I am one of those women who just seem to show really early on in pregnancy. With my daughter, I had a belly at 10 weeks. Strangers could tell I was pregnant by 14 weeks and by 18 weeks I was unmistakeably pregnant. Well now I am pregnant with baby #2 and I will be 7 weeks tomorrow. I feel like I am already showing. I know this is just bloat since the baby is the size of a seed at this point, but I honestly already have a belly. I love the baby bump but right now I feel like I look like I'm just fat. I know second pregnancies show sooner but this seems crazy. So when did you ladies show with your first vs. second vs. third, etc? Thanks!

I know that where you live they may have a different name for this, it is the ultrasound before 14weeks where they look for Spina Bifida, Down's Syndrome, and Trisomy 18. They also do blood work to measure proteins in your blood, ....or something? I am 10 weeks and 3 days pregnant and had my first prenatal appt. with an OB yesterday. They are sending me for this IPS test (Integrated Prenatal Screening) within a couple of weeks. I never had this test done with my son. The pamphlet said that many women will have "positive" results for one of these abnormalities, but few women actually go on to have disabled children. Most of the time the children are born without any type of abnormality. It says 4 in 100 women will have a positive result and all this means is that there is A CHANCE for these things and that most women go on to have normal babies. So I am a bit confused on the point to this test. Why put worry into a mothers head if really, chances are, the baby will be fine? Has anybody ever had a positive result and the baby was fine? What about a positive and there was actually a problem with the baby? I know many most people would like to know ahead of time if there may be a problem, but can't they come up with a better test? LOL I mean scaring all these families seems stupid! And if your child was going to be born with Down's, or SB, or Trisomy 18...is it really going to affect whether you keep the baby or not? I guess I am just really nervous, and confused... 4 in every 100 women doesn't seem so rare to me...

a white bump beside nipple on the light brown area. the white bump has a dark brown circle around it. The same nipple is red on the inside and a little scaly and i have red streaks (stretch marks?) on the same breast. I also developed red lines in the cleavage going vertical. I am not pregnant and have never had kids. I am 18 years old any ideas?

Thank you for coming to help me! I got a paraguard(copper) iud in Novermber 09. Im 18 years old no kids. I haven't had my period in a while. I had a period when I got the iud, then maybe twice after that (I'm pretty sure only once though I cant remember). But this month is the second month I have not had a period. I'm not pregnant, i haven't had sex in about 6 weeks. My BMI is between 19.5 -2.5. Could I be missing my period since my new medication (adderal) ? I am prescribed 20mg a day and using as prescribed. Could their be something wrong with my body? Before my IUD I have very very normal periods. once every 4weeks. Thank you for your help!

Hi, I am 18 , 19 in 2 months and last night found out I am pregnant to my boyfriend who is 23. He lives his house mates and I basically live there. We are both very much in love. We both work, me only 20 hrs a week as I am at uni at the moment. All I have been doing is crying feeling guilty about having an abortion. I went to the doctor and he said i am 5 weeks along. My bf thinks I should have an abortion as we are young and not stable enough for a child, but if I decide to keep it he said he is going no where & will make it ok. I feel terrible and I know having an abortion is a wiser option but after it I imagine I will be quite upset and feel guilty and sad about doing this, as I already am now. Any suggestions to what I should do or advice..? Any feedback and comments is much appreciated.

