Hi, I'm nearly 7 weeks pregnant with my first baby, i'm 30 years old and am becoming really worried about this pregnancy being ectopic. I was on the mini pill just before becoming pregnant and over the last few days i've noticed that I have a pain in abdomen when I go to the loo. I have felt the cramping feeling in my uterus since finding out i was pregnant, which I'm thinking will mean if ligaments are stretching, then the baby should be attached to the right place?? I don't have any constant or severe pain in my tummy at all or any pain in my shoulder or any type of bleeding which I've read are other symptoms. I don't want to be over-reactive, I'm worried that if I call the Dr's they'll tell me that i'm imagining it, or being over-reactive. I've also noticed today that my nausea isn't as bad as it's been previously, i'm not sure if this is relevant or not. I'm finding this all so overwhelming and just want to do the right thing. Any advice??

HI ladies! I am 32 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby! Due May 2nd! This pregnancy has been really good to me meaning no sickness or pains really! Our son is measuring 3 weeks big but they are keeping my due date b/c it was confirmed at a 7 week ultrasound. At 28 weeks he was already 3lbs 11oz. I have another 1 this Friday to see how much he weighs! So Lately I have been feeling really tired! I work 8-5 & about 2 everday I hit a wall & get so tired! I guess thats normal though! I have minor swelling in my ankles but nothing a stranger would really even notice. I feel fat & had a question about weight.....how much did you gain by month 8th? Im up to almost 35lbs already! I know I dont eat as healthy as I should but I do try to do cardio at least 3 days a week (usually only for 30 mins) just walking or the elyptical. I started at 135 & was just under 170 at my last appt. I keep reading post where women only gained like 20 by now and I am wondering if I am the only one who put on 35!! Also I have been getting these sharp pains in my breasts....not all the time maybe a few times a day...is this normal? They already went up 2 sizes! 1 last thing.....I feel like I have to go to the bathroom all the time! I do drink alot of water (I crave it!!) & i was checked for a UTI & dont have 1. Dr. said its b/c the baby is squishing the bladder so only a little bit can make it feel full! Any1 else have this?? Just wondering if these things I'm going though are normal & if anything 1 else has them!! Hope ur pregnancy is going well :)

Got told today that my 6 month contract will NOT be renewed when it ends on 30 March. This was not a surprise to me as I am 13 weeks pregnant and another employee who was on a temp contract was told she would not be renewed last year. I've also been off sick with pregnancy sickness (have doctor's notes) which no doubt has annoyed my manager greatly (despite pregnancy related ilnessc being protected under anti-discrimination laws in the UK). I've been with the company snice January 2008 and a little p*d off at this, but it was no less than I expected, they do NOT treat their staff well and there is way too much favouritism. Anyway, what to do? I have five days to appeal but tbh I can't see myself being well enough to go back in just yet and even if I did and they gave me another 6 months contract, my baby is due mid-September and so I would not be able to work the full 6 months out. I don't think I'd get SMP if my contract ended two weeks after giving birth. I can't see much point in "appealing" . . . I should be able to claim Maternity Allowance from 27 weeks but not sure what to do in the interim. I have a three year old son at home so I'm not so worried about the "being bored" thing as the "lack of money" thing! Especially with baby bits and pieces to buy! I only worked part time and probably haven't paid enough NI stamps to get JSA, and my hubby works so I can't get Income Support. hubby doesn't really earn enough to support us both. We get tax credits already. Any ideas? I don't feel well enough to go job hunting yet - am still praying my pregnancy sickness will ease off soon. I'm already showing so I can't think that applying for a job and keeping the pregnancy secret would work. I doubt anyone would want to take a pregnant woman on anyway, knowing she'll be off on maternity leave by August at the latest. Anyone else lost their job whilst pregnant? What did you do? NB: am in the UK so don't need advice relevant to the USA thanks!

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I got a phone call from my doctor's office 3 days ago telling me my iron is low so I need to be taking ferrous sulfate 325 with a glass of OJ and not at the same time as my prenatal vitamins so I take it at night, the past 2 mornings I have woken up with stomach aches/cramps and darker stools. Is this normal? Will my body just get used to it and it will eventually go away? Should I call my doctor and let them know?

