Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
Spiting apart of your lower abdominal muscles is a medical
condition called diastasis recti. Normally the two muscles that run down the
front of the abdomen have no more than a mere centimeter between the left and
the right side. It can be detected by looking at your abdomen as you begin a
sit up. When you perform the first part of that sit up, which is raising your
head, there is enough tension to demonstrate a split in the muscles if you have
one. With that split you get an elongated bulge to your abdomen where the split
has occurred. Rarely there is no split, but the muscles have become so thin and
weak they function as if they aren’t even present. In some women the split is
only in the lower portion, but for many the split is all the way from your breast
bone to the start of your pelvic bone.
Weakened muscles in already very slim individuals from carrying a child
are the most common cause. Twins, triplets, many pregnancies, or a very large
baby contributes to getting diastasis recti. Some individuals who carry a lot
of fat around their waist, and around their internal organs can have the
condition as well. In the first few days and weeks after having a child some
weakness in these muscles is normal. Some strength building will help. Women
who have the severe form may find they have back pain, difficulty lifting their
new baby, and even difficulty in other every day events. Repairs are generally
considered cosmetic, but most women will report they have less pain and better
function after they have these repaired. The repair is done either by itself or
in conjunction with an abdominoplasty or what is known as a “tummy tuck”. It is
possible to do some repair at the time of a c-section. Eating higher protein and overall improving your nutrition will improve your muscles as well. If you aren't sure if you have this condition discuss with your gynecologist.