i think i may have a problem staying pregnant ... i got pregnant by my now ex-boyfriend, the pregnancy was terminated at 9 weeks in august of 2008. and after the procedure i got an infection( i was told they didnt remove everything)... i met my fiancee 6 months later and found out i was pregnant in late march of 2009, on april 7th 2009 we were in a car accident and i had a miscarriage (i was about 8 or 9 weeks). we were devastated! then in early july i found out i was pregnant again. i was scared i would have another miscarriage at about 8 weeks. i was relieved when i made it to 9 weeks. i went to my pre-natal appointment, and everything looked fine. the doctor tried to find the heartbeat but couldnt hear it. i was told it might be to early. i went back at 12 weeks and the doctor listened for the heartbeat but again couldnt hear it. i was then sent for an ultrasound. i was even more devastated when i found out that we didnt even have a baby! i had what was called a "molar pregnancy". pretty much there was a problem with the sperm or egg and i had a placenta growing inside me for 12 weeks. i had a d&c performed september 18 2009. we have been trying to get pregnant now since november of last year. we desperately want to have a baby, but im afraid that i cant since my first pregnancy was terminated! after the procedure was performed i was told i might not be able to have kids. is this true? or were my pregnancies just too close together, and i hadnt completely healed yet? any info would be greatly appreciated! to those who think im a horrible person for having an abortion .... the ex-boyfriend left me when he found out i was pregnant and told me he would rather continue to smoke crack than start a family with me. and im one of those people who believe its unfair to the child to not have both parents there to learn from

I am 18, i graduated from high school a half a year early and am almost done with my first semester of college. My boyfriend is 17 going to be 18 in July and he is starting college in August. He is ADD and Dsylexic so school is definitly not his thing but he is willing to give it a try. Though he is pretty sure that he won't like college at all so he is really leaning towards the Navy. Anyways tonight my brother and him were talking and my brother told him that he wants to be an uncle within a year. I just walked into the room when this was said and they both gave me a big smile and high fived eachother. Within a few minutes my boyfriend explained how he wants to have a baby soon and my brother was backing him up. Though I told them both that their will be no baby until there is a ring on my finger. You should also probably know that we have been dating for 8 months and we unfortunatly had an early miscarriage a couple months ago (i was 2 and half weeks along). My boyfriend has made subtle hints about trying for another one. Like saying while he is away ill have college, our dog and baby to take care of. What are you thoughts on this? Please be open minded but not rude. Thanks! :D

Ok hello everyone Im approximately 18 weeks & 5 days pregnant. I took a walk & it had been awhile since i got out of the house to do anything (especially now my belly is alot bigger). It felt like WHOA! the front of my belly feels heavy & it felt uncomfortable. maybe its becuz im not use to caring this weight around has anyone experienced this . I also some times am a bit careless i tend to move quick & feel pains & feel guilty i should've been more careful .I just hope this cannot cause misscarriage. can anyone tell me if ur familiar with any of this?

ok so ive liked this guy for like 3 years now (im 16 and hes 18) he lives right across the street from me we are kool with each other everytime we talked he made me so happy he never insulted me or made me feel really bad but a few months ago i found out that his gf is pregnant! and a few weeks ago i found out she lives with him! right across the street! so ive been trying my best to forget about him i avoid him at school and everywhere i dnt wanna see him sometimes i feel like im over him but as soon as i see him again everything comes back i dnt know what to do! im really into him but hes having a baby! nd his girl lives right there! nd i always see him: wen i go outside or even look out the window idk what to do its killing me! everytime i see him i feel so bad nd i know its not worth it but idk i cant get him outta my head any advice?

We had unprotected sex about a week and a half ago. I didn't ejaculate inside her but I guess you can still get preggo off of pre-ejaculate. Her suspected period came on time but when she had it, it was extremely heavy. Her pants were saturated in darker blood and there was dark clots in it as well. We took a pregnancy test a day into her bleeding when it slowed down and it came up negative. Therefore I highly doubt it can be a miscarriage. She has now been bleeding like a normal period for almost 3 days. I'm decently sure that this is just her period that has coincidentally been heavy, but idk for sure. I'm just wondering that when we take the next pregnancy test after awhile if there's any chance we'll come up with a positive. In case you're wondering, I'm 18 and she's 17 so I'm hoping/praying for a negative. I love kids but I'm too young for them. BTW, we are sexually active and we have protected sex about once/twice a week but this was just a mess up. I'm relieved that it came up negative but I'm still very scared. We also don't want either of our parents to find out so going to the doctor wouldn't be ideal at all. Thanks in advance guys, I really appreciate the help and advice.