Me and my Fiance' have been trying to get pregnant my periods have always been on time on the 7th of every month. I have been with him for 6 months now and was just recently tested for STD'S and tested pos for chlamydia I guess this is something I had picked up from my ex husband because I have had very little sex partners and have always been careful. I went to my obgyn and I tested negative for a pregnancy I was in the ER with right ovary pain and they said I had a Folicle cyst on my right ovary and it was really small and in the process of bursting. I no longer have pain from that but I took the antibotics to treat the STD now still no period can this STD cause me from missing a period? did I ovulate late because of the STD? or the Cyst on my Ovary causing a delayed period? I am now 4 days late on my period and have not tested since a day after my period. Was it too soon? Should I wait a week and test again? I am a healthy 30 year old Female and never had period problems. Thanks

I have been with my guy many years.last year he started breaking off from me,dressing up saying he was bored of me and going out with mates.This hurt me as I loved him.I was pregnant and miscarried the baby..he didn't care..he was gone for months but eventually came back..then I got my own place and at 30 he wanted to live with his folks.so we split again.he was gone months again out drinking.he promised to spend his 30th with me-but spent the 4 days in the pub.now 2 months later we are starting to meet up twice a week,he hasn't even told his family and friends yet..what would you do here??

Hey well basically I have polycystic ovaries and I haven't had a period since 3rd October 2009 I gave birth to a daughter in August 2009 and I am wanting another. We haven't used any protection since january but when I was pregnant with my daughter they never discovered I was pregnant until I was 10 weeks gone due to my very low hcg levels and they only found out after doing blood tests. Now I have the following symptoms; - very sore tender breasts - nausea and vomiting - irritable -moody and emotional - extremely tired all the time - feeling bloated all the time. I also had very light spotting on and off for 4 days between the 20th and 24th January - it was nothig like a period. What do you think? I've taken loads of hpt and they are all negative but thats what it was like when i was pg with dd until I was 10 weeks gone. also I'm urinating almost every 30 mins to an hour! and i know I dont have a UTI. I only have a period every 3 to 4 months due to my Poly cystic ovaries so I may as well wait to see if I get a bump rather than waiting for a missed period. thanks to everyone who has answered so far - I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get a blood test.

