Q. I have been told that a pregnancy test 2 weeks after having sex can be accurate. But *how* accurate? If it comes back negative, what are the chances of pregnancy? Like, if my g/f and I had sex on the night of October 31, how accurate would a pregnancy test administered on November 15 be?
A. The earliest a pregnancy test is likely to be accurate is 5 days prior to your period. Even then, it will be much more accurate 2-7 days after a missed period. It took mine 1-2 days after a missed period to show up positive.
Has anyone flown long distance flights in relative late pregnancy?
Q. I am planning a long distance flight (12 hours) in my late pregnancy - week 33. It is not a problem with the airline as long as I get OK from my doctor.
Looking for personal experience of flying this late in the pregnancy?

A. I have flown in internationally with my first two pregnancies at various stages. I was 31 weeks pregnant when I flew internationally with my last pregnancy. I will be 30 weeks later this summer when I fly internationally with this pregnancy as well.
As long as you get a check-up from your doctor and he/she says you are fine, then go for it. Double check with your airline because usually this late in pregnancy they require a note from your doctor dated within 72 hours of the flight.
Even if the airline itself says that you are fine, and even if you bring a doctors note, you must remember that the final decision is up to the Captain (who will be informed by the gate crew of your status).
FAA Airline regulations state :
Obstetrical patients are free to fly, but pose a significant risk in later stages of precipitating delivery during flight. Pregnancy past 32 weeks should be carefully considered for restriction from flight and must be accompanied with an authorization note from a doctor. Those past 36 weeks should be prohibited from flying unless personally accompanied by their doctor.

While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up.
To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things:
*drink plenty of water
*avoid caffeine
*don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)
*walk around as much as you can (up and down the aisles)
*stretch while sitting
*wear loose fitting clothing
*wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)
*wear maternity support pantyhose or socks
*try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room
*eat light foods
*eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals
*do not eat salt
*ask for a seat belt extender (depending on how big you are) and wear it just under your abdomen
*relax

Are colby and monterey jack cheeses safe in pregnancy?
Q. I am making mac & cheese and wanted to know if colby and monterey jack cheeses are safe in pregnancy?

A. Cheese can be safe to eat during pregnancy. However, it is important to keep in mind that you must eat pasteurized cheese while you are pregnant. Unpasteurized cheese can cause the bacteria listeria, which can lead to Listeriosis. Though this infection is rare, it can be harmful to your unborn baby. This is why it is important to know that certain types of cheeses are safe during pregnancy, while others are not. Keep in mind that this rule applies to other forms of dairy, such as milk.
According to WebMD.com, some of the foods that are not considered safe during pregnancy include Mexican-style cheese, feta, blue cheese, Camembert and Brie. Pregnant women are also generally recommended to avoid deli cheese or meat altogether. However, if you do make the decision to eat it, it's ideal to warm it up in the microwave prior to eating to try to kill any bacteria. In situations where cheese has been sitting in the sun all day, such as at picnics or barbecues, it is ideal to avoid eating cheese or deli meats. Avoid eating cheese from farms.
So as long as it says pasteurized, you should be good to go hon, and btw......that sounds YUMMY, made me hungry for some now.......17w3d with number 4 lol :)

How big are people usually during the 31st week of pregnancy?
Q. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with the first child and I'm barely big....Like you can tell but if I'm wearing a baggy sweatshirt you really can't tell.
Usually I wear a size 6 in jeans and during my pregnancy I've only had to go to a size 8.
I asked my doctor about it and he said it's barely nothing.

A. All women are different. I was huge with my son Leeroy. People thought I was having twins, but I reassured them that it was just him. Only one. And I am a big on the heavy side even though I don't look like it. Like I said, all women are different. But I'm sure you'll get the last few 'baby pounds' right before your baby is to arrive. Best of luck with your baby!
