Open Question: someone please help 30 weeks pregnant and bleeding?
(Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:15:44 GMT)
Last night my husband and I had sex and soon after i started cramping mildly. I just figured it was braxton hicks or something like that and went to sleep. Well in the middle of the night my son was crying so i got up put him back to bed and noticed i was cramping really really bad. I went to go to the restroom (pee) and get a glass of water but when i went pee a ton of blood came out and i was hurting really bad. I layed back down and for like half an hour had serious cramping and it hurt to even touch my stomach that felt like a rock! I went to sleep hoping it would go away and when i got up i felt a lot better and no more bright red bleeding just brownish red. I have felt my daughter moving so my nerves are calmed down.
What I am asking since there is no more bleeding or cramping and she is moving do you think I am fine. I have a doctors appointment Tuesday but just curious whether anyone has ever bleed a lot after having sex at 30 weeks pregnant or anything like that.
I was told to be on pelvic rest (due to some mild cramping) a few weeks ago but i had felt fine for a week and no cramping so thats why we had sex last night now definitly not going to go by just how im feeling i will definitly not be having sex again until this baby is out way to scary!
Sorry this may sound gross but just a few hours ago I took a shower and when i was about to get out i noticed a pretty big blob of brownish red mucus. I'm not sure if it was possibly my mucus plug or just blood from last night. I don't ever remember anything from when i had my first son so im not sure what do you think???

Open Question: Am I pregnant? I have been having unprotected sex for a little over a month now.?
(Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:32:03 GMT)
My bf and i have been having unprotected sex since February. The last time i got my period was on Feb 13. I always get my period every 28 days, its never late. It's been 30 days now. I was suppose to start my period somewhere around march 12 or 13. Is it too early to take a pregnancy test? I'm hoping that i am pregnant, i've been trying to get pregnant for a while and failed. I've also been having weird dreams, 1 week ago i had a dream that i was surrounded by rabbits, and according to the dream book "rabbits can represent luck, quickness, fertility, pregnancy". Then 3 days ago i had a dream i took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. I also looked that up in the dream book and it reads "At times, women learn about their pregnancy in their dreams. Your mind knows about everything that is going on in your body even if you are not consciously aware of it ".
I hope i am pregnant! That would make me oh soo very happy!! :D
i'm also a smoker, i smoke maybe about 3-4 cigarretes a day.
Even though i know that there could be a chance that I AM pregnant i still continue to smoke. .
but there's also a chance that i might NOT be pregnant and that is my excuse why im
still smoking now hah is that confusing? lol
but today i decided to quit smoking. . just in case i am preg, don't want to hurt the embryo.
okay enough of that! Sooo
the symptoms that i have been having are:
been getting cramps but no period. (this morning i woke up with cramps again, but no period)
i am feeling extremely sleepy all the time.
kinda moody.
when i eat, i don't feel full, so i've been eating more than i usually do.
So am i pregnant!? :D
or is it too soon to tell?
when should i take a home pregnancy test? i'm thinking of trying ClearBlue pregnancy test.

Open Question: I am quite nervous. Should I be?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:26:50 GMT)
I am 20 and so is my boyfriend. Almost one week ago (last Wednesday morning), my boyfriend and I had intercourse. We always use protection (male condom). I was on birth control for over a year and stopped taking it about 2 months ago because i could not afford it. I just started it up a week ago. So at the time of our intercourse incident, i only was on the pill for 3 days. Tuesday night we had intercourse and he did not take a "leak" after wards. He did clean up however. Wednesday's morning intercourse did not last long at all.. 5 min? if that. He checks often to see if the condom slips off or anything.. he felt something funny and told me the condom had a hole in it! I felt something warm inside me within the few minutes.. i honestly thought it was myself releasing liquids. He never finished because he had blue balls later that day. I had to leave for school and none of the pharmacies opened till 8 and my first class began at 8. I wanted to buy the morning after pill :Plan B. I took the pill at 12:30 that day. I am now having discharge in my underwear. I am used it to since it usually comes a week before my period.. but I am just concerned. I have not felt morning sickness, even though that may be a little too early anyway. I am normally fatigued and have been peeing a lot within the last month. Can you please tell me what my chances are of becoming pregnant? I need reassurance.