Well techinally,I am now seeking a fourth opinion. I have been having severe lower and upper abdomen pains for nearlly 2 weeks. My first clue that something was wrong was that I was losing a lot of blood and my period was not due for a week and half. My periods have always been very regular and the amount of blood loss was light and normal for me. I rarely experienced any menstrual pains either. As well as the heavy bleeding, I was experiencing a lot of pain in my lower abdomen which were worse than normal. I was having to change the sanitary towels every 30 mins or so and experiencing drowsiness, headaches, and extremely tired. After the fews, the pain and bleeding worsened and I tried to make an appointment with my doctor to dicuss what I believed at that time was likely to be a miscarriage. I'd suspected I was pregnant before this all started and i'd never had heavy, irregular periods accompanied by abdominal pains and generally feeling really weak. Basically, as is usually the case, I couldn't get an appointment to see my doctor and despite telling the receptionist about my concerns, she referred me to a walk in centre where I spent three hours in the waiting room just to be told they had no doctors on site. From there, I went to the hospital who at first told me I'd had a miscarriage, and then three hours later, came back and told me that I hadn't and it was probably just a heavy period. They offered me painkillers and referred me to my doctor. At this point, I was in a lot more pain and was experiencing additional sharp and severe pains in my stomach, back and what I think is either my liver or gall bladder. My neck became sore and stiff and I was feeling constantly nauseous and kept feeling the sudden urge to vomit. I'd also become really withdrawn, depressed and an emotional wreck. I attempted to make an appointment with my doctor again on a few occasions and each time was sent elsewhere until after about a week of this, I ended up snapping at the receptionist and demanding an appointment, and she gave me one for the following day. I am told by a lot of people that I need to be more firm with people and demand things that I am entitled to, but I struggle to be anything but polite and shy and just end up accepting what they say as it's easier than attempting to argue. But it's got to the point now where I know it's not just a heavy period, particularly since the bleeding isn't even a problem anymore considering it stopped yesterday. I've ended up with like a million more things wrong with me which all point,from the ridiculous amount of research I've done, to ovarian cancer or another cancer in that general area, or meningitis, (which seems less unlikely). I have most of the meningitis and all of the symptoms of ovarian cancer and I've spent hours each day researching numerous websites such as bupa and cancer research uk, comparing all the symptoms in the hopes of finding another explanation for what I'm going through. And with no luck so far. Anyways I went to the doctors yesterday, arriving 5 minutes late because I had to walk there with agonizing back pain and I almost wish I hadn't bothered now. He was so rude to me because I was slightly late, and listened as I listed a few symptoms before he cut me off and told me I'd just had a heavy period and I was suffering with what he called a "tummy bug" due to problems in my bowel. His advice was painkillers. What is wrong with these people? Do doctors just not care anymore about the seriousness of people's problems and the risks they all taking with that person's life by just giving them some lame, ridiculous explanation for their problem - usual one "upset stomach" (as I have read from so many other people funnily another having the same symptoms as me, finding that no one will take them seriously and as a result when someone finally does pick up on the fact that it is cancer, it's too late. I sickens me. After some arguing with my doctor, however, he offered to put me on a waiting list for a scan and to give me a blood test the next day. It may be something way less serious than cancer, but for now, I don't have many other ideas what it could be and I just want to be able to rule it out and put my mind to rest. Also, my mum had ovarian cancer for nine years from the age of only nineteen years old and no one took her seriously until she moved to america and was immediately seen to and operated on in less than a week.. and by which time, after nine years, her cancer was really advanced and she was lucky to survive. My symptoms altogether are now severe upper and lower abdominal pains and lower back pains,all of which come and go suddenly but I always have a strange sensation in my abdomen that I can't really describe.. it's not like anything I've ever felt before. It's kinda like a tingling, almost vibrating feeling which is always there, but is often accompanied by severe sharp pains in my abdomen mainly where my liver/gall bladde My other

I have had what seem like pregnancy symptoms for the past 3/4 months. Im 20 and on the mycrogynon 30 but not the best at remembering to take it at the same time everyday however always take every pill. I started off with spotting before my period was due, went to the drs and had a negative pregnancy test. I have had my period every month for the past 3 months but it has been a bit lighter and much shorter...going from 5 days to 2/3 days long. I had nausea for about 2 months but that has been less recently but the most obvious thing I first noticed was a big increase in the amount of times I go to the toilet...having to get up in the middle of the night, almost every night, to go which was very rare before and going sometimes more than every hour. I have recently (in the last 3/4 weeks) started to have very sore breasts. This started as just a dull ache but now is quite painful and in both breasts. I also have lower back pain but I think this is from training. I took another pregnancy test the other day which was again negative...I'm not trying to get pregnant but dont know what else would cause these symptoms? and looking up on the internet have found women who didnt get a positive test until upto 16 weeks and well would be a bit scary if I was and didnt find out until then. I have a Drs appointment but not until next week...any previous experience would be great? or any ideas of what else could cause all this? Thank you in advance for your advice! Sarah x

My girlfriend is 30 weeks pregnant, due May 24th. She has submitted her request for her maternity leave to commence 6 weeks before her due date. Over the last week or two she has not been very well, but has still managed to get to work on all but two days. When she called work this morning to inform them that she wouldn't be in today however, her manager made a comment to the effect of "Me and the other managers are going to have to have a sit down and decide whether to put you on leave early now." This would present a huge problem for us as she will only get statutory pay for most of her leave as it is, and if she were made to leave early, that would mean we would have to survive longer on effectively just my wage. Can her employer "make" her leave work early like this? Or would it still ultimately be her say? Thanks in advance.