Me & my partner have been together for 2 years, and our daughter is 10 months old.. The week before I found out I was pregnant I went to spain, the night before my best friend (female) and I flew out, I went to see my Ex, as we had a daughter who I sadly lost at 18 weeks pregnant, and I had results back from tests they did that I felt would help both of us to discuss, nothing happened whatsoever and I told my partner I had been to my Ex's AND WHY. Anyway, forgetting about all of that- It came to new year, and someone jokingly said 'Ohh what if the baby is your Ex's' infront of my partner and because i was a little tipsy i replied 'she doesnt look anything like him!' and laughed.. At the start of febuary my partner was drunk and screamed at me that he wanted a DNA test done on the baby because he thought I had slept with my Ex the week I got pregnant.. JUST because he feels i should have answered 'i didnt sleep with him, so how could she be?' .. but I was joking around with an old school friend and none of it was meant to be serious, atal... Anyway when he said this to me (infront of my family we had travelled to visit!!) i cried, and he said 'I dont know why your crying, you've told me some kid is mine for months when IT isnt'- i was heartbroken and shocked and told him I was going to leave when we got home. The next day he was all apologies and 'i got the wrong end of the stick'.. he even cried and said he loved me, but.. Since then I havent been able to look at him the same :( I know nothing happened, and she is his, and he says he knows she is too, and believes me, but I cant help but keep thinking about the hurtfull stuff he said. We have alot of problems and issues going on at the moment, and I really dont know what to do. I wish I could forget he said it all, but I cant..

I am due on March 18th- Right now 38 1/2 weeks pregnant with my first child. I am so excited about having a little girl but I am beginning to get nervous. The doctor told me yesterday that she felt as if she were around 7.5 or 8.0 pounds. I am worried that she is going to be a big baby since she is not due for another week and 1/2. I am quiet petite myself- 5'2" and I am right at 200lbs right now with this baby. I am scared that her newborn clothes won't fit her :-(. I haven't had any signs of labor- just a few cramps and braxton hicks, 1 cm dilated and 30% effaced. Should I be worried/nervous? Will her newborn clothes fit? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated! Thanks! I do have some 0-3 month clothes which are bigger. I guess I am just nervous about everything because this is my first and I have no idea what to expect. I was adopted so my mom can't tell me anything about giving birth or having a baby.

I am 18 weeks old pregnant, I used to feel few tiny movements until now and since a fortnight I have no indications whatsoever about the movements. I am a bit concerned, is it something to be worried or is it normal? i have booked in for my 22 week U/S scan on 19 march and please advise about my worry. Cheers

Hey ladies! First I would like to update you. My husband was told he'd have his annual training June 6-18 and my due date is June 11. We had set the induction date, which we won't change for June 10. Well, my husband was just told over the weekend that he has been excused and isn't going to AT this year because of all the extra training he has put in this year! I am super excited because that means he will be home for the rest of the pregnancy and he will be home after the baby is born! Okay...now onto other news. My husband and I will be talking to the loan lady at the bank on Friday (hopefully) to get pre-approved for the loan before we get under contract. His mom is wanting to buy the $200 ceiling fan that he and I bought and put in the house for $50!! Its not even a year old yet! Plus we put in the new exhaust fan in the bathroom and I guess she expects to just get that for free. News flash! I plan to pull that sucker out if we dont get paid for it! That was a $100 we spent right there. We'll see what happens.... Okay, now to my question. I am 26 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My breasts went from 34B to 36D by 8 weeks of pregnancy so I had a ton of pain those first weeks, even before I knew I was pregnant. Well the last few days I have had this almost unbearable pain in them again. I wouldn't think they would be growing even more but if you ladies know of a way to relieve the pain I would much appreciate it! Thank you!

He has been physically and emotionally abusive towards me up until I left him in November. I am sooooo mad at myself for getting pregnant. I don't want to deal with his ass for the next 18 years but I will have to because he won't give me full custody. I don't know what else to do. I have talked to him about putting her up for adoption but he says no and I don't want him raising her on his own. He's a recovering drug addict and is also a convicted felon.

I am 18 weeks pregnant and in a Signal Corps Unit. What equipment am I allowed to use? The doctors don't seem to know specifically.

