The petroleum industry of Saudi Arabia accounts for 80% of its budget revenues, 90% of its export earnings, and 45% of the country’s GDP. The country is a leading producer of oil and natural gas, and is ranked eighth in terms of petroleum refining capacity in the world. Discovery of new oil fields by Saudi Aramco such as the Arsan, the AsSayd, the Namlan, and the Qamran oilfields and the Jalamid gasfield in 2010 will likely further increase the country’s importance in the global petroleum sector and boost its revenue. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=102 |

Despite all these external factors, the government is interested in encouraging investment in the production of gold and silver, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, platinum-group metals (PGM), tin, and zinc. Experts feel that the country needs to attract foreign investment and create job opportunities for the development of the mineral industry.

Welcome to Oman
Oman is a part of the Middle East and is located between Yemen and UAE. The total area of the country is 309,500 km 2, and it has a population of 3,090,150 as of July 2012. The country experiences mostly dry desert climate. The national flag of Oman. Image Credit: CIA Factbook
Oman’s middle-income economy relies heavily on its oil resources, which has been dwindling over the years. However, the economy is still sustained by increased oil production as advanced oil recovery methods have been implemented. High global oil prices coupled with increased production provided the country with extra time to diversify and extra revenue to invest in other sectors. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=152 |

Oman’s coal deposits do not meet the grade and specifications required for use in thermal power plants. The country thereby depends on imports. Oman’s crude oil production is only seventh in comparison with other Middle East countries and accounted for about 1% of total world crude oil production in 2010. Investment
Experts state that Oman’s mineral sector will continue to grow significantly in the next five years as the country has assured global investment from Canada, India, and other Gulf countries. Another reason is that the royalty charged by the government is quite favorable. To further attract foreign and private investors, the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) is getting ready to organize the country’s first mines and mineral exhibition and conference this year to showcase its unexploited mineral and metal wealth. About seven or eight large non-metallic mineral reserves have been located recently, which are essential in almost every industry. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=152 |

The key natural resources in Iraq include natural gas, petroleum, sulfur and phosphates. In 2010, Iraq was globally considered as the 11 th largest producer of crude oil whose production averaged about 2.5 Mbbl/d and accounted for 3.1% of the crude oil output in the world. Between 2009 and 2010, the exports of crude oil in the country averaged 1.9 Mbbl/d and during this period Iraq was one of the leading oil exporting countries in the world. In 2010, Iraq had significant reserves of gravel, sandstone and standard sand. Besides being a chief producer of natural gas and crude oil, the country also produced small quantities of sulfur, cement, bauxite, clays, limestone, gypsum, bentonite, salt and kaolin. Industrial Minerals
In 2010, Iraq was a leading cement importer in the Middle East. Several investors were invited by the Ministry of Industry and Minerals (MIM) to develop five cement plants in the country in order to use the numerous limestone reserves available in Iraq. Investors were attracted by the low production cost, wide spread of raw materials and increasing local market demand. The Paleocene Akashat Formation in Iraq’s Western desert is known for its phosphate rock deposits. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=163 |

Investment
Iraq’s 2012 budget forecasts oil exports of 2.6 bbl/day that will result in an increase from the country’s average of 2.2 bbl/day in 2011. The country aims at upgrading its export, oil processing and pipeline infrastructure to attract foreign investments. Such improvements are of urgent significance as Iraq still experiences an unstable political and security system, corruption, insufficient essential services, antiquated commercial laws and outdated infrastructure. Solving these issues will indeed give way for more investments and speed up the growth of the country’s non-oil and private sectors. Iraq is thus planning to introduce a new set of laws that will establish a modern legal framework for the oil sector and also develop a mechanism for equal distribution of oil revenues within the nation. The country hopes to expand its mineral industry in the near future and further enhance the supply of its commodities for the country’s reconstruction projects and infrastructure. The country’s production of natural gas and crude oil is also likely to increase through the enrollment of foreign oil companies in the development of the country’s hydrocarbon resources. The production of crude oil, cement, phosphate, sulfur and phosphate rock are also expected to see an increase in the future in order to satisfy the domestic demand for the country’s mineral commodities. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=163 |