Hi there I have given in....I cannot take anymore. I originally wanted to battle through my nausea and sickness without having to rely on any drugs. It has gotten so bad now I have this morning telephoned the Doctor to see if he will prescribe me something (no appointments left!!). I am awaiting a call back. I am 8 + 5 and have been suffering from nausea since before I even knew I was pregnant for sure. It has slowly gotten worse, and by week 6 if I wasn't throwing up I was gagging all the time and felt sick 24/7! It would even wake me up in the night! I have tried eating crackers (bleugh first thing in the morning) and sipping ginger ale - neither of these worked. I have lost my appetite because the smell of certain foods make me gag. I am now living on yoghurt and fruit and orange lucozade and have invested in a pair of pressure/travel sickness bands to see if they help. This morning I thought all was fine, until 5 minutes before I was due to leave the house for work - which caused me to be 30 mins late - I could see two women (battle axes who like to stick their noses in and have a good talk about people looking at me with disgust because I was late) and to make matters worse no one knows I am pregnant. I had to have Monday off sick as I was throwing up all Sunday night and got no sleep and now suffer from nosebleeds everytime I am sick! I really did not want to have to resort to drugs - I would like any advice you can offer me regarding this and if you took them did they work for you? How long did you take them for? etc. Thanks ladies!

I don't know what is up with my husband. One day he's fine, the next he's not. It's like he is completely mentally unstable lately. He has found these new friends, and he has changed a lot since he's been hanging out with them. All they do is sit around, smoke pot (which he has always done so that doesn't change anything) and play video games. He's like a big kid around them, and I'm fine with that, I'm glad he's found people he can truly enjoy hanging out with. The only problem is that he wants to stay the night, and he wants to go out with them EVERY single day and stay gone till like midnight. He gets off work at five, so he's with them from about 5:30 till midnight. everynight, except for the weekends and he spends the night. I've put up with it long enough, so I finally said something to him. He got angry and told me that I was interefering with his freedom. We are MARRIED. He needs to be home. We started fussing regularly about him not wanting to come home. I asked him a few weeks ago if he still loved me he said yes, he was very in love with me, and wants to stay with me, but just wants to have some fun with his friends too. He said that he would grow out of this new "phase" he was going through. His friends are single, they're party animals, and I know that there is nothign I can do to make him stay away from them. I'm not going to try. So I left him alone All of a sudden the other morning he said he wanted a divorce. He said he just didn't want the family life anymore and wanted to be free. His friends are free, so he wants the same. The next day he came home like always and didn't say anything about the divorce, but carried on as usual. The only difference is that he is no longer telling me he loves me. Today, he came home, spoke to me and his daughter, and he was acutally very nice to us. Then he left and said he would be back "home" before dark..so he is still calling this his home, which is making me think he isnt' serious. He is still talking to me, and even being a little bit sweeter to me since mentioning the divorce. SO, I'm confused (and preggers with our second which he wanted btw) and a bit emotional. I don't need this. So, he is coming back "home" tonight, and eating supper, which I fixed, and living life as usual. I'm fine with that, but why would he bring up divorce if he isn't talking about it anymore? I don't get it. I'm trying not to get too upset bc I'm pregnant. I don't want head games either, we've been 2gether far too long for any of these childish games.

I'm 29 weeks plus pregnant and the past week or two iv been getting pains in my lower abdomen, lower back and inner thigh at the same time its not a all day thing it comes and go though out the day and last for about 30 Min's. iv had 2 baby's before and not had this problem so i really don't know what it is. the baby is moving. moving a lot more then my last 2 children so i know he is fine.

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.

Hello, I have very wierd numbness in my face that lasts for about 30 min, I have been diagnosed 3 years ago with anxiety disorder... so i was thinking maybe its from being worried.. I also just found out i am pregnant im 6 weeks.. i am getting an abortion.. and very worried about it can the numbness be caused from being too worried?? I just had full physicals done notthing is wrong all blood tests are great.. Please help) PS: do not judge me or say anything about my desicion regarding an abortion.. it is hard for me as it is..