Open Question: chances of being pregnant?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:21:25 GMT)
this first part is a repost but i needed all of this information plus what started today so you would have a better idea on whether its likely i'm pregnant or not..... haven't had a period since december. in january me and my ex had sex, we both kinda had a buzz(big mistake i know) after i missed my period in january i told my ex he went off on me and told me to keep my mouth shut because he wore a condom and that i was probably "knocked up" from one of my "other guys" i took a test and it was negative. so i didn't worry then in feb. i started gettin cramps and thought my period was coming, my boobs got really sore n stuff too. after feb 12th went by and still no period i finally took another test and it too was negative. i started to get constipated (srry tmi lol) n getting really worried so i asked my ex again if he was sure the condmo didn't break he got pissed off again and told me to leave him and his girl alone, (he cheated on her with me in jan. so i think he just might not wanna tell me if the condom broke, thinking it would break him and her up if i were pregnant) if i am pregnant i'd be about 8 weeks.. i started getting alot more hungry a couple weeks ago and these past few days i've been soo tired.i go to bed at 10 and sleep till like 10 30 the next day. i still haven't started my period. i was thinking about going to the doctor, but i would have to tell my mom then because i'm only 17. (please don't judge me or leave any rude comments because of my age, if i am pregnant, i will not abort the baby and i will raise it with the help of my parents to get through school) i haven't been on bc, and all my periods are usualy reg. this morning i woke up at 7 and i felt like i was gonna throw up. my stomachs felt empty all day i ate like an hour ago and i feel like i'm starving but nothing sounds good and some things taste weird. i was eating a cheeseburger and i like hiccupped and felt like i was gonna puke.. please give me advice! could it be morning sickness?

Open Question: 35 weeks pregnant...pre labor signs last night?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:18:23 GMT)
SHARP pains in my groin that literally stopped me in my tracks.
they came and went.
later they returned but this time with cramping/tightening in my stomach. (i guess thats contractions)
nausea along with that.
then loose stools.
contractions lasted for about 2 hours when i started timing them
because i called labor and delivery and they called them contractions they were 5 minutes apart for about 30 minutes. then it stopped.
i still have alot of pressure in my groin area.
sometimes the sharp pains.
this morning when i woke up.... sharp cramping that went down the front of my legs.
only lasted for about 2 minutes.
im so confused. should i be getting prepared. i mean i know regardless i should because im so far along. but... should i be expecting it sooner than a month from now? i was so scared last night. i kept repeating last night "im not ready im not ready!!!! NOT YET" i have panic attacks so i have to really prepare myself.

Open Question: Brown watery discharge - miscarriage!!??
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:46:59 GMT)
I woke up at 4:30 this morning to put in my progesterone pessary, and when I went to the toilet there was a spot of blood on my panty liner, and when I wiped there was a bit of blood. The colour of the blood was kinda browny-pink (sort of like a dirty orange colour). I panicked and went to tell my husband, and he told me dont worry about it just sleep. So I put in my progesterone pessary and went back to bed. I had kinda period type cramps if i slept on my side, but sleeping on my back made them go away.
Anyways, I woke up at 6, and wiped and it was like water brown. I made my husband's and brother's lunches for work. Cooked breakfast and then went back to the toilet. No change, still watery brown.
I have to wait until 9am (its almost 7am here in Australia) for my doctor to open, and then I can't guarantee that I will be seen straight away.
Other Info: 7 weeks pregnant; 2 previous miscarriages, no other children; baby's heartbeat seen last week on ultrasound (129 bpm).
Please help, I can't lose another one :(

Open Question: Itchy breasts and stomach... PMS, Pregnancy or something else?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:13:47 GMT)
My girl friend and I are a bit concerned that she may be pregnant. We're thinking she isn't, however, we still need some help. She started on Lavora birth control pills back August. When she started birth control, the side of her breasts down to her stomach was real itchy for about three months straight. Eventually the itching went away. Now it's starting up again after about 7 months of being on the pill. There isn't really a rash, just some white/skin colored bumps.. The itching started about 1-2 weeks ago. We looked through a paper that was given to her with her birth control and rash was a side effect. The reason we're thinking she's NOT pregnant is for one, she takes her pill every day, never missed a day, however, she's been like an hour late a couple times and sometimes she's like 15-30 minutes late She doesn't take any medicine that would mess with the effectiveness of the pill. I use a condom every time for extra protection. We have had a couple scares with Pre-Ejaculation but after researching that, I'm pretty sure we're in the clear. Another reason we think it ISN'T pregnancy is because she's suppose to start her period in a few days and her breast are feeling sore (just like every time she's gotten her period since she started getting it at age 14). Could the itching be a sign of PMS? One of her friends at work told her she had the same itchy problem last month before she started her period.. She doesn't have any other pregnancy symptoms.. She's small (about 90ibs) so her periods are always different (symptoms and length). I'm trying to help by giving any other helpful info... Like I said, same itching as when she first started birth control, she just doesn't know what's causing it and it's making us a bit worried. Thanks!

