Most women have uncomplicated pregnancies and their daily routines may not change until the last few weeks before delivery

If you experience a sharp pain on the side in early pregnancy, or bleeding and/or cramping at anytime during pregnancy, call your doctor immediately! The Second Trimester (Week 13 - Week 26) Eighteen Weeks : By this time eyebrows, eyelashes, and fine hair appear

HIV, pregnancy, mothers and babies
Information about being HIV positive and pregnant, antiretroviral drugs and
pregnancy, and HIV, birth and breastfeeding.
AZT is usually taken two or three times daily, starting after the first trimester sometime between 14 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, as well as being taken during labour
Delaying starting drug treatment until after the first trimester means in practice delaying until 12 to 14 weeks from the date of your last missed period
The main reason for delaying treatment until after the first trimester is that the baby’s main organs develop in the first 12 weeks in the womb
If only a limited number of drugs are available then AZT monotherapy from 28 weeks of pregnancy is likely to be recommended with single dose NVP and AZT being taken during labour
AZT is started at between 14 to 34 weeks of pregnancy, and you also take it during labour in the same way as you would take it if you did not need treatment for your own HIV infection
Which drugs should my baby take? If an HIV positive woman is taking AZT then it will probably be recommended that her baby is given AZT (usually as a syrup) for the first six weeks of its life starting 8-12 hours after birth
Alternatively, if the mother has taken AZT and 3TC during labour then an effective regime for the baby would be one week of AZT and 3TC

ULTRASOUND IN PREGNANCY WEB BOOK- frames version
Valuable information for patients and physicians regarding ultrasound in pregnancy
and infertility.
It is believed that the ceases functioning when the is about eight weeks old
By the time the is about 16 weeks old, the is about the same size as the ; then, they fuse forming the CHORIO-AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE
The GESTATIONAL SAC, also known as the BAG OF WATERS, is essentially everything inside of the (also known as the chorionic sac) during early or everything inside of the chorio-amniotic sac during later (i.e., after approximately 16 weeks menstrual age)
(Conception usually occurs around Day 14, or two weeks into the cycle.) Consequently, even though we can tell with substantial certainty when conception probably took place, we still give age from the last normal menstrual period
For example, if conception occurred 8 weeks before an ultrasound scan, we would say that the is 10 weeks old menstrual age
(remember, conception occurs approximately 2 weeks after the first day of the menstrual period.) Incidentally and interestingly, conception may not occur on the day of intercourse
By the time the reaches 12 weeks of age, we use measurement of the BIPARIETAL DIAMETER () to determine age
By sixteen weeks of age, almost everybody measures two other things, in addition to the, to determine fetal age

fish oils and pregnancy and infants
Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and pregnancy and infants.
Danish researchers report that women who consume fish or seafood once a week during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy have a 3.6 times lower risk of giving birth to a low birth weight (less than 2500 grams) or premature (born before 259 days) baby than do women who never consume fish or seafood
Their study involved 10 lactating women who between week 4 and 6 postpartum supplemented with either 200 mg of DHA per day or 200 mg of a corn/soy oil mixture (placebo oil)
At the end of the 2 weeks the DHA content of the milk from the DHA-supplemented mothers had increased by 28% while the DHA content in the milk from the mothers in the placebo group had decreased by 25%
In other words, after 2 weeks the DHA content in the milk from DHA-supplemented mothers was almost twice as high as in the milk from the mothers in the placebo group
One clinical trial found that women who supplemented with fish oil (1.5 grams eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and 1 gram docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] daily) from their 30th week of pregnancy extended the pregnancy by 4 days and gave birth to infants weighing an average of 100 grams more that infants born to mothers supplementing with placebos (olive oil)
National MS Society | Rebif (Interferon beta-1a)
Beta-Interferon 1A (Rebif) in the treatment of MS.
A controlled clinical trial in relapsing-remitting MS compared three groups-those receiving 22mcg three times per week, those receiving 44mcg three times a week, and those receiving placebo
Reporting on the outcome of the EVIDENCE trial, which compared Rebif and Avonex (both interferon beta-1a), the FDA added the following information to the labeling of Rebif: "Patients treated with Rebif 44 mcg [micrograms] sc [delivered subcutaneously] tiw [3 times per week] were more likely to remain relapse-free at 24 and 48 weeks than were patients treated with Avonex 30 mcg im [delivered intramuscularly] qw [once per week]." Proper Usage Rebif is given three times a week subcutaneously (between the fat layer just under the skin and the muscles beneath)
When beginning treatment, it is recommended that you start at 8.8 mcg three times a week and gradually increase over a 4-week period to the 44mcg dose in order to reduce the side effects
Rebif should be administered at the same time of day, on the same days of the week, preferably in the late afternoon
Since flu-like symptoms are a fairly common side effect during the initial weeks of treatment, it is recommended that the injection be given at bedtime