to start off, i'm 16, junior in high school. i live with my mom, dad, sister. basically, i've come to and end. i'm just not sure where to go from here. i'm considering emancipation hopefully within the next 6-8 months. i've been looking into it and obviously you have to have a logical reason for the court to grant it to you. so i was wondering if any of the problems i have would qualify me. basically, life for me is school, working, cleaning, sleeping. that is it. during the average week, i get up at 6 30 every day. do an hour of chores. go to school. come home. chores until about 8. homework. dinner. help sister/ do sisters homework while she plays wii. dinner dishes. feed pets. and by then, its usually around 11 or 12 so i barely have time to shower. i dont ever sleep well because in our 5 bedroom house, my dad needs his own room, (ill get into their relationship shortly) my mom needs her own room/studio, my sister needs her own playroom, and we need a laundry room. so i have to share a room... my sister is an INSANE sleeptaker. who at least 5 times a night shakes me ridiculously hard and scares she shit out of me to wake me up and temm me she has to pee, or some jibberish. not exagerating.. its bad. so i go to bed at about 1230..get around 4-5 hours of sleep a night. maybe less. wake up at 6 30. ect. basically, im always running on full blast, but with no fuel. i hardly have time to feed myself or pack lunch for myself because im always making food for others, because i'm a vegeterian. anyway, my social life used to be wonderful. it was my safe place. the place i could go to get out of the arguments, out of all the work, and finally just relax and be a teenager for 5 seconds. i was on the absoulte top of the social scale at my school, and had great friends that i've been with since elementery school. i loved every second of it. recently, my parents' relationship has been spiraling downward. actually, its been on the way since i was born. my parents have both told me several times to my face "i ended there career" i ruined their chances of fame.. i was just a mistake... i should have been that abortion...ect. (they used to live in hollywood and had their own band, hence the need for the seperate studio room and all the equipment, and were actually semi-famous in the 80's/90's until they got pregnant and had to sell their prized downtown hollywood home, leave their bandmates and possible future fame, stop doing drugs, and settle down from the party life) so basically they blame me. constantly. which takes a toll. anyway. for around the past few years, ive been abused, (hit, kicked, pushed, smacked, slapped, hit with projectiles, pushed down stairs, kicked in stomache and ribs, pushed into things, verbally abused to the MAX, using just about every name in the book, emotionally abused, ect.) but having those great friends who cared made life okay. it made the weeks of work and stress and torture worth the weekend. they are honestly the only times i can say i'm happy. my sister is always babied, no matter WHAT. always. im expected to do her work, feed her animals, clean her bathroom, do her laundry, pick up her clothes/toys, feed her, clean her half of the room/make her bed, clean her furniture, and basically wait on her. ) my mom is a complete neat freak btw, as in OCD, which doesnt help the matter. anyway, my mom has no longer found the need to defend me from my dad when he's angry, (all the time, he's a post-cancer survivor and has serious un-handled mental trauma from almost passing away) so i take the fall for everything. i am literally the family spacegoat. if he has a bad day at work, i get hit and grounded. when he forgets to pay the propane bill, i get kicked and told i'm a fucki*g piece of shit. but like i said, friends made it worth the while. lately, i have not been allowed out of my house, at all, for any reason. i've been as kind and responsible and as helpfull as ever, baking things for my family, maintaining good grades, being an extremely helpfull nice person, and i get nothing in return. its just too much. my friends have pretty much forgotten about me, because every time they see me, and ask to hang out, they dont even have to wait for my reply... im grounded. half of them think i'm lying..because who could ever be grounded this much? i am. it hurts so bad to see them all walk off every day to go do what we all used to do together.. since elementary...inseperable..and i see them look back and shake their heads because they know no matter what or when ill be grounded. i miss my life, i need my life, i'm sick all the time now, i have insomnia, i have no appetite (5'6 and im currently as of today 103 punds)... this sounds cliche and retarded but i feel like my parents are working me to death. today for example i begged my mom for hours if i could please. go spend just an hour with my friend tommorow and she screamed, argued, hit me, and told me i wasnt worthy of being allowed to have friend

30 weeks pregnant is it safe to be in contact with chickenpox

Ok, my husband and I are TTC. He swears im pregnant, but I didn't think so, now that he makes comments when I say things, its become more in my head that I actually might be... I am now 12 dpo and we did have sex around the time I would of been ovulating. I am new to this whole thing so my dates aren't exact and my periods on an odd cycle ( some months 28 days, some months 30+) The past week i've been naseous on and off, i have been taking prentals and stopped thinking that was the cause, but now a few days after stopping, I am naseous. I also feel like I have a fever, my eyes feel heavy and my skins hot to touch, yet I do not feel sick in any way or actual feverish. I find myself more tired and can smell everything. I also have had this dull but on and off again pain/sensation in my lower right abdomen, lower and closer to where pubic hair would start...I feel very off and out of it, and tired w/ no energy. I know it sounds like I could be getting the flu but I can tell you thats now how i feel. My boobs dont hurt or have any chance . I took a test Sunday am but think it was too early, im waiting till Sunday ( 35 days) to take another test, but was wondering if you thought these sounded like i could be bc my husband would bet money on it that I am.

