what are the risks of ct scan during first trimester of pregnancy
Yes. A MUGA scan is a nuclear medicine scan and does not involve magnetic fields as MRI's do.
Mri of the body... Or a cat scan of the head
Xray MRI CT Scan PET Scan
You can not eat carbohydrates before a Pet scan because it can show a raise in activity and metabolism in your body. This is because your body breaks down carbohydrates to store energy and the scan will show an inaccurate reading.
With a CAT scan or CT scan. Physicians will inject an intravenous contrast dye that will help to improve the quaility of images that develop. Some of the side-effects of the dye are: nausea and discomfort and in certain cases severe allergic reactions. It is recommended that patients do not eat before a CT scan to reduce the possible risk of feelings of nausea turning into a bout of vomiting. If you vomit while lying on your back for the scan, you may aspirate some of your stomach contents and possibly develop pneumonia.
Are you sure it was not just a False / Positive...those do tend to happen.
A ultrasound will pick up pregnancy between 5-7 weeks into pregnancy.
At 6 weeks and will be visible on a scan.
It means that your placenta is in the front of your uterus. This is not an issue in early pregnancy as the placenta usually moves as pregnancy progresses. If it is still anterior near end of pregnancy it can make you have to have a C-section. Also, it will be harder to feel the baby's kicks and movement as an anterior placenta cushions the baby from the tummy.
The title of a person who does your baby scan during pregnancy is a sonographer
If you're worried about it, see another doctor. You could have a "chemical" pregnancy, which tells your body that the baby's still there when it's not.
Yes because you may not be as far along as what you thought.
when you go for your 12 week scan you will definitely be able to see a (very tiny) roughly baby shaped baby on the scan congratulations!
Cry!!
If it is an early scan you must have got pregnant the month before. If it is a late scan (after 30 weeks) you may have a big baby. An early scan cannot be 4 weeks off. http://www.genetree.com/about/conception-calculator.asp
Either by having an ultrasound scan, or by having the amniotic fluid tested.
Yes, if you are early in pregnancy before you can feel your baby move. Later on, once you can feel your baby move you may feel a difference in the movements,a dead baby rolls rather than kicks. Go to your doctor or midwife and get them to scan you or just listen for the heartbeat to set your mind at rest.