Content: The mineral base at the Navoi GMK comprised 20 uranium deposits. In 2010, the Boztaus plateau had uranium reserves that amounted to 5,500 t. Uranium exploration in this plateau was carried out by the Chinese company, Uz-China Uran. Investment
Recent news from the mining sector highlights Oxus Gold’s claim against the Uzbek government for the confiscation of the company’s investments in the Khandiza deposit and the Amantaytau Goldfields. Despite such negative reports the country still hopes to increase its mineral production capacity by increasing the output of gold, uranium and hydrocarbons within the next 10 years. As part of this plan the country also expects to upgrade its infrastructure and production facilities in its mining and mineral sectors and expand its pipelines. Uzbekistan has also made efforts to modernize the Navoi and Almalyk GMKs and speed up its gold and copper production operations. The government intends to develop joint ventures with Russian and Asian companies as part of their initiatives to improve the country’s mineral and mining sectors. With these new developments, Uzbekistan hopes to bring about major changes and improvements in its mining and mineral sectors that will likely repair the country’s economic instability.

Morocco hopes to attract international investors and establish global joint ventures through plans to introduce a new mining law in 2013, which will likely boost its mining industry. Experts feel that Morocco has the potential for mining silver, zinc, cobalt and magnesium. Recent reports on phosphates highlight the fact that the world will soon find itself running out of this commodity. At present about 15% of phosphate is obtained from the mines in Western Sahara and Morocco and the shortage of this will to a large extent affect the agricultural sector of Brazil and India. The government also hopes to attract international investments to boost its petroleum and naturals gas sectors, introduce new mining reform programs and privatize specific mining assets owned by the state. In the coming years, the output of zinc, silver and lead is expected to decline due to decrease in the number of reserves. The production of tin will increase only if Kasbah Resources decides to operate the Achmmach Mine. On the whole, the production of phosphate will continue to dominate Morocco’s mineral industry, and with this increase in phosphate output and developments in the mining and mineral sectors, the country is expected to see a major development in its economic growth rate in the coming years.

In 2006, the United States of America had banned investment in Sudan’s oil sector as it believed that the revenue from that sector was used to fund military operations in Darfur. Despite the adverse circumstances, the government of North Sudan is working towards upgrading its mining sector. Over the last two years it has signed more than 50 agreements for gold and iron mining as the country needs to capitalize on its gold reserves. Global gold mining companies from Australia, Europe and the US are already involved in gold exploration activities. Newly formed South Sudan is now formulating its own mining law, which is likely to be ready by October this year. This would help the mining sector begin functioning in full force. The new government is also keen to focus on other mineral reserves so as to avoid over-dependence on the oil sector. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=191 |

An American salt miner intending to carry out a $70 million worth salt mining project in Djibouti claimed that the country is abundantly rich in salt as it has 50 square miles of salt which is a boon to Djibouti’s mining industry. According to experts, Djibouti is a small country with big dreams that have bright prospects in the coming years. In 2008, the country was filled with foreign investments that included gold miners from India, French bankers and Saudi Arabia oil engineers. Djibouti’s port has also attracted huge investments from Dubai. Recent mining reports talk about the mining activities carried out by an international coalition of sailors and divers for a period of 12 days. These mining activities demonstrate the usage of magnetized cables, underwater drones, sonar and helicopter-towed acoustic devices to foresee Iran’s interference in oil exports. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=205 |

Venezuela’s economy is mainly based on its supply of petroleum products and hence it was greatly affected by a sudden fall in oil prices during the global recession. The Venezuelan government has implemented tax incentives for small and large companies that had invested in the country’s mining sector, in an attempt to boost the economy. Despite having abundant resources like gold, aluminum, and petroleum, the country’s mining industry is still underdeveloped. Few Australian companies play a vital role in the mining industry of Venezuela. Excel Mining and RFC Finance Corporation are the companies involved in two mining projects in the country. However, the government has nationalized many industries that have major control over the country’s natural resources. The government has invested about US$5.81 billion to develop its mining industry. It has also approved US$159 million for the workers in the country's heavy industries that extract and manufacture gold, bauxite, iron, and other mineral resources. The country’s large reserves of crude petroleum are more likely to attract investment from countries like Russia, Italy, Iran, and China in the future, despite its uncertain economic condition and nationalization initiatives. | https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=73 |