I am 28 weeks and 2 days pregnant today and my due date is May 30 2010.

Hi all, ok so I am confused. The info shared here is a bit personal, but I suddenly am struggling with maths! Ok so I read up alot on when the optimal time is for falling pregnant etc. Now according to the books the maths should work as follows: my first day of my last period was 24th December. My period is 3 days long normally and there is an approximate 28 days between months. According to the calculations the baby is due the 30th of September. But unless I am totally doing this wrong, this means that I had to ovulate approx 7-10th Jan. Now this is the issue. My husband is lives away from home and we had a week in december over Christmas together. We had sex on the morning of the 1st of Jan and my husband left to go back to his job on the 3rd. I am going for a scan next week which then should make it 12 weeks, but somehow the timing just doesn't sound correct? The following items are contributing to my question: My morning sickness (which was really really bad, just suddenly stopped last week (glad!) - isn't it supposed to only ease end 12th week or so? And also, sperm can surely not stay in that long (I know that not ovulating does not mean that you are 'immune' but we have not used anything for 3 years, and it just suddenly happens? Dunno sounds a bit silly in writing all of this, but what are the changes of the due date/conception date being off? Hi had a good giggle to one of the answers, sorry I forgot to say that I'm not worried about who the father is at all, one man for me thanks, they are enough to deal with one by one, who in their right mind will want to have two! Nope, I absolutely adore and love my baby's father, I am just a bit of a control freak so my planning is a bit hectic and things I cannot explain freaks me out.... yeah I know I will have to make a few mind shift changes, with a baby on the way, I just have a few funny questions cause we have not planned on having children at all, we are very excited though! Thanks for all the helpfull answers!

I've been trying to concieve for 8 months and have no luck. My period went from 30 days to like 40-43 in September. My last period was December 22nd and I have sex all throughout January, and February but hpts are saying negative. I went to a midwife appointment a week ago and she took a pregnancy test there that also read negative. She pressed down on my uterus with her hand and told me that I didn't feel pregnant either. I'm frustrated, I just wish my period would start already. All she told me was if I didn't get it this month than to make another appointment. What could be the problem? Does this mean that I'm most likely not ovulating since my period hasn't arrived? I asked her and she told me I could still be ovulating and to go back in two weeks to take another pregnancy tests in case I still got pregnant but it was too early to show. Seriously why does it have to be so hard sometimes to get pregnant? I feel like just giving up altogether. Anyone ever experience something like this?

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and for the past couple nights have been woken up by the feeling like I haven't been getting enough oxygen.. As if I was holding my breath. And everytime I would try to lay back down seems like right when I would fall back asleep it would happen again. Last night I woke up at 1:00 and didn't go back to bed until 3:30 because it was so bad and also was scared to fall asleep cause I didn't know if I would stop breathing all together. Since January I've also had heart palpitations... But in the past couple weeks they have been very constant .. Like 8 a minute at night. I don't know if that's associated with my breathing... But I went to the cardiologist last week andhe said it was just pregnancy related...since all my other tests... Echo, EKG, and 24 hr monitor. came back fine... Even though I didn't have any palpitations when I actually went to the doctor. Anyway my breathing during the day isn't a 100% still feel like I need to take several deep breaths... I go to the doctor this afternoon to get checked out.. But I was just wondering if anybody else has felt like this or might know what's going on... Maybe the baby is just hanging out on my lungs.. I don't know..

i missed it about a week ago, didn't realise till the next day so i left it and took the rest as normal, but have not had unprotected sex since Need answers quick!

