Here I am, 3 weeks away from our due date. I am having a boy and we are so excited. The only thing is - I am so worried. I lost a previous baby at 21 weeks. The cause was inconclusive, but I did have a huge life trauma occur right before I lost the baby, my sister died. I have had a completely healthy pregnancy. All testing went well. My boy seems big and strong, her moves often. I have a big appetite and have not worked throughout most of the pregnancy. I really took it easy. I am also giving birth at one of the best obstetrics hospitals in the world, which happens to be in the city I live in (I made sure of this due to our sad past) And yet still I worry! Could something go horribly wrong? How can I let go and enjoy this journey? It makes me so sad. I don't want my husband to be sad, my parents, his parents, as they were before.... Thanks for reading, any support would be truly appreciated

ok lets see if i can give you guys the short version.. i am 33 weeks pregnant, and a week ago this past Sat. my 29 yr old baby brother passed away suddenly in his sleep. the night before his death he had been out and had drank way too much, so we are thinking that contributed to his death although until the reports come in we won't know 100% for sure... alright, well today was my husbands twin sister and brothers 21st birthday and so the family threw them a huge cookout/birthday party. i have already resolved to the fact that they would all be drinking, but i asked my husband not too drink too much because, well obviously because of what just happened to my brother, and so that i wouldn't stress or worry. well, about 9:00 pm i decided to come home because i had to get our 2 yr old to bed, so i left him in the safety of his parents house. well, he just called me about 10 minutes ago and said the parents made them all leave because they have to work early in the am, so everyone went to the sisters house to party. when he called i could tell he had already had alot to drink and so i begged him to please once again, not drink too much. and his response was, calm down and stop being so dramatic i'll be home later on tonight, i love you, bye???and he hung up.. do you think that it is unreasonable of me to ask him not to drink too much given the stress i have been under lately with my brothers death and the sketchiness of it maybe being cause by alcohol? or do i have a right to be upset because he is being totally insensitive to me right now. my heart is broken over my brother, i don't want to have to worry about losing a husband to the same damn thing... what do you guys think? thanks..

Ive suffered from bulimia and anoxeria for 9 years. Im currently in recovery. Im properly sick about 5 times a week (before i was sick 18x plus a week so have improved a lot) but im still getting help for my ED. Ive had a baby before. He is now 2 years old and is the world to me. I couldn't ever be with out him. When i found out i was pregnant with him i stopped my ED completely. In December 09 i found out i was pregnant, and thou my ED improved i was still sick about 6 times but miscarried ( don't know if it was my ED or not but i blame myself a lot) After the miscarriage i had a d&c and after i stopped bleeding me and my partner started trying again. I heard that after a miscarriage you can get pregnant quite quickly. But im yet to get pregnant again. Im quite scared as i really want another baby. I know that ive had my son but scared that my ED may have ruined any chance i have of conceving again. Has anyone else managed to get pregnant with bulimia? That sound silly i know but as i said im currently getting a lot of help for my ED. I just want another baby so badly. Its been a year that me and my partner have been trying. Im only 21. Everyone has said that because ive had my son (hes 2) that i shouldnt have a problem conceving again. If i find out im pregnant again. i will do anything not to miscarriage again and am no way going to be carring on with my builima i will give up completly. I would really appreciateate any advice. Thanks for listening.

After 2 long months of not knowing for sure, I will know tomorrow if I am pregnant or not. If I am pregnant then I'm making a concerted effort NOT to have the father in my baby's life. I'm 21 and he's 27. And he is a straight up liar. I found out 3 weeks after we broke up that he has a daughter that he's not allowed to see. He told me the whole time we were dating that he didn't have kids. But I found out from his mom that he has a little girl. I was sick to my stomach. If I am pregnant then I am not going to tell him that I am. I have a wonderful father and a great brother who would be AMAZING father figures in my baby's life. What is your opinion on my decision? I just want to know your honest feedback?

