old wives tale

  • Douching At The End Of Pregnancy?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,

  • Does Climbing Stairs During Pregnancy Hurt Anything?

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    Is it ok to walk up and down stairs? I was told that the umbilical cord can wrap around the baby's neck.

    I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and I don't feel the baby move, is this normal?

    Also, I have constipation, and when I have a bowel movement, there is a little bit of mucus when I wipe my behind. What is this?

  • Can I Tell Gender By Heart Rate?

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,
    What is a normal heartbeat for a baby? I am 15 weeks along right now. Can you tell the sex of the baby by the heartbeat? My baby's heartbeat is 145. I have heard that girls typically have faster heartbeats than boys (around 165).
