Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to be monitored if it cannot tell if my baby is in danger?

Untitled Document
You may have been asked to come into hospital more frequently to have your baby’s heart rate monitored (cardiotocograph). There is no evidence to suggest that carrying out this procedure will identify the ‘at risk’ baby but it may help to reassure you. On the other hand, some women report that having to go into hospital so frequently actually increases their anxiety. Talk to your consultant or midwife about what you feel will help you the most.

Still, certain signs could indicate a problem.

Paula Tunney - Ultra Sounds
Depending on baby's position, we are happy to give our opinion as to what sex baby is. However ultrasound sexing of baby is not always 100 percent accurate, due to the position of baby and umbilical cord. You cannot be absolutely sure until baby is born! So it is recommended that you do not buy pink or blue until your are sure. As with any scan in your own hospital, there is always a chance that you may accidentally see the sex of baby and we are no different.

However, due to the anatomic position of the umbilical cord or simply the position of the fetus, it can sometimes be difficult to get a clear view of the genital area.

How can I tell if my baby is getting enough breastmilk?

Mother's Helper FAQ Page
Because you cannot measure how much breastmilk your baby is getting, counting diapers is one way to know he's getting enough in the early days and weeks. As a rule of thumb you are looking for 1-2 diapers on Day 1, 2-3 diapers on Day 2, 3-4 diapers on Day 3 and so on. Once your mature milk has come in (anywhere from 2-5 days usually) your baby should be having AT LEAST 5-6 wet disposable diapers and 2-5 or more stools per 24 hours.
