annonymous

How early in pregnancy can a women suffer from indigestion and diarrhea?

Answer
Pregnancy, Diet and your general health play a role in these problems! Not so pleasant a time for some woman.

Get plenty of rest, drink water and don't eat late at night may help.

Eating a sensible diet is important at any time of life but particularly when pregnant. So a good healthy diet and minimal processed foods make a lot of good sense.

Stay safe be careful about the products you use in your home, on your body etc as much of the elements can make there way through the placenta to your baby.

Enjoy your pregnancy and guard your health. Good luck

best foods during pregnancy?

What are the best/worst foods to have/not have for the health of the little one and if you can give some good websites on what to expect and exercises please do

Answer
You should try to stick to a good, healthy diet. Lots of fruits and veggies; baked, grilled, boiled, or broiled meats; plenty of protein from beans and nuts; whole grains; and a good bit of dairy- cheese, milk, yogurt, ice cream; and most importantly, drink lots of water. To avoid being dehydrated you should be drinking at least 10 glasses of water a day.

You'll want to limit your intake of fried, greasy, high-sodium (salty) foods. Most of the stuff from the drive-thru is not good for you or your baby. If it comes in a can, it's most likely high in sodium. Limit your intake of fish, including tuna, to 1-2 servings per week. Most fish contains high levels of mercury which is poisonous. Stay away from any food that hasn't been thoroughly heated through- lunch meat and cold left overs. Make sure to wash all fresh fruits and veggies to get rid of all pesticides and chemicals. Limit your intake of caffeine. If you must drink sodas, tea, or coffee, look for caffeine free options.

Congrats and good luck!

What kinds of foods should feeder mice eat while pregnant?

pregnancy food health image

Genny

One of my mice is pregnant, and she isn't very far along in her pregnancy, but I want to make sure she has a very good diet to make sure her babies are very healthy at birth. So, what are some basic foods to boost her health and ensure that the babies are in good health at the time of birth?

ALSO...
Do you have any other helpful tips about anything to do with raising baby mice or the pregnancy of my mouse?

Thank you! :)

Answer
Well I have mice myself and I do raise feeder mice. Now what I do for the mothers is give them lots of protein since they need it. Because they will eat there young if they don't have it.
Now peanut butter is great, bread is good, crackers with peanut butter is awesome. My mice just love crackers. But what I did is because I have different kinds of animals, like gerbils, mice and a hamster, I made a diet that was good for all of them, very high in protein.
But if she doesn't really know you then I wouldnt' touch her babies till they are about 2 weeks old.
Now raising babies isn't really that hard, what you do is keep the babies with their mother till they are about 4 to 6 weeks old, because they will keep nursing off here mother even if she has another litter. So just take them out and have like a nursery because if you put them with other mice they will be killed so just keep them seperated. Then when they are older interduse them to the other mice that are for your snakes or spiders what ever you have.

You can play with them if you want so u can keep one for a pet if you wish. :D

So you know if you keep your male mouse with your female she will have a litter every 28 days till she dies or till you take out the male. Just make sure your diet that you have is good for her so she doesn't loose much because if you don't have the right diet she will be loosing a lot of nutrience from the babies and she will go very skinnny.

What is the longest flight you have taken during pregnancy?

Q. Is it safe to fly during pregnancy. I'm in my 4th month. I'm planning to take international flight which is around 22 hrs long with 1 hr hault.
Please give me your suggestions. My doctor OKed it already. but I'm concerned.

Answer
I traveled internationally (14+ hours each way) this past summer while pregnant. I left when I was 13 weeks and returned when I was around 30 weeks. I also did another short (3 hours each way) international trip (left at 32 weeks and returned at 34 weeks). My daughter was born 23 December and is perfectly healthy and happy. I have also traveled internationally at various stages with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 8&6).


You are safe to travel by plane from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way up until the end portion of your last trimester (usually 9th month - 36 weeks) and can manage what ever kind of trip(s) you want to do as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage or pre-term labor, and poses no other risks to you or your child. The radiation risks are so low that they won't do any harm to you or your child.

It is the last four weeks (once you reach the 9th month - 36 weeks) that women are usually prohibited from flying. This is because after 36 weeks, a women can go into labor at any time, and the airplane is not made to handle such situations. For one, there is no guarantee that a doctor will be on board a plane, plus, should any complications arise during the labor and delivery, the plane does not have the medical equipment to handle such situations and it could put the health of the mother and child in danger.

You need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly. Many airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight once you reach your third trimester (27 weeks). By the time you reach your eighth month (32 weeks) almost all airlines will require a doctors note.

All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks.

FAA Airline regulations state :

Obstetrical patients are free to fly, but pose a significant risk in later stages of precipitating delivery during flight. Pregnancy past 32 weeks should be carefully considered for restriction from flight and must be accompanied with an authorization note from a doctor. Those past 36 weeks should be prohibited from flying unless personally accompanied by their doctor. (Taken from my husbands flight security and survival manual & FAA site)

While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up.

To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things:

*drink plenty of water
*avoid caffeine
*don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)
*walk around as much as you can (up and down the aisles)
*stretch while sitting
*wear loose fitting clothing
*wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)
*wear maternity support pantyhose or socks
*try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room
*eat light foods
*eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals
*do not eat salt
*Wear your seat belt just under your abdomen (depending on how big you are, you can also ask for a seat belt extender - just be sure that that too goes under your abdomen)
*relax