Content: Both of these tests are unsuitable, however, as the serum test cannot differentiate between B12 and its analogues, whilst the homocysteine test is also influenced by levels of folate and vitamin B6 (9). Exact chemical measurements have shown that this alga simply contains ineffective analogues. Nori – Still in Question
One potential source that is still being debated is the red algae nori (porphyra). Some studies have identified its content as B12 analogues (6), whilst others have come to the conclusion that the B12 which is measured in the fresh alga is destroyed during the drying process. It has also been demonstrated that eating dried nori actually worsened the vitamin B12 status in the body (10). On the other hand, some studies have shown that nori contains large quantities of genuine vitamin B12 (11, 12) and that it had a clear biological effect when tested on rats (13). The aforementioned results regarding nori are still widely disputed and have mostly been interpreted as an indication that, since the vitamin B12 and analogue content varies so much from test to test, no clear statement can be made on nori as a B12 source. Using this information, nori cannot be considered a reliable source of the vitamin, as it is not possible for the consumer to check the B12 content of each specific product. Chlorella – Currently the Best Candidate
Out of all the potential plant sources of B12, chlorella is the most promising at present. Yet even here there are also contradictory studies: | https://www.b12-vitamin.com/algae/ |

Nobody loves getting injections, but if you need regular vitamin B12 supplements, then you’re all too familiar with vitamin B12 injection pain. The dull throbbing and soreness, side effects of prescribed intramuscular (IM) injections can last forever, even if you self-inject vitamin B12 in the comfort of your own home. Listed are some helpful tips for reducing localized muscular pain and irritation caused by vitamin B12 injections. If you have vitamin B12 deficiency from pernicious anemia or as a result of bariatric surgery, then you must supplement with vitamin B12 regularly in order to prevent debilitating symptoms such as fatigue, depression, muscle pain, memory loss, and other signs of cognitive and neurological breakdown. Vitamin B12 injections are not for the faint of heart, though, as they must be inserted in thick, deep muscular tissue in order to work. 1- Ice the injection site
Before injecting with vitamin B12, apply ice to your thigh, hip, or groin- wherever you plan on inserting the needle. If the B12 shot is painful, then your muscles impulsively flex as a reaction to the needle’s insertion. | https://www.b12patch.com/blog/vitamin-b12-injection-pain-7-helpful-tips/ |

Before injecting with vitamin B12, apply ice to your thigh, hip, or groin- wherever you plan on inserting the needle. If the B12 shot is painful, then your muscles impulsively flex as a reaction to the needle’s insertion. By numbing the skin at the injection site first with ice or topical creams, then you reduce some the bruising and soreness that come with weekly or monthly vitamin B12 injections. 2- Vary the injection site
If you receive vitamin B12 injections often, then it’s important not to use the same location on the body as your injection site two times in a row. Alternate between right and left, and experiment with popular points for injecting vitamin B12, such as the thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen, or upper arm.

3- Relax
This may be a hard pill to swallow, especially if you’re usually nervous about sharp needles, but it really does help to sit in a comfortable position before submitting to a vitamin B12 shot, and force your muscles to relax as the needle goes in and the thick fluid enters your muscular tissue. 4- Ask for help
It’s okay to pass the needle to somebody else, even if you’ve opted for vitamin B12 self-injections. | https://www.b12patch.com/blog/vitamin-b12-injection-pain-7-helpful-tips/ |

Content: Bank transfers can even happen without a fee, as banks are only allowed to charge the same amount for SEPA payments as for their equivalents in local currencies - if there is a fee waiver on domestic transfers in euros, there must be one for international ones. SEPA enables businesses and customers to use cross-border bank transfers without the hassle and fees associated with conventional banking. For exporters who want to access SEPA, a bank account in one of the member countries is required. While it might be difficult to open an IBAN account in Europe without being formally registered in one of the members countries, we have found a solution: with our virtual bank account you can benefit from the initiative. SEPA points to a single currency system, yet in reality, many of the countries participating in the system did not adopt the common currency. The agreements at the core of the system have encouraged financial institutions in all 36 SEPA member countries to offer Euro bank accounts to their customers, so they can also benefit from it. There are exceptions: Akrotiri and Dhekelia, French Southern and Antarctic Lands, Kosovo, and Montenegro are the countries that use euro as a currency and are not part of the SEPA.

