A. Your OB will measure you at your appointment. The rule of thumb is that you should measure about one centimeter per week of pregnancy by now, from your pubic bone to the fundus (top) of your uterus.
By the way, I thought I should add that that's just a general rule, and two centimeters or so variation is normal as well; I had polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) with my last daughter and measured a little larger than average. So even if you measure big or small, it may not indicate the size of the baby so much as the amount of amniotic fluid that you're carrying.
Also, you can not, not, NOT rely on how big you look to tell you whether you're the right size. There are too many variables (height, build/frame, weight, muscle tone, etc.) that contribute to your pregnant shape, for you to rely on how your belly looks compared to others, as a measure of whether your baby is healthy and growing well or not.
And finally, unless you are a terrible eater, are starving yourself, or are gorging on nothing but junk, your baby is getting what he/she needs in terms of nutrition. Especially if you are taking your prenatal vitamins. Your baby is not "eating" anything right now (except his own shed skin cells and whatever else from his amniotic fluid); all nutrition comes to him through the bloodstream. And your body is designed to provide him what he needs, even if it means a temporary deficit to your own nutrition. In other words, your body will take from you to give to your baby, if need be. So as long as you're taking good care of yourself, both of you will have what you need to stay healthy.

Q. my girl friend thinks she is pregnant,she wants to stop the pregnancy (doesn't want the baby) ... but she is scared to get an abortion .. is it possible to stop a 3 week pregnancy without abortion and by taking just birth control pills or some other kind of medicine? is there any other way besides abortion?
A. Too bad that you are finding yourself having to ask such a sad question... You should've wrapped up the salami and you'd be fine.
But to answer your question, no she'll need an abortion.

Is fetus sleep at 20 weeks pregnancy and reduce quickening?
Q. i am 20 weeks pregnancy.I felt baby quickening before weeks.but now i felt her quickening on at once mid night and next day not yet.is it normal? i heard The fetus now has a regular sleeping pattern.what its means?
A. At 20 weeks the fetus is still small enough that it is quite normal only to feel movements a few times a day. It does not mean that there is something wrong with the baby. Wait a few more weeks and you'll begin to feel stronger regular kicks and squrms.
Can an Antiepileptic medication cause malformation or autism in a 22 weeks pregnancy?
Q. My daughter has 22 weeks of pregnancy and she is having seizures. The Doctor said that she needs to start medications as soon as possible. She had epilepsy and she is been out of medications for about 7 years. We are worry because we heard that this can cause malformation or autism in the baby. Is that possible if she has 22 weeks already?
A. First of all, there is no definitive research on what does or does not cause autism. Even that study that was widely publicized a couple years ago (that said it was the shots) has been retracted because that doctor did more research and found the link wasn't as definitive as he thought.
Now, it may be true that certain medications taken during pregnancy can cause an increased chance of birth defects. However, the doctor wouldn't be nonchalant about giving your daughter medication. The risks to the baby need to be weighed against the risks to your daughter and the baby if the medication isn't taken.
During a seizure, it is not uncommon for the patient to stop breathing for a period of time, and it's also possible that during a seizure, your daughter might fall, or hurt herself or the baby. These situations can cause more harm to the baby than the medications.
I would definitely have your daughter discuss your concerns with her doctor, but in many cases the benefits of medication during pregnancy can outweigh the risks of side effects.
