The perinatal period is that around the time of birth. A perinatologist is an obstetrical specialist concerned with the care of the mother and fetus at higher-than-normal risk for complications. Since the perinatal period, depending on the definition, starts at the 20th to 28th week of gestation and ends 1 to 4 weeks after birth, a perinatologist logically could be an obstetrician or pediatrician but, in practice, a perinatologist is an obstetrician. Hope this helps!

How long does opiates stay in a unborn baby's system?
Im not sure EXACTLY how long but its not more than 24/48 hours. The placenta helps filter alot so not much even gets to the baby I was told by my perinatologist. I had to take percocet in my 9th month of pregnancy because I have Crohns disease and was in severe pain. The docs said it was safer for me to be out of pain and to not worry about the effects of 1 or 2 percs a day on the baby because she was 2 weeks from birth. I do hope your not taking Percs recreationally while pregs tho :( They'll give you a nice script for em as soon as you deliver! So just wait!
Can you feel the baby kick at 12 weeks' pregnant?
Its not likely; You probably won't feel your baby kick until around week 16 and 22, even though the baby has been moving since week 7 or 8. You may have already witnessed these movements during an ultrasound. This is often felt as a fluttering feeling or a grasshopper walking across your belly during the first movements.