Content: Though the fetus is constantly moving, you will not be able to actually feel fetal movement for several more weeks. All of the organs, muscles, and nerves are in place and beginning to function. As the hands and feet develop fingers and toes, they have lost their paddle like look. The touch pads on the fingers form and already have fingerprints. During this week of pregnancy the crown to rump length of the fetus is 0. 9 inch to 1. 2 inches (22 to 30mm), weight 0. 07 ounce (2gm). They are now on the way to forming their testicles or ovaries, getting ready for the next generation. Until the ninth week of fetus development, the fetal reproductive apparatus is the same one for the both sexes. | https://www.baby2see.com/development/week10.html |

Content: If you qualify for SSI, you may also be able to get help from your state or county. For example, in most states, people who get SSI automatically qualify for Medicaid (see below). Medicaid
This joint federal and state program administered by your state can help with health care costs, even if you have health insurance. If you are enrolled in Medicaid and have private insurance, for instance, Medicaid may cover services that your private plan does not. Your eligibility for Medicaid will depend on family income, family size, and other factors (such as citizenship or immigration status). If you were receiving Medicaid when your baby was born, your baby will automatically be eligible for Medicaid, too. As the parent of a baby who's receiving Medicaid, you will be eligible for 60 days after the birth (or longer, if you continue to qualify). Visit the Medicaid website to find out whether you or your child qualify for Medicaid as well as other programs offered by your state. Another program your child may qualify for is the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). CHIP provides health coverage to children in families who can't afford private health insurance but who have incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_7-sources-of-financial-help-for-you-and-your-preemie_10371026.bc |

For more information about Medicaid and CHIP, visit InsureKidsNow.gov. WIC
WIC, the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children, is federally funded and run by the states. It provides food, healthcare referrals, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women and to infants and children up to age 5. To qualify, you or your child needs to meet financial eligibility requirements and be deemed at nutritional risk. To find out more about how to apply, check out the WIC prescreening tool or contact your state agency. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_7-sources-of-financial-help-for-you-and-your-preemie_10371026.bc |

The transformation from a tiny fertilized egg to a fully formed baby is awe-inspiring. Here's a look at the major milestones babies in utero typically reach, from conception to birth, and approximately when they happen. First trimester
3 weeks
Your baby-in-the-making is a ball of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst already contains a full set of DNA from you and your partner, which determines sex, eye color, and other traits. 4 weeks
The ball of cells has officially become an embryo and is about the size of a poppy seed. Over the next six weeks, all of your baby's organs will begin to develop, and some will start to function. 5 weeks
Your baby's tiny heart begins to beat – at twice the rate of yours. His entire "body" is only about the size of a sesame seed. 6 weeks
Facial features (like eyes and nostrils) are beginning to form, and little buds appear where arms and legs will develop. 8 weeks
Arms and legs are growing, and your baby now has little fingers, as well as a nose and upper lip. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_fetal-development-timeline_10357636.bc |

Facial features (like eyes and nostrils) are beginning to form, and little buds appear where arms and legs will develop. 8 weeks
Arms and legs are growing, and your baby now has little fingers, as well as a nose and upper lip. He's moving quite a bit now, but you won't feel it. He's about 5/8 of an inch long and weighs hardly anything – four-hundredths of an ounce. 9 weeks
Eyes have developed, though your baby's eyelids are fused shut for now. She's lost her "tail" and is starting to look more human. 10 weeks
The embryo has become a fetus. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_fetal-development-timeline_10357636.bc |

The embryo has become a fetus. His vital organs – such as kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver – are starting to function. Tiny fingernails and toenails are starting to form. 11 weeks
Your baby is almost fully formed. Her bones are beginning to harden, and her genitalia are developing externally. She can hiccup, though it's too soon for you to feel it. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_fetal-development-timeline_10357636.bc |