Open Question: I think my sister is going into labour at 35 weeks!?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:44:47 GMT)
My sister is 35 weeks pregnant, she has been experiencing braxtons hicks from 27 weeks onwards. Her and her boyfriend are here for mother day with my family and she isn't near the hospital she was planning to give birth in. This morning she thought she was having normal braxton hicks but now they are getting worse and her boyfriend is timing them and they seem to be 25-30 minutes apart each time and sometimes only 18-20 minutes apart. My boyfriend is increasingly worried and her midwife has said go to the nearest general hospital but my sister isn't having none of it. She keeps telling the whole family its too soon and the baby isn't ready yet. We think shes just worried because her baby will be premature but everyone says the pregnant mother knows best. Shall we believe her and leave it or do we need to literally force her to the hospital? Thanks.
P.s you may have seen some of her questions, Evalynn P in the pregnancy and name department :). I'm so proud of her!
They havent gotten closer but she thinks she may have just passed her mucus plug. My to be brother inlaw is taking her to hospital whether she likes it or not, she isnt as reluctant now she has passed her mucus plug so quickly.

Open Question: has anyone had any experience with DLC debt collectors? please help if you can!?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 11:04:23 GMT)
I took out a mobile phone contract with vodafone that was supposed to be £30 a month when i recieved my monthly bill the charges were £180 plus!! there is no way on this earth i can have gone over my contract when i had unlimited texts and 700 minuits and I hardly used to talk on the phone.. anyway I stopped my direct debit with them and tried to contact them millions of times and never got through, i sent them a letter also which wasn't responded to... a few weeks later I recieved a letter from DLC saying I owed them £400 and to contact them which I did and then I started paying the maximum I could afford which is £20 a week for the next few months, Now I have recieved another letter claiming I owe them £1,308.74 and If I dont get in contact with them in the next two days a debt collector will be round at my house!!. .
I currently live with my parents so nothing here belongs to me, Im also pregnant and off sick from work on 79.00 a week they already are taking 20 out of my account every friday which leaves me to live on 59.00 a week which has to include rent and food and there is no way on this earth I could pay back a thousand pounds especially which I know I havnt spent! The phone got cut off the day after I didnt pay my first bill so it is physically impossible for me to have used it...
Today I tried to ring them but the office is closed on a sunday.. Im very worried about this and don't have a clue what to do because If I get in touch with them they ask for my bank details to pay them the money which I just cannot afford especially as im buying baby stuff aswell ..... plllease help... has anyone been in a similar situation or dealt with DLC before? what will happen if i just leave it? I am moving in the next week because I cannot stay here with a baby as it is a flat with a lot of stairs..

Open Question: Am i entitled to my short term disability?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:22:44 GMT)
I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I've worked at my company for 7 years. I pay for my health benefits thru work and have short term disability included in my benefit package. My job as a housekeeper has now become too difficult and dangerous as I lift more than my doctor said is safe and I've developed episodes of contractions after heavy lifting. I asked my employer to make accommodations for me on friday or to move me to another position and they said no position is available and told me to come back after I had the baby!!! I was told to fill out family medical leave act paperwork. They said I cannot use my short term disability even when i cannot preform my current job because i could preform a desk job but they do not have one to give me!

Open Question: Pregnant, and my tummy feels weird...?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:33:56 GMT)
Ok so I am 4 weeks 5 days preggo today, and for the past week I have tried to eat all the normal foods that I am used to eating. When I go to eat the food grosses me out, or I feel really full even after just one or 2 bites. Now it is 1:30 am and I am starving, but I am not sure if when I start ot eat my body will cooperate. I haven't thrown up or anything, but sometimes my tummy hurts a little when I try to eat (like stomach cramps).
I am assuming this is normal. I guess I am just looking for women with similar experiences, and what they have done to be able to eat normally. I need to be able to eat, and at times have gotten dizzy, so I am a little worried.
Side note: I am soooo excited as hubby and I have been ttc for 2 years, and are due November 2010!
This is my 2nd pregnancy. My daughter is now 5, and it seems like it has been forever since I had her. The only symptom I had with her was heartburn....so this is all new to me lol

