Is there less fetal movement when your in labor?

---

Just curious for the next time that I'm having strong contractions. Why is it that you should contact your doctor then when there is less fetal movement?
Generally you would expect less fetal movement during active labor; however, that is not always the case. There are plenty of instances where the little one is rocking away right up to the last minute.

If there is a noticeable decrease in fetal movement it could be a sign on fetal distress. As you get closer to the end the baby has less room to move so you should be feeling it's movements quite a bit more. If you notice that the baby is not moving as much, begin timing his/her movements over an hour's time. If you don't get count ten movements in an hour, drink a cup of cold juice (just something sweet, preferrably cold) and give it another hour or so. Call the doctor if you still can't get ten movements from your little one as the baby could be in distress (cord wrapped around the body or neck).

It's a precaution, but an important one. Just keep track of your little one's movements.  (+ info)

What makes certain diseases more likely to be frequent and widespread epidemics?

---

like cholera, the flu, dengue fever, and the plague. there's a list of epidemics on wikipedia and i'd like to know what those diseases have to make them so popular (in relation to deaths/occurences/etc) throughout history.
Thank you.
Interesting, isn't it? These diseases are living right alongside humans. Humans and these diseases grew up together - evolved together - perhaps we're dependent upon one another in some mystical way. (Read "Guns, Germs and Steel" J. Diamond).

So on the day you don't enforce the health laws (as we often don't in these recent times of republican "deregulation"), these diseases wait in the wings to step up and start killing people - we just saw this with the salmonella in the peanut butter.

Li'l Bush killed the food inspectors - the money had to go to his rich friends instead for more bottles of champagne. And now people are dead from this - and we're damned fortunate it wasn't worse.  (+ info)

What sort of diseases might cause slight limps but no deformity of the leg?

---

I need to know of a few diseases that a child might catch that would render her with a slight limp for the rest of her life, but no physical deformity.

Thanks.
The most frequent cause of limping in an otherwise normal youngster is the childhood disorder "transient synovitis of the hip." It is presumed that a virus produces inflammation in the lining of the hip joint since most affected children had a mild cold before they suddenly started limping. This self-limited condition usually occurs in boys between 2 to 12 years of age (average 6 years).
_____________________________________________

Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is a rare condition that always has to be considered when a child limps. It develops when, for unknown reasons, something happens to interrupt the blood supply to the top of the thigh (femoral) bone. This results in destruction of bone’s top causing pain when the child walks. Boys ages four to ten are five times more likely to be affected than girls. X-rays of he hip may be normal at first but repeated studies and bone scans make the diagnosis apparent.
______________________________________________

Another cause of limp in children is "slipped capital femoral epiphysis." For unknown reasons the top of the thigh (femoral) bone slides into an abnormal position causing an abnormal fit of the hip joint. It is most frequently seen in overweight male teenagers (10-15 years of age). There is often a history of slight injury and pain may be first felt at the knee, even though the condition afflicts the hip.

What is the maximum number number of diseases a person can carry at one time?

---

I tend to read a lot about people having 3-5 different diseases and dying, but what is the record for the person carrying the most diseases at one given time?
I didn't see a Guiness World Record for it either. Might be an interesting addition, though.
I've never heard of having 3-5 diseases at the same time. I have read, though, that people can carry a certain "virus" and never get sick with it, such as bacterial meningitis, herpes (oral) virus, and a few other's, but I can't remember them offhand.  (+ info)

How soon can you hear your babys heartbeat with a fetal doppler?

---

I go to my next dr. apt. on Thursday... Ill be 10 weeks 1 day pregnant...will they be able to hear the babys heart beat this soon? I already had a vaginal ultrasound done at 7 weeks 2 days and got to see and hear the babys heartbeat then, but now im wondering if ill be able to hear the heartbeat at every appointment with a fetal doppler???? this is my first baby, so im new to this stuff!! thanks ladies!
Normally you can't hear the baby's heartbeat with the fetal doppler until approximately 12 weeks. However, there are always exceptions and sometimes you can hear it before, or may not hear it until slightly later.

I heard my daughter with the doppler at exactly 12 weeks.

Good Luck and your appointment!  (+ info)

What diseases can you catch from interacting with dead corposes?

---

This is a serious question. A friend told me about a girl she knew who caught a very serious disease when she handled human remains in a lab. Yeah, I know she must of done something wrong but I'm curious to see what diseases she could of caught.
It is possible that whatever disease the person died of is still active and if she handled it, then she could have picked that up. Could be a lot of different disease she caught. Anything that is contagious and doesn't die quickly when the body dies.

They don't really have disease on their own that happen after death.  (+ info)