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and very confused I need a bias and practical advice on an issue which is haunting me these days....The problem is.......where do I deliver my baby????? INDIA OR UK..... I have booked my tickets to india and was going for 6 months away from my husband just to deliver my baby.......now you must be thinking Why six months.......because I can't travel after I complete my second trimester and after the baby is born I have to look into the passport and visa formality and then get back to UK and continue normally............till a very close and dear friend of my husband and me offered us a great gesture tht I could stay with them and deliver my baby in UK now the problem is, its to big favour to take from someone. and if I go to India Im scared tht the weather there would affect me and my baby............before giving an answer you must know that I dnt have any family in UK they all are in India please take ur precious time off and answer me this one and definately stating ur reasons love u guys

I got a BFP this morning!! But, it was not a two weeks wait!! My LMP was on Jan 25th!! Yes, it must be 7 weeks now. I am seeing the OB on 30th March. However, I have doubts, please clear: I am thinking I must have ovulated after CD 28, as I had not got a positive OPK till CD 25 and I did not test after that. I saw EWCM on feb 21st. And I observed my temperature go high on March 5th (implantation, triphasic rise). I got a negative when tested on march 7th at 5 pm, and today with FMU it was a clear Big Fat Positive. Will conception due to ovulating this late in the cycle be succesful fulltime pregnancy??? I will confirm with the ultra sound on march 30th as how long I am? But please tell me the chances of retaining this baby for ever. Ok, for those who could not get my ABC's, I learnt them on this site :) so assumed you all knew, Sorry. LMP- Last Menstrual Period OPK- Ovulation Prediction Kit EWCM- Egg White Cervical Mucous BFP- Big Fat Positive FMU- First Morning Urine OB- obstetrician (mid wife)

The blood has been watery, and really light pink not enough to wear a pad or a tampon just on the toilet paper. I have been getting heartburn four or five times a day no matter what I eat and my back has been killing me. I have also been getting headaches which I almost never get them. But I'm worried because this past weekend was my 21st birthday, and I drank all weekend...if I am pregnant, am I already considered a bad mother? Someone help, I took a test, but I took it 3 days before my period, because at that time I missed calculated when I was getting it anyway the test was negative and that was almost three weeks ago. someone help. should I take another test?

I had my 20 week ultra-scan and I'm 21 weeks pregnant the baby was in a bad position but they said that they 70% sure it's a girl....... Does that mean it is a girl? I'm happy either way boy or girl but I want to start buying things for the baby but how can I do that in confidence if there's a slight chance the baby's a boy??

do you guys know other reasons for not having your period other than being pregnant.. i havent gotten it since jan 21 and i really dont know whats going on... i cant go to the dr. since i have to much school and sooo busy with work.; what could be some other reasons for not having the red? i already took two pregnancy test about two weeks ago one in the night and the second one 5 days after in the morning and they both turned out negative... i will appreciate your help!

Im 21 weeks and 2 day pregnant according to the ultrasounds...ok here is the story! I was with my bf for a long time and we always had unprotected sex. i was with him on all the time in october (sleepin together alot) and then we broke up cuz he cheated on me but i am in college so i only really see him on the weekends and then i ended up sleepin with someone else on either november 8 or 9th. I found out i was pregnant on november 26th. the first ultrasound said that i was due on July 26th the ultrasound was on December 14th. i had another ultra sound on March 11th and they gave me the same due date of July 26h. Who would the father b considering these dates? and plz dont say paternity test cuz i knw that already...i jus want to knw the best guess. also the guy i was with in november didnt get off...does that matter? ok im not sure when the first day of my last period was. i was completly regualr. but they said i was 8 weeks when they gave me the first ultrasound. also they have the due date the same exact day for the past 2 times...good?

so ive never had it before, and im 21 weeks pregnant, my throat is so scratchy and sore that im losing my voice from it and its going up into my ears. i have no stuffiness or runny nose, my eyes seem fine and i have a little cough just from trying to clear my throat and it being so sore. does this sound like strep or does it just sound like a sore throat. and is it gonna affect my baby at all? ive had sinus infection in my first two pregnancy but i never in my life had strep so im not sure what it feels like. fill me in please, i go to the doctor tomarrow for my ultrasound so i will be asking then but i want to know now. oh and i should prolly add that i have never had an ear infection either, can a ear infection cause a sore throat? cause i have pain and itchiness in both my nose and my throat.

