When I communicate with moms, I often get asked questions like "Why does my baby look so ugly in the 4D ultrasound?" or "I often have cramps in my stomach, is something wrong?". Here are some of the common questions and concerns:
Question: I often have cramps in my stomach, what should I do? Is there something wrong?
Answer: How many months pregnant are you?
Mom: About 3 months.
I took birth control pills but still got pregnant, can I keep the baby?
I'm already 20 weeks pregnant, why can't I feel the baby move? Is this normal?
Are these questions valid concerns or are moms just worrying too much? Let's hear what the moms who consulted the experts in our group have to say!
Cramps in the stomach
It is advisable to get checked at the hospital as there can be many reasons for abdominal pain, such as hepatitis, chronic gastritis, enteritis, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers, appendicitis, nephritis, etc. If these causes can be ruled out, then uterine contractions causing stomach pain should be considered. This is mainly due to the enlargement of the uterus during pregnancy and the pulling of the uterine ligaments, causing abdominal pain. If there are no organic diseases found after examination, then there is no need for treatment.
Taking birth control pills before pregnancy
Taking emergency contraceptive pills before pregnancy has a negative impact on the baby.
Guidance:
Emergency contraception is a high-dose hormone that can disrupt hormone levels and cause menstrual irregularities. It can also lead to abnormal embryo development and even deformities.
If you are pregnant, you must closely monitor the development of the baby!
The above is the advice for the question "What is the impact of taking emergency contraception pills before pregnancy on the baby?".
Fetal movement
I'm already 20 weeks pregnant, but I still can't feel the baby move. Fetal movement varies from person to person, and not everyone feels it at a fixed time. Some moms feel fetal movement before three months, while others don't feel it until over five months. In fact, the baby has been moving, but the movements are very subtle and you may not be sensitive enough to feel them. So, this is not a problem. Don't worry, maintain a happy mood, have a balanced diet, keep up with prenatal check-ups, and be a happy expectant mother.