Okay, first off, please no rude answers. I'm 18, scared, and about 3 or 4 weeks pregnant. When I sleep at night, I sleep on my stomach. I was wondering if that is too early to hurt anything, or if I should stop. Thanks in advance.

I am almost 18 weeks pregnant with a girl, and just recently had a yeast infection and UTI, my uti was checked after my meds and doc confirmed it to be gone, but the yeast infection he didnt do another pap, he just told me to make sure i use the meds correctly, so i used the monistat 7 cream at night for a week, and he wasnt concerned to check me again, so can i have intercourse now? I FINISHED TREATMENT CAN I HAVE SEX NOW EVEN THOUGH MY DOCTOR DIDNT CHECK TO MAKE SURE ITS GONE

Hey, so I just posted earlier about some tightening I was having in my pelvic area below my belly button. Some girls posted back that it sounded like Braxton Hicks Contractions.... im wondering if that's possible considering I'm only about 18 weeks pregnant... I thought it was maybe the baby flipping or moving etc.. since I haven't been able to feel any movements yet... So anyway, Braxton Hicks, they feel like tightening in my lower abdomen? When I posted earlier, I had mentioned it didn't have any pain, just a pressure/tight feeling, then like it released. I thought it was gas, but (TMI) I TRIED to pass gas, but nothing happened! LOL. So is it more likely the baby was moving or braxton hicks? I see my doc on the 22nd, and I bother her for EVERYTHING and Id rather just have some of your opinions since ya'll have been through it :) Thanks girls!!

im 18 years old, i just got over my period about a week ago, and my nipples & breasts have been sore for about 4 days. if i was to be pregnant it would be too early to tell.. my boobs seem like they could be a little bit bigger, but not noticeable, they're also tender.. i also get dizzy easily and gag or feel like puking over little things.

im almost 18 weeks, and yesterday I was feeling this tightening in my lower abdomen (below my belly button) Im not sure what it was.. I was walking around, but i was leaning on a cart, and walking slow so i dont think I was pulling anything.. anyway, it didnt hurt just flt like pressure or something inside getting tight, then letting go... any suggestions? Was it the baby moving? I havent felt the baby yet, so IDK what to expect... it did it a handful of times... please any suggestions would be great!!

ok well im 18 and pregnant ( i know WAY to young) but it just happened.. and now ready or not im going to be a mom! me and my boyfriend didn't want to know the sex of our baby cause we wanted to be a surprise.. he wants a girl and i want a boy.. the thing is im do in about 2 to 3 weeks.. and we have absolutely no idea what we should name our child! can you please give us some help?? background information Im brazilian. he is american his last name is McDougall.. so it has to go with that.. im leaning toward Lucas, or Rafael since they are very common in Brazil.. but my boyfriend doesn't want that cause he thinks im picking it over past relationships! and for girl we like maybe Camilla. or Rafaella..or Marcella can you guys help??

I was planning on going to uni this sep to study nursing, and I dont have a very good job at the moment and I still live at home with my family. My bf has a bad job too because he studies during the day so, just has a small evening job. our relationship is very strained at the moment also. I am roughly 4-5 weeks pregnant, and I am so scared and have no idea what to do? I feel I have to get an abortion because my mum will disown me , and for anybody who thinks she wont, I can garuntee she will! my bfs family would be happy on the other hand! Im confused, can I really have all I want in life ( eg nice house, nice car, money , good job etc) with a baby when i am 18? please advise me :(

im 18 weeks and 3 days pregnant and a little worried because i have been getting pains in my lower belly and haven't really felt the baby move yet has anyone else had this?

Me and my fiance have known each other 5+ yrs and he's always worked a lot. He's a very hard worker and I've always admired his work ethic but lately it getting crazy. He's shop manager at a just brakes and they work him to the bone!! He works 12-18 hour days 6 days a week and on sundays he does side work. Cars are his life. Its never bothered me till now, I'm 26 weeks pregnant and worried. We don't see each other as much as id like but I cherish every second we have together. But he can't even take time off to come to the dr with me. And I'm worried he's going to miss the birth of his baby girl because the shop. Then once our babys born he's never going to see her there's so much he's gonna miss. I love him greatly, we still have fun together, have an AMAZING sex life, and are very happy. I just need advice on how to handle him working so much. And should I be upset he can't go to our dr visits?

