I heard that the friend of my cousin who
was pregnant found that the baby was dead
at 7th month. We are all shocked. How
is it possible and what are the chances.
See I am 19 weeks preg and I am really
scared. How can I protech my baby.
Please let me know are there are any
dangers causing to the fetus when it is in
stomach.

Loss of a baby specially at the later
stage of pregnancy is extremely difficult.
But it doesn't mean that it will also
happen to you. At the later stage of
your pregnancy, the movement of the
fetus/baby will be more predictable
(starting 6th mo onwards). I am
currently on my 30th week and my dr told
me that no movement for at least 3 hours,
has to be reported and an immediate
check-up is necessary. I was starting
to panic last week. Since I was a bit
busy, did not notice if my baby moved for
the last 2 hours. Rang husband
immediately and ask him to be on stand-by
in case I still don't feel the baby move
in the next 30 mins. I drank a sweet
warm drink and lay down for 30 mins. I
was very thankful that the baby moved and
kicked in just about 10 mins. What a
relief!
For the meantime, worrying is the least
you should do (though it is easier said
than done). Talk about your concerns
with your partner, family and close
friends to give you more assurance and
positive aura. For as long as you eat
healthy foods, it should not be a problem.
Most important thing though, as soon as
your instinct tells you there is something
wrong, go and see your dr immediately.
Have a healthy pregnancy ahead of you.