Content: Detecting hCG in the urine of someone 6 months pregnant (when there's plenty of hCG) versus 6 days past ovulation (when there's a very small amount of hCG) are two very different tasks. The ability of a test to pick up small amounts of hCG in your urine depends on the sensitivity of the test. It's not always easy to tell which tests are the most sensitive. New products come out frequently, and manufacturers can make improvements at any time. But some package inserts provide information about a test's sensitivity – that is, they report the lowest concentration of hCG in milli-International Units per milliliter (mIU/ml) of urine that the test can detect. For example, a pregnancy test that claims to be able to detect hCG at 20 mIU/ml should be more sensitive than one that claims to detect it at 50 mIU/ml. advertisement | page continues below
How do I use a home pregnancy test? For best results when using a home pregnancy test: Make sure the test is current. Check the expiration date on the package, especially if you've had it for a while. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_home-pregnancy-tests_2029.bc |

How do I use a home pregnancy test? For best results when using a home pregnancy test: Make sure the test is current. Check the expiration date on the package, especially if you've had it for a while. If you've been storing the test anywhere that gets moist or warm, like the bathroom, it may have deteriorated. If that's the case, it's better to throw it away and get a new one. Test first thing in the morning. Your urine is most concentrated when you first get up, so hCG levels (if present) will be easier to detect at that time. Read the directions carefully. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_home-pregnancy-tests_2029.bc |

You can ask your baby's doctor or check with your state's newborn screening program for details. How much does newborn screening cost? Screening in some states is free. Others charge from about $15 to $150.

A hospital or birthing center may bill you for the fee separately or include it in the charge for delivery. Will the screening tests hurt my baby? How are they done?

Blood test: A quick needle prick on one heel provides the few drops of blood needed to screen for certain disorders, including metabolic, genetic, and endocrine problems.

Is there an effective treatment, and does it work best when started as early as possible? Cost and funding. Can a responsible party – usually the parent's insurance company, Medicaid, or the state – afford the test for all newborns? Do the benefits of identifying the disorder justify the cost?

Content: How to potty train in three days
Day one: Get up with your child as soon as he wakes up. For the rest of the day, have him go naked below the waist. Take turns with your potty training partner watching your child for signs that he needs to pee or poop. When he starts to go, carry him quickly to the potty as you say, "Pee goes in the potty." Have salty or watery snacks throughout the day (in addition to regular meals), and drink lots of water so everyone has to pee often. Celebrate your child's success whenever any amount of pee (even a few drops) or poop goes into the potty rather than on the floor. When this happens, do your potty dance. You can also give praise, high-fives, and so on. If your child has an accident, say, "Pee (or poop) goes in the potty," as you clean it up. | https://www.babycenter.com/0_potty-training-in-three-days-or-less_10310078.bc |

Content: Day three: Follow the instructions for day one. After nap time in the afternoon, go out for about 30 minutes (just like on day two). Have your child use the potty just before leaving the house each time. Dress your child in loose pants with nothing underneath. Bring along a change of clothes and a small travel potty in case your child needs to go while you're out. After your potty training weekend
After your child manages to get some pee in the potty 10-12 times, you can expect that your child will start to take herself to the potty when she has to go. But to seal the deal, some follow-up needs to happen: Have your child go naked below the waist when you're at home for the next three months. ( You can use diapers for nap time and nighttime as needed.) | https://www.babycenter.com/0_potty-training-in-three-days-or-less_10310078.bc |

Content: What happens during these appointments? The goal of prenatal visits is to see how your pregnancy is proceeding and to provide you with information to help keep you and your baby healthy. It's important that you go to all of your prenatal appointments, even if you're feeling just fine and believe that everything is progressing perfectly. Your practitioner will start by asking how you're feeling physically and emotionally, whether you have any complaints or worries, and what questions you may have. She'll also ask you about your baby's movements, once you begin to feel them. Your practitioner will have other questions as well, which will vary depending on how far along you are and whether there are specific concerns. Your midwife or doctor will also: Check your weight, blood pressure, and urine
Check for swelling
Measure your abdomen
Check the position of your baby
Listen to your baby's heartbeat
Perform other exams and order tests, as appropriate
Give you the appropriate vaccinations
Closely monitor any complications you have or that you develop, and intervene if necessary
Your practitioner may also do a pelvic exam to check for cervical changes near the end of your pregnancy. advertisement | page continues below
At the end of the visit, your practitioner will review the findings with you, explain the normal changes to expect before your next visit and the warning signs to watch for, counsel you about lifestyle issues (such as the importance of good nutrition, oral health, wearing seatbelts, and avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs), and discuss the pros and cons of optional tests you may want to consider.

