  • Running a Marathon?

    QUESTION

    Dear Fitness Expert,
    I have been training for the NYC marathon and have completed two marathon's in the past 10 months. I am not a competitive runner, but enjoy marathon running and finished both marathon's in just under 5 hours. I just found out that I am pregnant and will be 6 weeks pregnant during the upcoming run. Both my primary care and OB/GYN had no objections. Both also advised that I be careful not to dehydrate.

  • An Ominous Ultrasound Report

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,
    Hello again. I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago and you responded. I have attached that correspondence. I have some serious concerns regarding a follow-up u/s in which the radiologist found "Several indicators are of non-viable pregnancy or impending non-viability." I will attach a scanned copy of the report, but my concerns are:

  • Is a Fetal Heartrate of 170 Okay?

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,

    I don't want to seem overly concerned. However, this is my first pregnancy. I had my first ultrasound today. I was told the baby measures almost 2 cm long & the heart rate was 170. Is this okay? I have read a normal heart rate was between 120-160.

    QUESTION

  • Non-stress Test: Monitoring Your Baby's Well-Being

    Due to special situations like high blood pressure, premature rupture of membranes, twins or triplets, your provider may decide to order a non-stress test (NST). An NST monitors a baby's health by showing his/her baseline heart rate and also any increases in the heart rate due to movement. It's an easy, painless, non-invasive test that allows your providers to monitor baby's well being in the womb.

  • Does a Fast Heartbeat Mean a Girl?

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,
    I am trying to determine the sex of my baby as early as possible before an ultra-sound. I had one done last night to see how far I am and the BPM was 162, I am only 9 weeks along. Is it true that girls have a heart rate between 160-180?