ok here is the deal i lost my baby in Nov 2009 i was 21 weeks so my baby was Pretty big it was a girl but they thought it was a boy until the autopsy reveled it was a girl not a boy. I was devastated and i got on depo to prevent pregnancy until my body heals up. it has now been 4 months since god took my baby girl and i been left in the dust, my previous depo shot was due Feb 17th 2010 but i did not get it because of the way the shot had effects on me. I had what seems to be a period on march 4th and it lasted 3 days then some spotting after that for a few days i completely stopped bleeding by the 9th of march i believe and yes i have been having unprotected sex since the shot was due and my husband has been cumming inside of me due to the fact that we know it takes a while to get pregnant even after having only 1 shot like i did, but i been having a lot of symptoms of pregnancy and i still test negative i been having frequent urination, I'm very very easily angry and emotional at the same time and i get lots of cravings and nausea all day and while on the shit i didn't experience any of these symptoms at all i don't know of there is a chance for pregnancy because the way the shot works so I'm kind of in denial my ovulation states according to my last so called period if it even was a period that my fertile days started this week since Sunday and Monday we did it unprotected as well on those days,,,I'm freaking out is this all in my head or could it be that i am pregnant again? when should i test because i tested last week once and it was negative my next pd is due april 1-4 so should i wait til then?

So here is my story- I'm 21, and on BC. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend a couple of times this month. I have missed a couple of pills, and I honestly havent been taking my pills at the same time everyday... well...I ended up getting breakthrough bleeding because of it. Actually it's only been brown spotting/ discharge, and I've had it for 2 weeks now...But I was supposed to get my period today! It hasn't came yet though. And today I'm still only having brown sticky discharge (which I realize is old blood). Is it possible that i could have ovulated this month? I would still get a normal period even though I've been spotting right? Does it sound like I could be pregnant? I've had tons of symptoms and i've even had morning sickness. The only problem is that I've taken tests for the past few days and they have all been negative. What are your opinions?

i had a miscarriage february 1st 2010. i stopped bleeding around the 12th i was 5 weeks 3 days..i went to the doctors last tuesday march 9th to have an ultrasound to check on my ovarian cyst and had blood drawn to see if my hcg levels were back at zero. well it turns out that my hcg levels were back up to 575 they told me im pregnant again. i had my levels checked thursday the 11th and they said they were rising like normal so they should have almost doubled which would mean they were around 1100. i have an ultrasound march 29th to confirm the pregnancy and to try to attempt to figure out how far along i am... i had sex on february 12th/13th the day i stopped bleeding then again the 21st of february then the next time was march 3rd. so im assuming im between 2-4 weeks. how far along do you guys think i may be with levels of hcg around 1100? any opinions and advice would be helpful thank you in advance! just looking for opinions no rude comments

Ive been given an EDD of 15th May. However, very confused as my periods were very irregular and also before I concieved I had missed my July and August periods for no reason. The only dates I could have conceived were 27th July 09 or 21st August 09. But because they work out that you can be pregnant for 42 weeks it becomes confusing. Thanks Thanks so much!

If you have something rude to say please keep it to yourself. I had unprotected sex the morning i finished my period (sun. feb. 21), stupid i know. My cycle is only 26 days long so it was a few days later that i was set to ovulate. About a week after the sex i was feeling cramps in my uterus and feeling extremelly tiered and just drained. My breasts started feeling achey so i took a test on mar. 6 (13 days after sex) and it was negative. I was not stressed and at that point thought it was ok im not pregnant. A few days later along with those symptoms I started having dizzy light headed spells as well as some mood swings. I started feeling cramps like my period were to start a week early but than it just stopped. Now i find myself eating ALOT more than usual. I was suppose to start my period yesterday and i am normally on time but it did not happen. Im feeling cramps but nothing like when i usually start my period and they come and go. Today1 day after i was suppose to start my period i was having a thick white discharge like ive been getting for the past couple days and now its like i started my period except its looking like its just spotting but it just happened so idk, and its a brown color. Like pure brown sometimes showing on the tp as a pink. A little before i noticed it i had taken a shower and i randomly felt so light headed i thought i was going to faint. I had to lean against the wall holding myself up so i wouldnt fall. Ive never felt that before. Im not stressed, not imagining anything if thats what youre going to say. Im just confused on this whole thing. My ex doesnt want a baby and wanted me 2 get an abortion if i am and i said no i wont do it im keeping it if i am so right now he has nothing to do with me. I pray he will realize what an a**h*le he is but until that may happen i dont care, i can do it on my own without him. It has been 23 days since the sex. So if anyone has input or advice ide love to hear it :) thanx