What do the experts think? Top questions about home daycare
The bottom line
Introduction
Home daycare, also known as family daycare, is exactly what it sounds like – daycare in a home instead of a center. This arrangement has been around as long as parents have had neighbors and friends nearby to help care for their kids. Today it's a way for many parents who prefer to stay at home and who truly enjoy taking care of children to do work they love and contribute to the family finances at the same time. " Most home providers have made a conscious decision to do this as a career," says Anne Mead, treasurer of the National Association for Family Child Care. The United States has more than 280,000 regulated home daycares – almost three times the number of licensed childcare centers. According to a 1996 report by the National Center for Education Statistics, home daycares (and probably many more that aren't regulated) provide care for 14 percent of the more than 21 million U.S. children under six, making home daycare the third most popular option after center care and relative care. | https://www.babycenter.com/baby/childcare/home-daycare-overview_46 |

2 weeks: Fertilization
At the start of this week, you ovulate. Your egg is fertilized 12 to 24 hours later if a sperm penetrates it – and this simple biological occurrence begins a series of increasingly complicated processes that leads to a new human life, if all goes well. Over the next several days, the fertilized egg will start dividing into multiple cells as it travels down the fallopian tube, enters your uterus, and starts to burrow into the uterine lining. Read about fertilization. 3 weeks: Implantation
Now nestled in the nutrient-rich lining of your uterus is a microscopic ball of hundreds of rapidly multiplying cells that will develop into your baby. This ball, called a blastocyst, has begun to produce the pregnancy hormone hCG, which tells your ovaries to stop releasing eggs. | https://www.babycenter.com/fetal-development-week-by-week |

via health.harvard.edu
While many of us older adults find ourselves battling high blood pressure levels later on in life, premature infants find themselves fighting the opposite condition. A low blood pressure level in premature infants occurs fairly often and is something that doctors will monitor closely. This dip in levels can happen for several reasons in newborns but commonly attributed to blood loss during delivery, fluid loss during childbirth, infections that the infant has contracted or medications that were administered to the mother. Low blood pressure levels are also often seen in babies who have Respiratory Distress Disorder. 10 They can be at a higher risk for behavioral challenges
via centerforresilientchildren.org
When you give birth to your baby, there is no telling what kind of personality traits or behavioral characteristics they will end up exhibiting when they are older. Premature infants also run the risk of developing behavioral challenges down the road. Infants born at 36 weeks are more likely to require behavioral and psychiatric needs. According to some research, infants who arrived even a month early were less likely to follow directions and perform memory tasks when compared to full term born children. 9 Learning concerns may be more prevalent down the line

Plenty of preemie babies go on to lead incredible fulfilling and normal lives, beating even the greatest odds set against them at their birth.

Plenty of preemie babies go on to lead incredible fulfilling and normal lives, beating even the greatest odds set against them at their birth. Some of these infants, however, will go on to develop learning issues as they become school-aged. One study shows reduced developmental outcomes at nine months of age. These outcomes weren't detectable in the toddler years but resurfaced around kindergarten, particularity affecting reading and math. When you have a premature baby, it's wise to consider certain early intervention services if you and your doctor feel it is necessary for your kiddo's future learning endeavors. 8 There is an increased chance of particular developmental disorders

Positive Pregnancy Test Results
Content: Test strips and cassette tests require that you collect your urine in a clean, dry container. You then either dip the test or use a dropper to transfer the urine into the test. When Should I Take a Pregnancy Test? The best time of day to take a home pregnancy test is first thing in the morning. The hCG in your urine will be more concentrated at that time. If you want to take the test later in the day, be sure to limit the liquids you drink before you use the pregnancy test. The pregnancy hormone will be more concentrated at this point. If you are drinking a lot of liquids, you may dilute the level of hCG so it will not show up as a positive result. Ultimately, the best time, during your cycle, to take a pregnancy test is when you have missed your period. However, most women don't want to wait. | https://www.babyhopes.com/articles/faint-line-pregnancy-test.html |

