Hormone Levels & Miscarriage
A miscarriage is a pregnancy loss that occurs within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of women who know that they are pregnant will suffer a miscarriage. That number may be much higher, given that many women have early miscarriages before they ever know that they are pregnant. Miscarriages that occur in the early stages of pregnancy may be the result of hormonal problems.
Fetal Doppler and Safety
The fetal Doppler–more commonly called an “ultrasound”–allows doctors and parents to take a peek at what’s inside the uterus. Doctors typically order an ultrasound only a few times throughout the pregnancy. More recently, for-profit organizations have started creating keepsake videos of the fetal ultrasound, including 3-D techniques that allow you to see what your baby will look like. Naturally, you may be concerned about the safety of a fetal Doppler.