Open Question: I can't seem to find the right time to my family I'm pregnant. Anyone have this problem?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:47:45 GMT)
I am 16 weeks pregnant, and I know my sister is going to be STOKED, and I think once the shocks wears off, so will my mom. I'm 30 years old, but not married (however now I'm stuck with him anyways....lol j/k), but I don't know why I can't find the right time. I am definitely a more private person, but feel like something must be wrong with me because my sister is my best friend and I talk to her every day, but yet, just can't spit it out. It's like I just want things to be 'perfect', whatever that is, or maybe I just want to keep it between me, my man and baby?? I don't even know what kind of a response I'm looking for on here, but just wondering if any of you went through this at all.

Resolved Question: what position is my baby?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:14:23 GMT)
i read that the 'lump' you feel on top of your belly you can push it and if it moves by itself its the head if the whole baby moves is the baby's bottom! i do that but BOTH happens lol. If i push it i feel pressure down there and the bump moves too so does anybody knows? when im laying down when she moves i feel it both side. I don't have my doctors apt till 3 more weeks so am just wondering (30 weeks pregnant)

Open Question: Advice! About Labor (1st child)?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 02:52:48 GMT)
I'm almost 30 weeks pregnant! I'm nervous and not really sure what to expect. How will I know or tell my water broke? Or if Im having contractions? My mom had a c-section so she never had to her water break or anything. So I'm not sure what to actually expect! Everyone in my family has had their baby's at least three weeks early. (I think it runs in the family.) So I don't think I'll carry to full term or to my due date. So I guess that could be considered early labor. I'm 16 years old. And yes I know that I am young. But I'm taking responsibility for my actions. Instead, of getting an abortion. My family does know and are all very supportive of me! I got my GED which is the same as a high school diploma now-days. I know high school is better but I was paying $500.00 a month just to go. So it was to expensive to continue going there. I know I can be a great mother to my baby girl. I'm just looking for people who have been there that could help me with this. Tell me everything. The more information the better. I would like to know what different people have experienced and went through.

Open Question: How fast can I dilate from a 3cm with my back to back pregnancy?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:56:58 GMT)
I had my daughter April 28th 2009 and than got pregnant two months later with my son and am due April 1st 2010. So I have had a back to back pregnancy, I dont know if that has anything to do with my current pregnancy. But I have been told having a back to back can increase your chances of having the baby sooner and faster.
I went in to my doctors appt at 36 weeks and was dilated at 1cm 30 % effacement, and at my 37 week appt I was told I am a Good 3cm dialated 90% effacement. I was told he is pretty low and in position to go. I have lost my mucus plug.
I experiance times when my tummy feels tight (cant tell if its tight because of contractions or because the baby has moved) I do have constant back pain and I have experianced some preasure in my pelvic and sometimes I feel preasure on my vagina. Sometimes feels like someone has a pencil inside of me and keeps poking me.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of a back to back pregnancy. My doctor says that I probably would not make it to week 39. So I am wondering if anyone has any simular stories. And if anyone knew good home remedies to help this process go faster. I am exhausted.
\
That is also something I have noticed the past two days I just want to sleep all the time. It is impossible not to have a nap. I do not know if its because I am ready for my son or because I have a 10 month old here at the house that wares me out.

Resolved Question: Is this labor? Help again, please?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:09:45 GMT)
I asked this question earlier but this time I have more to add.My cat is 9 weeks pregnant starting Monday. Today her behavior has changed DRASTICALLY. I am so exhausted because of it. She made a nest under my sister's bed 2 nights ago. Today she hasn't eaten at all but had water. She is also very very very VOCAL. And she wants attention badly. This is her first litter, so I understand that she is a bit unsure and a little scared. I think it's to the point where she wouldn't mind giving birth in front of me. Upstairs, she sat on my bed and I petted her and she purred. Her stomach would get hard and then soft, then hard. When it got hard, the bodies of the kittens pressed against her side making little bulges. But the hardness could last 30 sec to a minute so I'm not sure if they're contractions or what. So that's one question I have.
ALL DAY i sat with her. ALL DAY. I love my cat and if I'm not with her, she cries and wanders around the house with her loud meows. Then I feel terrible. It doesn't work petting her downstairs. Now she can't just be petted anywhere. I have to sit right by my sister's bed where her nest is. She'll go sit in her nest and if I leave the room, she'll somehow know and follow me out. She'll make a racket until I come back.
When are these kittens coming because I think I'm going to go crazy?!
oh also, she was never a vocal cat. She's done more meowing today than she has in her whole life!