am hopefully going to be a first time mom. I had been sick for a couple weeks prior to finding out I was pregnant. I found out on March 10th I was pregnant and had been having morning sickness that whole previous week up until now, but thought I was just sick. I woke up two days ago and was a little feeling a little sick but did not throw up. First is it common to have just one week of constant throwing up in the morning or will this pass and I might get start getting sick again? I have no idea how far along I am so I really don't know what to expect. Another concern is I felt like I could more so feel the baby or something inside me when I would move around, that has pretty much stopped too, I'm trying to convince my self that it was just my body getting use to there being a baby inside of me. Plus I've been eating a lot more because my diet before was not healthy and I'm really trying to do everything I can to be healthy for this baby. I've actually gained 8 pounds since Febuary 19th which also concerns me. I don't have cramping or bleeding or back pain that are associated with having a misscarriage but the worry is still there. I am going to get on insurance on Friday and then can schedule an ultrasound but as a first time mom at 21, nor having a mom I find I have no one to ask these questions. Thanks to all who can be of some help.. I truly appreciate it.

am sure by reading the subject line you can assume I am going to be a dad! Yay me, right?!? Well, yes, but there is also some mystery involved into our situation and I am hoping your expertise and stories heard can lend some knowledge to my wife and I. So were 25 and have been married for a little over a year, but our love goes back into highschool and then rekindling in 2005. So we had planned on this adventure and were lucky to have it happen a month or so into trying. Last Monday was our first Dr. appt and the Dr explained to us what we wuld be encountering in the first sonogram and explained what we would see IF we had twins. So he goes in... Finds the first baby and sasy looks good, pulls up the heart beat and we got a 168 beats per minute. It would probably help if I say my wife is 8 weeks at this appt. So he keeps looking and says "remember the twin conversation? Well look at what we have here". He proceeds to look and sees what is to be a 2nd baby, only this one measures at 6 1/2 weeks. A whole week and a half smaller than the baby we knew we had. He tells us that its normal for women to concieve two, but most cases the second fetus doesn't make it. He almost left at that, but decided to investigate a little more... As he did so he found a heart beat on the 2nd one... This is where he gets flabbergasted and says "Wow... I have never seen this. I know you don't ever want your doctor to say I don't know, but I don't know". So at this point I am in shock, my wife is in shock and the Dr. looks like an intern watching someone who knows what would be going on. This is where i began to get a little mad because he starts saying that we can expect to see this disappear, die, evaporate or be miscarried... I am thinking WHAT? I ask if theres a possibility if it will survive and I get "I don't know". I ask is going to die? "I don't know". I am so confused at this point and pissed off that this d bag that's an OBGYN for 20 yrs can't give me something other than "I don't know". I get even more mad that he disregards that there is a heart beat... Now were stuck and what sucks more is he is so distraught, we don't even have a chance to ask 21 questions to get more information on being pregnant for the first time. He tells us we have to go back in a week, which is this Thursday 3.18.2010. BUT it's left like that, a whole week to marinate in confusion. I don't know how twins work.. How is there a heart beat?... Could it be the eleventh case of Superfetation? I am just hoping that maybe you can give insight, maybe you have heard of something similar, babies a week and a half apart in size, but both have hearts beating... Will the "healthy" one survive if the little one lives or dies? We consider seeing someone else, but this isn't even my wife's OB, it's her partner.. Her OB is on Maternity leave until late March. So deciding to see another would be the same time frame as getting her original back... Well I hope you have some kind of insight and any reply would be very helpful! Thanks a million, Josh P and my wife Justine(9 weeks)

Okay my last period was on Feb. 7th and then I had sex without a condom on the 21st of Feb. and then the next week I bled a little for a week and that isn't normal for me to bleed two times in one month and then I always have the urge to pee i did take a home pregnancy test and it came postive and now my appointment is on the 1st of April, but Right now I want to know if I am pregnant and what should I be looking for my stomach is very swollen and hurting and my breast are very tender and sensitive. Please let me know what to expect right now.