Best Pregnancy Tests to Take in 2021
Wondering if you’re pregnant? The best pregnancy tests will help you get your answer. Excitement, anxiety, hope: wondering if you’re pregnant can be nerve-racking. A home pregnancy test can quickly reveal if you’re expecting—some even work before your period is late—so you can get that need-to-know answer right away. When is the Best Time to Take a Pregnancy Test? The best time to take a pregnancy test is when your period is late. But some at-home pregnancy tests say they can detect if you’re pregnant or not up to five days before your period is due to start. How do they do it? At-home pregnancy tests use the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to detect pregnancy, and some are more sensitive to hCG than others. | https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/best-pregnancy-tests |

Content: When is the Best Time to Take a Pregnancy Test? The best time to take a pregnancy test is when your period is late. But some at-home pregnancy tests say they can detect if you’re pregnant or not up to five days before your period is due to start. How do they do it? At-home pregnancy tests use the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to detect pregnancy, and some are more sensitive to hCG than others. So that’s why some tests work earlier when you have less of the hormone, while others won’t show a positive until later when you have a higher amount. The best time of day to take a pregnancy test is first thing in the morning. Your urine is more concentrated in the a.m., so there’s more of that hCG in it. You can take a pregnancy tests at other times of the day, though there’s more of a chance of an inaccurate result. Also make sure not to drink a lot of water or other liquids, as you’ll dilute your urine. | https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/best-pregnancy-tests |

One of the major benefits of using a test that checks the hormone levels in urine is that there are many of these tests available in stores. This allows you to take a pregnancy test in the privacy of your own home at a time that is convenient for you. However, it does take the pregnancy hormones longer to show up in urine than in blood. This means that you cannot get the result as soon as you can with a blood test. By the time of a missed period about 3 in 4 pregnant women have a positive pregnancy test. | https://www.babymed.com/best-time-when-to-take-a-pregnancy-test |

It is important to note that a negative home pregnancy test is not 100% reliable although a positive test usually means you are pregnant. | https://www.babymed.com/best-time-when-to-take-a-pregnancy-test |

If the test reads negative and your period doesn't begin for another week, retesting is indicated as the hCG levels may not have been high enough to trigger a positive test result. Urine pregnancy tests that read positive should immediately be followed up with a physician. There are no false positives when it comes to an at home urine pregnancy test.

When should I take a pregnancy blood test? Taking a pregnancy test that checks the hormone levels in the blood can only be done at a hospital or a doctors’ office. Additionally, you have to wait several hours to several days for the results because they must be run by a lab. Waiting for these results can be nerve-wracking which is one of the reasons they are less popular than the quicker urine tests. However, the blood test does have benefits over the urine test. The blood test can be done a few days sooner and is slightly more accurate. | https://www.babymed.com/best-time-when-to-take-a-pregnancy-test |

About Dr. Mark Gostine
Content: What happens in the 2nd and 3rd Trimesters? The second trimester is week 13 – 27 and the third trimester is from week 28 to birth. In the second trimester, during weeks 15 to 18, fetal movements begin. In weeks 19 – 21, the baby can hear and you may feel fluttering in your lower abdomen. At week 22, you will begin to feel the baby moving and a fetal heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope. The baby develops a startle reflex at about week 26 and rapid brain development occurs as you move into the third trimester. In that final trimester, the nervous and respiratory systems develop, bones begin to form and fingernails and hair grow. How can I follow my baby’s growth in detail? In order to understand in detail how your baby is developing between prenatal doctor visits, refer to the Pregnancy Calendar.

Content: To screen all Minnesota infants. To identify infants with rare, hidden disorders or with hearing loss at an early age when treatment and intervention can prevent health problems, help facilitate development, and save lives. To ensure that all infants with abnormal newborn screens have access to prompt diagnostic assessments and receive early intervention services. To improve systems for follow-up, reporting, and connection to services for infants identified by newborn screening. Newborn screening in Minnesota consists of three tests: blood spot screening, hearing screening, and pulse oximetry
Pulse oximetry, or pulse ox, is a painless, non-invasive test that measures how much oxygen is in the blood. Infants with heart problems may have low blood oxygen levels, and therefore, the pulse ox test can help identify babies that may have Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD). The test is done using a machine called a pulse oximeter, which is a sensor placed on the baby’s skin. The pulse ox test only takes a couple of minutes and is performed after the baby is 24 hours old and before he or she leaves the newborn nursery. screening. | https://www.babysfirsttest.org/newborn-screening/states/minnesota |