Open Question: 38 weeks pregnant with constant cramps?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:58:40 GMT)
Yesterday I was really tired and kinda just felt 'blah'. Last night, I had what I think were contractions but it was only twice. I had severe period like cramps that hurt so bad it brought tears to my eyes! lol
Today, I've been having some period like cramps just not real bad cramps. It's been constant for maybe over an hour now. I also went to the bathroom about 15-20 minutes ago and my underwear were all wet. What does this mean? I'm watching to see if the new pair of underwear I have on get wet too. I've drank PLENTY of fluids today and I empty my bladder regularly (30-45 minutes). Could this mean labor is near?!?! :D

Open Question: Short term disability.... what is your personal experience with it?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:40:03 GMT)
I am 30 weeks pregnant and work as a housekeeper at a 5 star resort where I clean large condos. My doctor has said due to the physical demands of the job and being now 30 weeks prego and the fact that i've been having contractions that I am no longer safe to continue working housekeeping. I told my employer this and requested they give me "light duty" for the remaining weeks of my pregnancy. They told me there is no light duty work for me to do and unless I want to clean (which I obviously cannot) I must leave without pay and I cannot use my short term disability. They said because I CAN do light duty this means I do not qualify for short term disability even when I CANNOT perform the my original job descriptions. Is this true?
It's not a “state run program” it’s something I pay for out of my pay check every week incase I’m unable to perform my duties at work. My friend used her STD for a month because she couldn’t work due to an ovarian cyst. It’s up to 25 weeks of paid time off. I’ve been with the company for 7 years. It’s part of my health care package and I’ve been paying for it for 7 years in case I needed it for reasons just like this. HR explained when I signed up for it that it’s a good idea if you plan on having children because you often need time off before hand!!!

I am 30 weeks pregnant and we are starting to have an issue with spiders. Its not your normal one or two spiders here and there. I have tried sprays but it doesn't seem to help much. I really don't want to use a chemical bomb to get rid of them because of how far a long i am. Is there anything out there that doesn't require nasty chemicals but works fairly well?

Open Question: Haven't had many answers. Please help me out.?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:54:12 GMT)
I know I ask too many questions but I am really a curious person. Anyways, here it goes. My husband and I are TTC and we did everything that we were supposed to do last month. We had sex on all the right days, I laid with hips elevated for 30 minutes, cut caffeine, we are eating healthier, we don't smoke or drink, etc. I had cramping 6DPO through 19DPO and my period is very very late. I have never been late for my period ever and I have never missed a period. I took 6 home pregnancy tests in between 10DPO and 19DPO. I had a blood test on 20DPO. On 8DPO I had a pulling feeling in the front of my abdomen and 12DPO I had light pink bloody mucus. On 21DPO the lower right side of my abdomen was very hard and there was a dull pain that lasted about 4 hours. It WAS NOT pms. I am now 9 days late for my period and I have no signs of starting it any time soon. Also for about 4-5 days I have been feeling really nauseous but I have not vomited. I also have been very tired, urinating a lot more, and I feel like I am going to faint if I don't eat constantly. Is there any way that the blood test could have been wrong? Or that I could be pregnant but that the HcG isn't doubling? What do you think? My husband said that a friend of his at work told him that her daughter didn't get a positive pregnancy test until 2 weeks after her missed period. Is that possible?

Open Question: Short term disability... am I eligible?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:19:36 GMT)
I am 30 weeks pregnant and work as a housekeeper at a 5 star resort where I clean large condos. My doctor has said due to the physical demands of the job and being now 30 weeks prego and the fact that i've been having contractions that I am no longer safe to continue working housekeeping. I told my employer this and requested they give me "light duty" for the remaining weeks of my pregnancy. They told me there is no light duty work for me to do and unless I want to clean (which I obviously cannot) I must leave without pay and I cannot use my short term disability. They said because I CAN do light duty this means I do not qualify for short term disability even when I CANNOT perform the my original job descriptions. Is this true?
No it’s not a “state run program” it’s something I pay for out of my pay check every week incase I’m unable to perform my duties at work. My friend used her STD for a month because she couldn’t work due to an ovarian cyst. It’s up to 25 weeks of paid time off. I’ve been with the company for 7 years. It’s part of my health care package and I’ve been paying for it for 7 years in case I needed it for reasons just like this. HR explained when I signed up for it that it’s a good idea if you plan on having children because you often need time off before hand!!!