And can not do a dna test its to risky? I do not want to be judged for this so please no nasty comments but Im sure who my 11 month old babies father is? My daughter was born on the 21st march 2009 (13 days over my due date) as she was due on the 9th of March 2009. I was on a break with my now partner and who I presume is my daughters father. I did have a drunken and very stupid one night stand with a old ex, which I put down to being on the rebound but there is not excuse. This was on the friday the 30th May 2008 and this was the last day of my period, and I did not use protection. After this I then got back with my now partner and had unprotected sex on the 5th,6th,7th of June 2008. I say unprotected because before me and my partner had our break I had come of my pill as we had been trying for a baby for over a year and did not expect to break up. I must state that I never fell pregnant in this year and only then did I fall pregnant and had my 12 week scan on the 18th August where they dated me 11 weeks. Could it possible not be my partners if I'd gone so far over due? Please help its a awful situation and although my partner knows and is happy to carry on being my daughters dad its still plays on my mind?!!?

I started feeling cramps like my period were to start a week early but than it just stopped. Now i find myself eating ALOT more than usual. I was suppose to start my period today but have not. I have no signs of starting it and normally i can tell a couple days before i start. Instead of starting i am just having alot of thick white discharge. Wed would be a month since my period so on thurs. i will def. be late even though i should have started today. My ex doesnt want a baby and wants nothing to do with me cuz i refused to get an abortion if i am but im now ok with that and dont care. Im not stressed and do not believe i am imagining this so please dont suggest that. Im ok if i am im being realistic and just calm and patient. I am just asking for input on if anyone thinks the test was wrong, if im experiancing symptoms, and if you think i am pregnant. I am waiting until the end of the week before i test, just getting opinions. It has been about 23 days since the sex and i am not getting abortion or giving it up if i am just to be clear. Thanx :)

I am pregnant and never had the chicken pox as a child. However, I took precaution when we decided to get pregnant and got completely vaccinated. Both of my older children have only had the first vaccine, however; and have recently been exposed through other family members. I am wondering what my chances are of getting this because I am worried about birth defects. Oh, and I am 21 weeks along. Thanks!

I am 21.5 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I am concerned that I have not felt fetal movement yet. I am fairly slim so I thought I would feel it by now. But since 15.5 weeks I have felt a strange muscle spasm and twitching in my lower abdomen that I can't explain. It doesn't hurt at all, just feels like muscle spasms or when your eyelid twitches. Happens every day and it's intermittent. Sometimes more steady and sometimes a sporadic one here and there. I feel it sometimes closer to my pubic bone and sometimes closer to my belly button. My OB said it can't be fetal movement because I can actually feel the muscle twitches with my hand, and that with fetal movement you don't feel it externally until about 28 weeks. So does anyone think my OB is wrong or could anyone feel their abdomen twitching with their hand when they were first feeling quickening? Thanks so much for your help.

I AM 21 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND BABY AND I FELT MY DAUGHTER MOVE WHEN I WAS 7MONTHS IS IT NORMAL I HAVENT FELT THIS ONE MOVE YET? IN MY FIRST I DIDNT FEEL ANY FLUTTERING WITH THIS ONE SOMETIMES WHEN I LAY ON MY SIDE MY STOMACH FEELS LIKE I JUST GOT OFF A ROLLER COASTER IS THIS THE FLUTTERING?

Im 21 weeks pregnant and was just wondering if epidurals are dangerous cause a few people have said they can paralyse u for life is this true?

