their concerns with people they see face-to-face on a regular basis. Yet during pregnancy and early parenting is when people really need emotional support and answers to their questions. An online forum is a great way to stay connected with other parents who are going through similar experiences.

Asking questions in an understanding environment is important to every parent. With an online forum, we realize there are many other parents facing the same issues as us. Creating a user account prevents a lot of useless information and unwanted posts from people who are just browsing the site. Having your own member account means you are committed to interacting with other members on the site and respect their input.

5 Common Early Pregnancy Questions Answered

By Sophia David

During the early stages of pregnancy, many women have many of the same questions. Here is a list of them with answers to help you understand these issues.

- Question: Is it possible for a woman to still have her period when she’s pregnant?

Answer: Not in the sense of a “normal” period. She might have a bit of unusual bleeding while pregnant, and some women think this is her period, since it often comes around the same time she would otherwise get her period. However, this bleeding should not be enough to fill tampons or pads during a period of a few days. If it is enough, this probably indicates you’re not pregnant.

- Question: What if I do have a heavy period, and yet have all the signs of being pregnant?

Answer: Then you should see a physician to find out what’s happening. Such a case might b caused by infection, an imbalance in hormones, even a miscarriage. Only a doctor can diagnose is for sure.

- Question: What if I start bleeding after I’ve had a positive test for pregnancy?

Answer: It’s not unusual for women to experience some bleeding or spotting during early pregnancy; about 25 to 30 percent do. As long as this is a light bleeding, don’t be overly concerned about it, as you will likely have a normal pregnancy and healthy child. However, around 50 percent of those who experience this light bleeding will then have heavier bleeding. This could ultimately lead to miscarriage.

If you notice that the bleeding is getting heavier, and you’re also experiencing painful cramping or back pain, you should call your doctor immediately. If, on the other hand, you experience only slight spotting, and it then goes away, just be sure to tell your physician at your next appointment, so they know what’s going on during your pregnancy.

- Question: What if, during my pregnancy, I experience some cramping?

Answer: It’s not uncommon for women to experiencing light cramping early during pregnancy. This resembles light menstrual cramps, and is usually a result of changes taking place in the uterus. Don’t let light cramping worry you over-much, but as with everything, share it with your health care provider the next time you see him / her.

- Question: I missed my period but had a negative pregnancy test. Does this indicate I’m not pregnant?

Answer: The negative test could indicate one of several things: You might not be pregnant, might have taken the test too soon, or you might have simply took it wrong (since these tests vary in sensitivity). If a test sits for too much time, the results you get will not be reliable. Be sure to follow the instructions contained with the kit.

Pain Control Options for a Pregnancy

Executive Summary By Kenneth Elliott

The pain/reward of giving birth varies from person to person, but in most cases expectant women, especially when giving birth the first time, may want less pain in order to better enjoy the reward.

Both for mother and child low doses of anesthesia will reduce any problems that may occur during childbirth. Preparation with your partner well before the onset of labor is the first step. Lamaze or Bradley training is helpful, in order to learn good breathing and relaxation techniques. Some training involves learning focusing techniques. Focus techniques involve zeroing in on the need to push or the progress, rather than the discomfort. Train up to the day.

Physical comfort can be enhanced by a variety of methods. Hot or cold packs can ease cramping. Sipping warm tea or ice water is sometimes helpful. If general anesthesia has to be given, doctors will require minimal liquid intake beforehand. Anesthesia can produce nausea and vomiting. Some hospitals will use tubs of water or even showers to maximize physical and mental comfort during labor. Techniques like these don’t require any training or practice, just the ability to remember to use them when needed. A general pain medication can range from over-the-counter remedies to mild narcotics. It’s important to be able to focus and participate during the process, so doctors keep the dosage to a minimum whenever possible. Stronger narcotics to ease pain can be used if necessary.

Local anesthetic is no longer an automatic choice. Studies revolving around the neurological effects on the baby have made doctors and mothers very conservative. The drug is injected into a space at the base of the spinal column.

Getting Pregnant – The Best Options For Getting Pregnant!

Executive Summary By Abhishek Agarwal

Staying healthy and keeping the right weight, consuming balanced and nutritious food, and taking a pre pregnancy examination are very much required while taking the path to parenthood, however, on a lighter note, ascertaining the best positions for getting pregnant can just spice things up.

Now, the defect in this theory is that, a man has to have time enough to have his sperm count replenished. Well, it has now been confirmed for sure that having sex on alternate days when ovulating is a better option, and so we can study some of the more preferred positions for getting pregnant. However, it needs to be stressed that the best positions for getting pregnant have no scientific foundation.

Well, logical reasoning declares that many of the positions that initiate pregnancy are those, which facilitate gravity. It is for this very purpose that medical professionals suggest adopting the missionary position, where the man is on top. In all probability any position that is assumed can quite likely result in a woman getting pregnant.

In truth, dousing tends to throw the pH levels of the vagina and the sperm totally out of balance, making the sperm’s travel to its final destination extremely tough. Besides, the vaginal secretions that occur naturally and assist in the smooth passage of the sperm become diluted.

Even though no ideal positions for becoming pregnant exist, the use of logic and enforcing plenty of patience will go a long way to make certain that this effort pays off.

Unplanned Pregnancy

By Bambang Hermanto

Pregnancy can occur at any time or place during a woman’s life. An unplanned pregnancy happens when you least expect it, like when you are getting a new promotion at work or after you have paid your car off. Pregnancy is not considered to be a good thing for a woman who does not want to have children in the near future, or at all. Being pregnant means carrying a baby in your womb for nine months, endearing physical changes to your body, and ultimately being responsible for another life for the next eighteen years.

If your pregnancy is unplanned, you may be upset with yourself and your partner for being irresponsible. You may also be confused if you used birth control but somehow it does not work. It could cause you to feel overwhelmed because you do not know what to do from here on out.

Before we discuss the options you have, let’s discuss what you need to do when your test comes out positive.

First, realize that an unplanned pregnancy is not the end of the world (even though you may think it is). It is not a life threatening situation, so do not panic. Do not make any rational decisions. Keep in mind, that you had no total control in the matter. Yes, you had irresponsible sex, but pregnancy is a chance of fate. You have no control over that your contraceptive stop working and no control over your partner’s urges. Once you regain control over your thoughts, you can start to decide rationally on what to do.

Face the responsibility and take it for what it is. Realize that you are no longer the victim of circumstance but the master of circumstance. Do not live in the past; think about the present and your future. It may take a while for that feeling of regret and guilt to go away, but it will go away. So take a deep breath, lift your head up, and move on.

If you are confused about what choices you have for your unplanned pregnancy, there are people you can talk to and websites you can visit to give you some sort of direction. Ultimately you have three choices: abortion, adoption, or being a parent.

While adoption or being a parent is a hard decision to make, so is abortion. With abortion, you are terminating a life. However, if this is your decision, make sure that it is your decision and there is no one else doing it for you. You need to do what is right for you and your life.