Resolved Question: Hotter while pregnant?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:59:09 GMT)
I am 20 weeks and have been so hot wit this weather change. It started getting warmer about a week or so ago it went from about the 20's/30's to the 40's/50's and it feels like I'm so hot all the time. I constantly feel like i need something to drink and even had to put a fan in my window. I've heard that your body temp rises while pregnant. Is this how I'm going to be during the summer time?

Open Question: Has anyone here had their bf/husband walk out on u during pregnancy? If so, how did u deal during & after :-(?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 06:18:19 GMT)
I'm in my 30's and stable, he is in his 40's and also stable. His excuse for walking out was that he already has 2 teenage daughters from a previous marriage and is "too old" to have more children anyway. He hasn't come around since I told him I was pregnant 2 weeks ago and the few times he called, it was to pressure me to have an abortion but now that he knows I'm keeping the baby he has walked out completely.
Has anyone been in this situation before? How did you deal with it?

Open Question: could morning sickness be starting this early?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:50:02 GMT)
my husband and i have been having unprotected sex since about the 20th of february. i took a test four days ago but it was negative. anyways all the sudden today i am having overwhelming nausea and heartburn...i feel like im going to vomit really bad then i eat something and it calms it for about 30 minutes or so then it fires up again. also im really really tired and sluggish and a little dizzy. i am currently on doxycycline for a swollen gland in my throat, so idk if maybe that is it but i cant help but wonder. i havent had periods in 2 years because i was on depo provera til last august and they still havent returned so there is no way to gauge how far along i would be other than the fact i have been having unprotected sex 3-7 times a week for 3-4 weeks. btw, yes i am trying to get pregnant so no lectures please. and since i cant go by my period when is the earliest i could test for pregnancy?

Open Question: Can my employer lay me off due to my pregancy alone?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:08:58 GMT)
I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I've worked at a high end resort for the past 7 years as a housekeeper. Due to complications my doctor has told me I need to stop doing housekeeping and be put on "light duty" until after my baby is born. upon telling this to my employer they told me they have no job to offer me other than cleaning and I must take unpaid leave unless I want to continue to clean. Keep in mind I've worked various other positions at the resort in the past 7 years from office work to babysitting. Can they legally force me to stop working all together like this? I want to work! I just cant do heavy lifting and all the bending that is associated with cleaning anymore. Any input? I also have short term dis. benefits that I COULD use but they say that I cannot use them because I can work just not do my regular job.

Open Question: Do you think this might be early labor?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:30:44 GMT)
I have an appointment on Wednesday morning, so if nothing else happens ill wait till then.
All right well Im currently 29 weeks and 3 days pregnant. But lately Ive been having these feelings that my baby might come early. I dont know if all pregnant women feel like this at one point or just me.
I guess I get Braxton Hicks contractions mostly every night at night. My stomach gets tight, my lower back starts hurting and my pelvis starts hurting too. I might get them maybe every 3-4 hours, some are bad enough to wake me up. [I dont really notice them during the day]
Yesterday night when I went to go pee, I saw one tiny spec of blood twice. Went to go pee again maybe 30 min later and wasnt there any more.
Yesterday I did have some clear stringy discharge. Im not sure if thats the mucous plug starting to "break apart".
And if it helps, Ive been leaking colostrum and the baby has moved head down since about 27 weeks.
Thats really all I can think of for now. I feel my baby kick and punch right now as I type this so Im not pulling out my hair being a worry wart. I just want to hear some advice from other women or if anybody else has gone threw this.
Thank you.

Resolved Question: Ok...I am going crazy!?!?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:57:03 GMT)
I am 11 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I KNOW I have been feeling little flutters for almost a week now. I have had 3 other children...this is my 4th and I know how crazy this seems. To me it just seems impossible but I know that is what it is. I have had 3 other children so I know it isn't gas or anything else. I am 100% sure it is the baby I am feeling. I felt my first child at 18 weeks for the first time. My second I felt at 16 weeks, and my 3rd I felt at 15 weeks. I have been feeling them earlier every time but 10 1/2 weeks seems just way too early. I know I am not further along because I had a ultrasound at 8 weeks and 1 day and my due date of September 30 was confirmed. There is no way the ultrasound could be wrong is there? I never heard of an ultrasound being wrong about a due date. I am starting to think I am just crazy!?! Opinions please!!