I am not asking if I am pregnant, I am pretty sure that I am but don't want to test to early. My husband and I are trying for baby #3. I just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks (blighted ovum) on Feb 21st. I am just wondering what your earliest symptoms were, like before you could test. I have mucus in my throat, like a lump that won't go away. Did anyone else have that? Also I am very tired, hungry, not too much else yet but I just know by the mucus. I had that with both of my boys and with my miscarriage before I could test.

The person that did my scan today (whatever you call em lol) told me she was .......70% sure....... I was having a girl. I'm 21 weeks pregnant how can they not be entirely sure by now?? Anyway I have picked out a girls name and I like the name Isabella Lillian Moore. or Bella for short. I have picked out others but this name I really like. What do you think? :) SM I was referring to the person that does the Ultrasound scan! There is a name for them but I don't know what.

Hi! I'm 21 weeks and 3 days pregnant, now I've had an issue with my leg for the last couple of weeks that the dr refferred me to a neurologist for..... He wants to send me for an MRI to see if it's a slipped disc in my back or something wrong with my nerves. I've called my obstrecian but she's out of office for a few days, and the neurologist is happy to wait till I have spoken To my obstrecian, but I'm just wondering in the mean time if anyone knows of any hazards with mri's in pregnancy. Apparently there is no radiation, but I'm worried if the magnetic forces (I'm no scientific genius here!) from the MRI could harm my baby? Thanks in advance!

I am 21, and have been with my boyfriend for 4 years this summer. My last REGULAR period was january 28 (which was a week after I stopped my birth control, I have been off of it since) I've had unprotected sex very many times since then too now. (some more than once a day, but not every day) I was DUE for a regular period on february 21st (I have a 28 day cycle, which is ALWAYS 28 days) and when it came, it was just brown spotting, very very light for about 2 days? No blood really at all, when normally I have a heavy flow. But my next period due is for this sunday (march 21) I havnt really had any pregnancy symptoms besides a really light period? But that could have been caused by multiple things right? Anyways, between my last so-called "period" on february 21st, I have had unprotected sex very many times, I looked on babycenter.com and it said my ovulation SHOULD (on an average) be between march 4-9, I had sex on february 26, and march 11, but I DON'T know which way I ovulated on between those days? I don't track my ovulation days, and am not sure if they're always the same? I have also had unprotected sex ATLEAST every other day from the 11th til now (sometimes a few days in a row) Is there a possibility that I could be pregnant this time finally? And if I am, will I DEFFINATELY not get a period this time? And when would I be able too take a hpt seeing how I had sex many times, not basing it off of a specific day? Thank you!

I’ve never been the type of person to drop my kids off with just anyone or for along period of time. I have three kids and twins on the way. My oldest son is going to be four in May and my daughter will be two in October and my youngest son will be one in August. That makes my youngest 7months right now. My youngest son is 21pounds and he loves the arms. I Pretty much have him in my arms all day. If not him my daughter. Anyway, I am on a high risk pregnancy since I have been bleeding for a while. I almost lost the twins three times. Plus before I new I was pregnant The Dr. put me on chemo. When they found out that I was pregnant they took me off of it right away! That right there put’s me on a lot of risk of the twins. They can be born with a lot of deformities or I can miscarry or they can be just fine. Of course my husband and I don’t believe in abortions so that was out of the question. Even if the Dr. thought that was what we should do, I say God is watching over my twins as well as my children. Anyway, the Dr. told me to take it easy, she said I cant pick up anything over 10pounds or I can lose my twins. Well my husband wants me to drop off my youngest son, since he’s the one that I hold most of the day and he cant walk, with his mother. She lives 30min away and she is willing to take my son for a week and I take him for the weekend when my husband is off work, once I have the twins or get out of this high risk he can move back in. I can visit him when ever I want and take him back whenever I want. This will help me so I can take it easy and I wont have to worry about holding my 21 pounder butter ball. I have never left my kids for so long anywhere. I fill like he wont remember me anymore. I don’t breast feed him, since they had to put me on chemo, so that’s one of the things I don’t have to worry about. But I fill so bad. I will have him on the weekends, but I know I will miss him. Why do I fill like I’m giving up my child? Should I take the help, or should I take the risk? If I take the risk, anyone have any ideas on how to take it easy? Thanks and God Bless.

