Women should avoid sex following a miscarriage.
Though it’s recommended that women wait for at least a couple of weeks, sex is not strictly prohibited after a miscarriage. That being said, this type of activity needs to be approached with caution due to various physical and emotional setbacks.
Bleeding during the first trimester always means a miscarriage.
Light spotting during the early months of pregnancy is actually quite normal and does not necessarily indicate a miscarriage. Heavy bleeding, passing of blood clots or consistent bleeding is much more worrisome and is normally the first signs of a miscarriage. Most women will see a doctor or midwife when they experience any type of bleeding simply to make sure everything is okay.
Iron prevents anemia in pregnant women, lowering the chances of a pre-term baby and low birth weight.
Getting enough iron prevents anemia, which is linked to preterm birth and low-birth weight babies.
Which organ works to transfer nutrients from maternal blood to fetal blood during pregnancy?
The placenta is responsible for working as a trading post between the mother’s and the baby’s blood supply. Small blood vessels carrying the fetal blood run through the placenta, which is full of maternal blood. Nutrients and oxygen from the mother’s blood are transferred to the fetal blood, while waste products are transferred from the fetal blood to the maternal blood, without the two blood supplies mixing.
Another way to track fertility is by assessing the pattern of changes in body temperature.
Since your body temperature rises after you release an egg (ovulation), if you chart your temperature, it can tell you when you’re most fertile.
Which hormone when increased causes problems with infertility by affecting ovulation and egg production?
Prolactin is a hormone that plays a role in fertility by inhibiting follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), the hormones that trigger ovulation and allow eggs to develop and mature.
