LADYTIMER DAILY QUIZ

It is okay to over eat while pregnant using the old 'eating for two' justification.
Being pregnant isn't an excuse to binge on your favourite foods. In fact, doing so can be very unhealthy for both the expectant mother and her baby. Daily calorie requirements will only shift marginally, and increase by around 300 calories a day.
At what week will a woman be able to feel their unborn baby move around?
A)
During the first three months
An expectant mother will typically begin to feel their unborn baby move around sometime between 16 to 22 weeks. This sensation is often described as feeling like butterflies in the stomach.
Exercise can result in a miscarriage
There is no scientific evidence that links exercise with a miscarriage. Although certain kinds of exercise will need to be stopped as the pregnancy progresses. For example, marathon running and mountain biking are not exactly suitable for a woman who is 7 months pregnant. A doctor should be consulted on what kinds of exercise are okay and what should be stopped for the duration of the pregnancy.
What is the minimum time suggested after a miscarriage before a woman should attempt trying to conceive again?
A)
After the first period following the miscarriage
In relation to a medical standpoint, it’s safe to try to conceive again once the first post-miscarriage period has passed.
Surgical removal of polyps in the uterus may fix fertility problems.
Polyps can interfere with the function of the uterus and make it difficult for a woman to remain pregnant after conception. Surgical removal of the polyps can increase the chances for a woman to get pregnant.
Which is not a possible cause of Hypothalamic amenorrhea?
Some medications (e.g. phenothiazines) as well as extremes of weight loss, stress or exercise can cause this type of secondary amenorrhea. A pituitary or hypothalamic tumor would be a rare finding in these patients who were all screened with prolactin levels at the beginning of the diagnostic evaluation. However, if there is no cause apparent from the history, it is sometimes suggested to get a baseline CT or MRI scan of the sellar region to rule out a (very rare) tumor.