If you have something rude to say please keep it to yourself. I had unprotected sex the morning i finished my period (sun. feb. 21), stupid i know. My cycle is only 26 days long so it was a few days later that i was set to ovulate. About a week after the sex i was feeling cramps in my uterus and feeling extremelly tiered and just drained. My breasts started feeling achey so i took a test on mar. 6 (13 days after sex) and it was negative. I was not stressed and at that point thought it was ok im not pregnant. A few days later along with those symptoms I started having dizzy light headed spells as well as some mood swings. I started feeling cramps like my period were to start a week early but than it just stopped. Now i find myself eating ALOT more than usual. I was suppose to start my period today but have not. I have no signs of starting it and normally i can tell a couple days before i start. Instead of starting i am just having alot of thick white discharge. Wed would be a month since my period so on thurs. i will def. be late even though i should have started today. My ex doesnt want a baby and wants nothing to do with me cuz i refused to get an abortion if i am but im now ok with that and dont care. Im not stressed and do not believe i am imagining this so please dont suggest that. Im ok if i am im being realistic and just calm and patient. I am just asking for input on if anyone thinks the test was wrong, if im experiancing symptoms, and if you think i am pregnant. I am waiting until the end of the week before i test, just getting opinions. It has been about 23 days since the sex and i am not getting abortion or giving it up if i am just to be clear. Thanx :)

I'm just about 10 weeks pregnant, I found out about a month ago & told the daddy. We aren't together & we weren't even planning on being together. It was an accident. I am starting to be really excited about it.. but he definitely doesnt seem to be yet. He has told me wants a boy though, & told me he's going to do everything he can. but the situation sucks.. he's a marine stationed 2 hours away from where i live so we basically only can see eachother on the weekends.. & not every weekend because he sometimes goes home to ohio & I live in MD. The distance thing is hard & since ive told him ive only seen him once he came up this past weekend & stayed the night with me & met my parents. We havent really talked about whether or not were going to try to be together.. right now were just trying to get to know eachother better. Everytime i ask him questions he says "It doesn't matter" "I don't care, its up to you" maybe he just needs time to adjust. He has made ALOT of improvements.. at first he ignored me for a week but now he doesnt ignore me anymore.. idk its just bothering me alot the whole situation sucks! Not to mention in Nov. 2011 he's getting moved from where he is stationed at now.. but he claims we'll worry about that when the time comes.. any advice?!? or should i just let him get used to it.. & stop worrying so much? BTW its our first baby ill be 21 in a month & he'll be 20 in may.. so idk if that would make a big difference?!

im 21 & have a normal cycle, im rarely late. but last month (feb) i was 9 days late & had a 48 hr mens. cylce. this month (mar) i was 2 weeks late & im having an oddly lite flow..

I have an irregular period but for the past couple months I have been able to count a 21-28 day cycle. Recently me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex for four days the week before my expected period. It was supposed to start today and I didn't get it normally two days before my period starts I get menstrual cramps and I haven't gotten them my bf is certain that I could be pregnant I'm not really worried but I'm not sure either but my question is could I be pregnant?

I"m 21 weeks and I'm pregnant. I'd like to know if this week is good to have an ultrasound to find out my baby's gender? This time when I take the ultrasound I have to pay $140 dlls because Medical only covers 1 or 2 ultrasounds., so I wanna know for sure and don't lose 140 bucks. Please Advise and Thank you for your time.

My friend is very ignorant. I have no clue wether she has low self esteem but she is really starting to annoy me. She has turned into a serious slut. She got pregnant and refused to tell her parent until 4 months had passed. She cried to her parents for an abortion until they finally decided to pay for it. Then she had the nerve to say that she was happy. So then she goes to the doctor and they give her the abortion pills. They also tell her she can't have sex within the time frame of two weeks. Then she gets all mad talking about she's going to have sex. Then we get into the cafeteria(mind you we are in 10th grade) and she just starts talking about people calling them stupid slits. She has had sex with a 21 yr old because she said he was cute. She really didn't know him. I could go on and on about the childish ignorant things she did. But my question is what should I tell her. She is honestly getting on my nerves with her smutty behavior.

