Ultrasound exam. At a mid-pregnancy ultrasound, usually done between 16 and 20 weeks, your baby will be carefully examined. Quad screen (second-trimester prenatal screening). Find out what the multiple marker screening test can tell you.
During the winter months, when light weakens, you may need to move your ficus to a stronger light. Be aware that, because the ficus is sensitive to change, it may drop leaves when you first move it, but it will recover in thirty to sixty days.
If the leaves are dropping during the winter, the problem may be excessive moisture, reduced light or both. When watering your ficus, make sure the excess water drains away and the roots are not sitting in wet soil. Too much moisture will also cause leaves to drop. If the soil is moist but the leaves are still dropping, move your plant to a spot with more light.
