Is a dark line from your navel down your abdomen normal?

Posted on by
is linea alba normal during pregnancy

You are pregnant in your second trimester . You are getting dressed and you notice a  dark line from your navel down your abdomen.  Which answer is incorrect ?

-Increased melanin production is what makes your skin change color during pregnancy. At some point during your second trimester, you may notice a dark brown line running down the middle of your abdomen, between your belly button and pubic area. This line is called the linea alba.

-The linea nigra is the result of fluctuating hormones during pregnancy. One theory is that the hormones cause your body to produce larger amount of melanin (a compound responsible for giving your skin pigment), and this extra pigmentation shows up as a dark pregnancy line on your stomach.

-Soon after your baby is born, the linea nigra should start to fade. In some women, though, it may never completely disappear. And if you get pregnant again, expect to see that line reappear.

-Linea  Nigra  is a line indicator that you baby is growing to big and you need to watch your food intake .  This line seldom goes away after pregnancy.

Can you change your babies position from ROP (Right Occiput Posterior)?

Posted on by
Right Occiput Posterior

In Right Occiput Posterior (ROP), baby is head down and the back is to the side- the mother’s right side. This position can be deceptively reassuring. ROP is the most common of the four posterior positions. Right Occiput Posterior – Baby’s back favors mother’s right side and the back of baby’s head is towards mother’s posterior. The baby would end up delivering facing the ceiling which gives you the challenge of delivering the baby with largest diameter of the head. Very often women take over 3 hours to drop the head down enough to deliver, especially the first time mothers. How can you change the baby position from ROP?

  • Acupuncture 
  • Use of a Peanut Ball
  • You can not change an infant position 
  • Lying on your side with your leg elevated on pillows between your legs

Bloodclots after birth – is this normal? Nurse Jackies Tip of the week 9-7-20

Posted on by
blood clots after birth

You just had your baby.  When you go to the bathroom to refresh yourself you see blood clots. Is this normal? Which are the correct answers?

–Blood that doesn’t immediately pass through your vagina and out of your body may form clots. Sometimes these clots can be especially large immediately after giving birth. While blood clots are normal after pregnancy, too many blood clots or very large blood clots can be 

cause for concern

  • No, this is not normal and should seek immediate medical care
  • This is normal and you should massage your Fundus and make sure it is firm
  • You show lay down immediately and elevate your legs.
  • The clots should decrease in frequency and size over the next few weeks
  • You may not be resting enough and increasing the tendency to bleed this is why resting the first 4 weeks is so important and especially the first weeks