I have a 10 1/2 month old daughter and my husband and I were really wanting to wait until she was around 15 - 18 months to start trying again for another so after a pregnancy scare when she was 6 months , I went on Depo (my first shot was 3 months ago, I'm due for the next one in a week). My OB told me that it's 98-99% effective and to wait a week before having intercourse after getting the shot - we waited a week exactly. I didn't get a period until the end of February - but it wasn't a normal period, it was spotty for like a week, I didn't even need to wear a liner it was so light and then there was like 2 days of heavier flow - but brown, not red and still only heavy enough to need the smallest lightest tampon I could find. Ever since about February 27th I have had cramps that feel like period cramps every morning and sometimes randomly throughout the day, I'm also breaking out on my forehead here and there - I know no birth control is 100% effective... but has anyone been on Depo and experienced this? Is is just what Depo is like ? Does it sound like I'm pregnant? I'm having my husband bring me home a test today but I was just curious as I have never been on Depo before now and don't really know it's ins and outs. Thanks

I am 20 weeks pregnant.. and I am only 17 years old.; so I am putting my baby up for adoption.. because I want it to have a waaaay better life then I can provide for it. The father wants me to abort.. but I dont want to!! ESPECIALLY this late!!!!! I want to give my baby a chance at life! So can I give my baby up for adoption without him knowing? How about if he doesnt... then do I still have to keep it? Because I CANNOT provide for the baby. I will be 18 already by the time i am due... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! He is going to try to hold me back! Jorge.. you are a dumassssz -_- and very fckin ignorant! at least im not going around getting an abortion cuz then THAT'S selfish!!!!! You have NOOOO idea how I am living and in what circumstances I am in.! There are many of "parents" and "adults" out there that i dont even know WHY THE FCK they are parents..because they mistreat; abuse or neglect their children.... Theyre are wonderful couples and familes looking to adopt a baby... because they cant have their own... So for u to say "i just want to have fun..blah blah blah..." is very stupid.. Why waste ur time answering my question if its useless!!!!

Hi, I missed my Febuary period and I figured at 1st "oh, i've had scares before but, my period always comes so i'll wait" well I waited and waited and still a week into March and I've yet to have my period. Also my nipples are sore now and my stomach feels bloated, Im super moody, and just the other day at lunch I had what to me seems like a minor heart burn. (yes I know some of those are common symptoms of your period coming but, i've never had any of those symptoms before) I have yet to get a pregnancy test because, my license is suspended and Im way too scared to ask my mom because, all she has begged of me is to be "safe" and please don't get pregnant. I'll be 18 this Saturday and I really don't know what to do, if I am pregnant, any advice?

I just moved back to my hometown and there are absolutely no jobs available. I have a little boy and am pregnant and single so I obviously need to find a job asap. I applied at Kmart and was given the position but I have to pass a background check and I am a little worried about it. I have a couple of things when I turned 18. I have a DUI, MIP, I think I might have a marijuana possession but i am not sure if it was on my record or not. I havnt drank or done any drugs since my first son was born. But i am afraid my past mistakes are going to haunt me. If anyone knows what would diqualify me from working there please let me know. I am supose to find out if I got the job for sure this week sometime. Thak You!