I'm 21 years old and I have been on birth control for about 6 months now. I waited one month until I started having sex with my boyfriend (to make sure it was fully kicked in) and everything has been going great. About four weeks ago, I was on the "sugar pill week" of my birth control pack. I got my period that week, as I normally do, but because my periods are rather short, I was not bleeding the full week I was on the sugar pills. On the last day of the sugar pill week (the night before I would start my new pack), my boyfriend and I had sex without a condom. While he did not ejaculate in me (he never does even when I'm on the pill) and the birth control is said to protect you during your sugar pill week, I am still very paranoid about pregnancy. The next day, I took my active birth control pill at the same time I normally do, yet I am still very worried. I am due for my period today, but it's still morning and I haven't got it yet. Could I be pregnant or am I just worrying too much?

I have a friend who has PCOS. She also has a bicornuate uterus. Her and her husband had tried for 6 years to have a baby. She finally got pregnant and she lost the baby 2 years ago due to an incompetent cervix at 21-22 weeks. This time when she got pregnant, she started to thin and dilate at 18 weeks again. They did a cervical cerclage and put her on complete bedrest. She has been in the hospital since the middle of December, and she is now at 36 weeks! The baby is healthy and they are removing the cerclage today. Does anyone have any experiences they would like to share with the cervical cerclage removal? How long did it take til you had the baby? Did it result in a vaginal delivery or c-section? Thanks!!

The next day, I took my active birth control pill at the same time I normally do, yet I am still very worried. Something to note - Ever since I've started this birth control, it causes me to throw up the first night of every new pack I start. I know I should switch, but the doctor said to give it 3 months for my body to get used to it, so I just keep holding off. The night we had sex on the last day of my sugar pill (as explained above), I did NOT vomit that next night I took the pill. This is what had me worried, but I'm sure it's just nothing. I am, however, starting my next sugar pill week today. I usually get my period tonight or tomorrow, but it hasn't come yet. Nor have I felt any period cramps and whatnot. This also worries me :( So yeah, any comfort or advice would be appreciated. I'm pretty sure that I'm protected on the sugar pill week and even then, I took my active pill the next day like I was supposed to. So I should be okay? Thanks! It is now Monday morning and I am still waiting for my period..

im feeling some of the same symptoms i did when i was pregnant before, but again with my girl it took 9 weeks before i finally got a positive result so taking a test wont quit work... ive been nausas, tired alot, real bad headaches, cant eat sweets without feeling sick, peeing alot(more then normal), backaches, dizzy alot, ive gained weight, feeling week alot, and i started getting heartburn again... im only 21 if that helps. does anyone think this is pregnancy? im about a week or two late on my period. my husband and i are sexually active and have been since about 12 days after i had my first and im not on birth control

Im 21 years old, just married and we are not trying to conceive at this point in time, but I am late by a 5 days and a week ago, I had some sharp pains that lasted several hours, only they didn't really feel like period cramps usually do. They were in my left side right above my hip and extended over to around the area right below my belly button. They only lasted a few seconds each time it happened, but they took my breath away each time.These pains took place about 12 days after I should have ovulated.. I didn't really think much of it cause we are really careful and it didn't occur to me that I might be pregnant. I usually get horrible cramps and terribly sore breasts a few days before my period starts and so far, none of this has happened this month. I plan to take a hpt test, but I can't do that til tomorrow and I am terribly impatient lol. So I just want to know if anyone had any implantation cramps similar to this? (Also, I know that because Feb is a shorter month, march's period could seem late, but I know this and I've taken this into consideration and I'm still 5 days late)

ok so im 21 weeks pregnant and my husband stuck his finger up my vagina (he did it suddenly) and took it right out right when he did a couple trickles of stuff came out of my vagina like clear fluid. Did my water break?? Or could this just have been pee? How would I know if my water did break? I plan on going to drs first thing in morning but would like to sleep peacefully tonight. uhmm your sooo rude. this is true and im scared to shi* I am really worried it dripped out uncontrollably. YOUR SOOO RUDE!!!