Open Question: Important Birth Control Effectiveness Question?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:54:47 GMT)
I'm 20 years old and I got the Birth control/Depo-Provera shot. I wanted to get and copper IUD but due to my confusion I couldn't and won't be able to until the shot wears off.
My bf comes home for college in another state this weekend. I was hoping to spend time with him and being sexual if possible. I won't get much time with him but the week end due to part time work and full time college for me.
I'm on the shot the doctor said it will not be fully effective until 7 days
I read about it being effective if you get it some time after you cycle or while you on it. I stat my cycle some time next week ( it weird so I don't know exactly when and it last 3 to 5 days)
does that mean I'm very fertile right now? ( note my cycle is a 30 to 35 days cycle not the usual 28)
MY boyfriend is going to use condom along with spermicide ( I'm not allergic to it as far as I know)
While that be enough or should I add the pull-out method to the condom spermicide and this shot that would be use full until 7 days?
I really what to have sex with my bf we have been together for 2 years not I only get to see him when he comes home form college in another state ( note we did go to the same high school so this is not a Internet bf) plus we don't get to spend our anniversary of dating together.
So your advise?
I don't want to get pregnant so I know the best thing to do is not have sex until 7 days have come and gone but he will have gone back before 7 days is up and i won't have time besides this weekend to spend with him ( as stated before)
So again whats your advice?
How effective will the multi protection be?
anything else I could add?
NOTE: I'm not waiting until marriage so to all who may post that please be objective and respectfully of others views.
Thank you!!!!

Open Question: Nervous for my second labor....?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:16:00 GMT)
I am 24 weeks pregnant with my second little girl...
My first pregnancy was really easy and so was my labor. I woke up at 5am (one day overdue) with really bad cramps (felt like constipation cramps, nothing that the doctors said contractions would feel like, it did not even cross my mind that I could be in labor) that never really went away but got stronger every couple of minutes, so I thought I needed to use the restroom. After 30 minutes of that with no success I called my mom and she said I needed to start timing my contractions. Sure enough they were 5 minutes apart, so I woke up my husband. We both took showers and got to the hospital by 7am. I was 6cm dilated when I got there, they checked me in and got me to my room. By 8:30am I wanted an epidural, I had to wait until 9:30am and I was 8cm dilated. The epidural stopped my labor, so they started pitocin. My contractions started back up at 10:30am and they broke my water. I was complete by 12pm, but my little one hadn't dropped yet (I forget the stations) so my nurse decided to let my contractions push her down. By 1:30pm I felt a lot of pressure and the nurse came running in, she said I was complete, but we could not find my doctor. We found him at 1:55pm and I delivered my daughter at 2:05pm.
I do not know why I am so nervous for my second, but I am. I am worried that it will go fast! My total labor was 9hours with my first and fairly easy. Any advice or stories?

Open Question: Anyone else feel this way?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:27:31 GMT)
I am 34 weeks and 5 days pregnant and for the passed few weeks i have been feeling very nauseous again but i have not thrown up, i have had more Braxton hicks contractions with the period crampy uncomfortable feeling, i have been feeling a lil bit dizzy here and there, when i stand up for periods of time i start to feel like im going to pass out and i get this weird feeling in my abdomen as if its being stretched or pulled and my face will get red and my pulse will race.(sometime it starts a minute or so after i get up and sometimes it does not start for a while longer) Sometimes i can just been over and lean on something and ill feel a bit better if its not that bad, or sometimes it will be to the point that even if i sit down it only helps a little and i have to lay down in order for the feeling to go away. I also feel that i dont want to eat lately and have been really tired again. Has anyone felt this way? Or know why i could be feeling this way? Does it sound normal? Or do you think something could be wrong with me? I have a doctors appointment today in 2 hours so i was gonna ask her about it then but i wanna know what you guys think and if anyone has had this or something similar to it. Thanks in advance for all your answers!
Oh and another question, last night i was shopping and when i was walking i felt a pain inside of me, like a pinching pain that felt like it started at my bladder and went down thru my vagina, does that sound familiar to anyone? It did last that long, maybe like 30 secs......Thanks!