Me and my husband have been having marital problems since our wedding back in November. We were deeply in love at first and we formed a family with me and his daughter from a past relationship (he married the mother when he was 18 and she passed away a year later) and his younger brother who lives with us. He bought us a nice riverside house but things started to go downhill. First off, I got pregnant and he insisted I abort because it was not time for us to have anymore children. I did so and then he stopped having sex with me for the most part because of it. We didn't even have sex for my 20th birthday last Sunday. For the last two months, we argued constantly as he neglected me and spent all his time at work (he runs a garage business). We rarely sleep together anymore as he sleeps on the couch and yesterday morning I surprise joined him in the shower and he got pissed for it. After he left, I cried and one his younger brothers friends came over, named "Mark". Me and Mark got to talking and Mark made me feel better and he kissed me and I kissed back. I don't know, I just lost control and me and Mark when upstairs and had sex in our bedroom. We agreed it was a one night thing but today Mark came back over and we had sex again on the couch this time. Right after I was still naked and Mark was shirtless but had boxers on when my husbands daughter came downstairs and seen. I claimed we were just changed clothes but now I am in a huge panic! I am afraid his daughter being a little kid (shes 6) will mention it to my husband. My husband will be furious and its likely to going to end in divorce. My husband came in two hours ago and went to bed and my heart was racing the whole time that "Sarah" was going to speak up. Me and Mark have swore off each other but I am racing for a panic attack. I feel I should confess because he might find out anyhow. But I do love my husband. I know he will be furious and my brother in law (hes 17) will never forgive me for having sex with his close buddie (who is 16). My husband turns 22 next week and I know this may ruin his birthday for him. Is it a good idea to bribe my stepdaughter into not telling? Is there anyone to keep this child quiet for the sake of my marriage? I wouldnt have done this at all have i known that my stepdaugther was upstairs in bed.

Okayy well i'm pregnant and i thought i was 8 and a half months but i don't think i'm right. my due date is april 18th. and my doctor told me today that i'm 34 weeks and 1 day..so helpp me please cause the whole weeks to months thing confuses me really bad

Okay this sounds a little weird but When i have an orgasm my stomach gets really hard but only one side of my stomach has a lump on it and its almost an inch higher than the other side...Does this mean the baby is only on that side. Im about 18-19 weeks pregnant so how big is the baby? Also the last time i gave birth i had an episiotomy(sp?). Will i have to have one again if i already did and i forget do they numb you before they cut you open. I think they did for me but i dont remember really.

I am 18 years old and me and my boyfriend are trying to have a baby. I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome, I take metphormin to help with that. I had about a month long period, which stopped about a month ago. My obgyn gave me pills to stop the bleeding, after I stop taking the pills I was supposed to have my period again. I stopped taking the pill about 4 or so days ago and I have not had my period yet. I have also had some possible signs of pregnancy; on and off upset stomach, some tiredness, frequent urination, a slight temperature for about a week, the past couple of days i have had sore breasts, and my boyfriend said he thought myveinss in my breasts have been more visible (they have always been slightly visible). Yesterday and this morning i took a first response pregnancy test and they were both negative. It does not make much sense to me. I am thinking about waiting a week to see if i get my period and calling my doctor. Would you assume that I could still be pregnant, given the results of the test?

i know this is quite a sensitive subject for some people so im sorry if this question seems abit unecessary but i really could do with some explaining about this. my 18 year old friend said she had an abortion a few months ago (she was 17 at the time) and that she was 16 weeks pregnant when she had it. however, everything shes said doesnt seem to add up to me and she's always been a very commited attention seeker, but i can hardly accuse her of lying as there is a small chance its true. *she showed me a picture of an ultrasound from the day of the abortion on her phone and said that it was a girl, but do they even show you scans when you have an abortion ? or do they even tell you the sex? * im pretty sure she said it was an injection, but to my knowledge, i thought after 12weeks they didnt do them with injections? * there was no name or date on the ultrasound phone picture she showed me, and i was told all ultrasounds had names and dates? I'd be really greatful if anyone could help me with this, as me and several friends think if she is lying, its a disgusting thing to make up. btw, i'm no way agreeing or disagreeing with abortions and have no intention to upset anyone, i just would like someone to share any knowledge they have on the subject, as i have no idea what to think i also live in the UK, i don't know if the rules are any different in different countries i completely agree with answers 3 and 4, if i had solid proof she was lying, i would ditch her for good. as its such a horribly thing to lie about, as people actually geniunly struggle through abortions every day. i really don't believe her, but without solid proof i can't accuse her, as that makes me a horrible person :/
