U no when you r in your early stages of your pregnancy u no how your babys just a seed, well do u think it could just slip out when u pee or jump around, or if u move your belly around or if u sneeze really really hard..?? :(:(
and do u think if u do any of the above u could lose the baby and not b pregnant?:(
and if u drink a hot drink will ur baby melt to death inside of u??

How easyly can u lose ur baby wen its just a seed? Can u stick ur finger in ur u no where and can u pull out the baby just like that??

Or is it in a safe place ???

Im sorry for all the questions, plz reply..

Hi there how old are you? Are you pregnant?
The answer to all of your question is a big fat no. Your baby is protected inside the womb. Many things happen that protect your baby.

1) your baby is psychically attached to your womb by the umbilical cord. This means that even if you move around your baby will be attached and won't slip out no matter what you do.

2) once you are pregnant a 'plug' forms at the top of the cervix to protect the baby and stop anything from going into the womb itself. This stops infections etc reaching your baby. This means that nothing (including your finger) can reach the baby via the vagina.

3) a hot drink will not harm your baby. Although it is recommended that you don't take hot showers or baths during pregnancy, a hot drink will be fine. Best to stay away from too much caffenine though.

If you have anymore questions feel free yo pm me.

Hope this was helpful.

yes from the moment you get pregnant the baby starts growing and the umbilical cord grows with it. It is attached to the placenta, which like a big blood vessel. The placenta carries all the nutrients to the baby.

you can bath and shower as often as you like, it's just not reccomened to have the water turned onto a scalding heat.

You can have as many baths as you would like just make sure they are not boiling hot. Just have them slightly warmer than luke warm

Hi here is some information I got from a health site regarding hot baths and prenancy:

warm baths have been used for centuries for all sorts of reasons and the relaxing effect on body muscles and on the mind is well known. There is something "luxurious" about soaking in a warm bath and there is nothing to suggest that this is unsafe in pregnancy.

However, you do need to be cautious about "hot" baths as there is little known about the possible effects on the blood flowing through the placenta or on the baby. If the water is too hot, you could also feel faint or sick, as it could lower your blood pressure a bit too much -- not a good thing.

So how do you decide if your bath is "hot" or "warm"?

Test the water with your elbow or forearm before getting in as you would for a child. This part of your skin is more sensitive to temperature than your feet or hands. Warm should be just comfortable so that you can get straight in without having to get in bit by bit! A too-hot bath is also likely to affect the colour of your skin, turning it red, and you may find yourself sweating.

Happy soaking!

P.S- if you have had one or two hot baths don't worry its unlikely to do any harm just try not to have any more.!
I had a couple whilst pregnant with both my children and nothing happened except I did feel faint.

However I don't reccommend you do it as everyone is different.
