Examples of heterotopic pregnancy in the following topics:
-
- An ectopic pregnancy, or eccysis, is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo implants outside the uterine cavity.
- With rare exceptions, ectopic pregnancies are not viable.
- While a fetus of ectopic pregnancy is typically not viable, very rarely, a live baby has been delivered from an abdominal pregnancy.
- This is called a heterotopic pregnancy.
- Since ectopic pregnancies are normally discovered and removed very early in the pregnancy, an ultrasound may not find the additional pregnancy inside the uterus.
-
- Pregnancy tests are assays measuring indicators of pregnancy found in urine and blood samples, e.g., human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
- Markers that indicate pregnancy are found in urine and blood: pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances.
- Obstetric ultrasonography may also be used to detect pregnancy.
- The test for pregnancy that can give the quickest result after fertilization is a rosette inhibition assay for early pregnancy factor (EPF).
- Markers that indicate pregnancy are found in urine and blood: pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances.
-
- A number of early medical signs are associated with pregnancy.
- This process continues throughout the pregnancy.
- The first 12 weeks of pregnancy is known as the first trimester.
- Weeks 13 to 28 of the pregnancy is called the second trimester.
- The body's posture changes as the pregnancy progresses.
-
- Regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy appears to improve (or maintain) physical fitness.
- Although an upper level of safe exercise intensity has not been established, women who were regular exercisers before pregnancy and who have uncomplicated, healthy pregnancies should be able to engage in high-intensity exercise programs (e.g., jogging and aerobics) for less than 45 minutes with no adverse effects.
- However, more recent information suggests that in the uncomplicated pregnancy, fetal injuries are highly unlikely.
- A strong, healthy woman will generally have a good pregnancy outcome.
- Physicians recommend moderate exercise during pregnancy, including strength-training.
-
- Pregnancy is the period of gestation from the fertilization of an egg, through development of a fetus, and ending at birth.
- Pregnancy is the state of fertilization and development of one or more offspring within a woman's uterus.
- In a pregnancy, there can be multiple gestations, as in the case of twins or triplets.
- One scientific term for the state of pregnancy is gravidity (adjective "gravid"), Latin for "heavy."
- Ultrasound is used to monitor the age and health of the fetus during pregnancy.
-
- Protein and carbohydrate metabolism are affected during pregnancy and maternal insulin resistance can lead to gestational diabetes.
- During pregnancy, both protein metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism are affected.
- There is some question whether the condition is natural during pregnancy.
- Gestational diabetes generally has few symptoms and it is most commonly diagnosed by screening during pregnancy.
- Gestational diabetes affects 3-10% of pregnancies, depending on the population studied, so it may be a natural phenomenon.
-
- Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that eradicates sperm and is inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
- Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that eradicates sperm and is inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
- However, the pregnancy rate experienced by couples using only spermicide is higher than that of couples using other methods.
- Combined methods are believed to result in lower pregnancy rates than either method alone.
- However, a review in 1990 of large studies on spermicides concluded that there appears to be no increased risk of congenital anomalies, altered sex ratio, or early pregnancy loss among spermicide users.
-
- There are many forms of pregnancy-induced hypertension (increased arterial blood pressure after 20 weeks gestation), of varying severity.
- It is the most common of the dangerous pregnancy complications and may affect both the mother and the unborn child.
- Both conditions usually occur during the later stages of pregnancy, or sometimes after childbirth.
- However, post-partum pre-eclampsia may occur up to six weeks following delivery even if symptoms were not present during the pregnancy.
- Patients who've experienced eclampsia are at increased risk for preeclampsia/eclampsia in a later pregnancy.
-
- Maternal physiological changes in pregnancy are the normal adaptations that a woman undergoes during pregnancy to better accommodate the embryo or fetus, and include cardiovascular, hematologic, metabolic, renal, and respiratory changes.
- The female body must change its physiological and homeostatic mechanisms in pregnancy to ensure proper fetal development.
- One of the most noticeable alterations in pregnancy is the gain in weight.
- A woman's breasts grow during pregnancy, usually one to two cup sizes, but possibly larger.
- A woman who wore a C cup bra prior to her pregnancy may need to buy an F cup or larger bra while nursing.
-
- Implantation is the very early stage of pregnancy at which the embryo adheres to the wall of the uterus and begins to form the placenta.
- Implantation is the very early stage of pregnancy during which the embryo embeds into the wall of the uterus.
- The chorionic villi will be the border between maternal and fetal blood during the pregnancy, and the location of gas and nutrient exchange between the fetus and the mother.
- Human chorionic gonadotropin is the hormone that is detected by pregnancy tests, as it is found in the maternal bloodstream and urine.