My husband and I really want kids. We had sex almost everyday last month. We started to get excited when I started feeling different. For the past month I have felt very tired. I want to sleep all day. I have trouble going to sleep at night but can sleep all day with no problem. I feel sick when I first wake up and after every time I eat. My boobs have grown in size. the nipples have changed colors and have gotten bigger. There are a lot of veins around them. And they are very sore. I normally eat lots of fish and chicken. I have been craving ham and red meats and the sight or smell of raw fish makes me vomit in my mouth. Ive had constant headaches and backaches and Im happy then sad then happy then sad. I can go into a room and be freezing and then 30 mintues later my cheeks are bright red because I am burning up. I have felt like my period was going to start (pain in the uterus) for 3 weeks but it feels different almost like I constantly have to pee even if i just went. None of those things have ever happened to me before. I thought for sure that I was pregnant until this morning when I wiped there was a little bit of blood on the tissue but my period is supposed to start in 2 days. Its brownish pink when my normal period is very red. Also my period is very very heavy epecially the first day. When I wipe for the first time on the first day of my period I have lots of clots on the tissue. But today it is very very light. i am really sad because we got so excited. Anyone have any advice on what I should do?

So I have a lot of pressure in my uterus and bowel area that comes and goes. I had sex this morning, and I'm wondering if it is contractions. I had a c-section with my first so I really don't have a clear memory of what a contraction feels like. I thought it was more of a period cramp, not pressure. Thanks.

My sister and my mom never had one and they both have 4 children. I'm 30 and did NOT think I was able to get pregnant (it took a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time but happened naturally); now that I am - I'm in complete SHOCK and just waiting for something bad to happen. Has anyone else experienced these feelings?

Like after 2/3 periods and still had a healthy baby or did it end up in a miscarriage again? Because i had a miscarriage in dec 09 and had 2 normal periods since but i haven't come on my period this time my last period was the 30th jan and i have a 28 day cycle me and my partner haven't been using contraception because we want a baby but didn't want to TRY 2 hard as we thought it would take longer i am now nearly a week late on my period and going to take a test asap but im scared in case i am and i have a miscarriage again! So has this happened to anyone else and they have had a healthy baby? Thanks girls, you have all give me so much hope! :) x

I am 30 weeks pregnant & we had a mice problem and before I knew i was pregnant I cleaned out the pantry when we found lots of droppings, I was not aware that i was pregnant at the time or else i would have not gone near it!! I have spoken to 2 docs since & they reassured me not too worry as i was quite unwell with viruses in the 1st trimester and that they do not worry about mice as they do cats..WELL...that was all ok as we had seemed to get rid of the mice problem as no evidence of droppings etc, UNTIL..3 days ago i went to eat a piece of chocolate we have in a box in the pantry & realized that it had mice marks all over it! and I had consumed some a couple of weeks before..so I may have eaten mice infested chocolate AS WELL, I was feeling a bit under the weather last week, very tired, nauseated & headaches!!, I called my doc yesterday&again he told me not to worry about it but when i look on the net it talks so much about LCMV virus associated with mice that causes severe birth defects!! I had the exterminators out yesterday to fix the problem but i think its too late& worried sick to the point that i cant eat cos i think that I have harmed my baby!! Please,does anyone know of this disease or anyone been in a similar situation?? HELP!!

Me and my husband have been together for 3 years and been married for one. To give a little history, we live with my parents to get help while i finished nursing school since i was pregnant. My son is now 6 months and were getting ready to move out. So... I checks his mail just to look at some Information on a car loan and I keep stumbling upon some emails about meeting up for sex. I blew them off until i continued to see that they were being read and applied. So i go to the sent box and theres about 30 emails about meeting up having having sex with all different women. My heart feel to my feet because i couldn't believe what i was reading. So of course i bring it to his attention right away and he tells me it was because he was not getting it at home!!! We've had sex twice last week so i don't know if that's not enough or what. We don't have sex as much as we used to but its just so much going on on top of living with my parents. I just don't understand what kind of man would risk his wife and his child for sex. I am so heart broken I dont know what to do are where to start. I embarrassed and hurt. Has this every or a similar situation happen to someone if so please share. Thanks

I have noticed that the past couple of days that it feels like my uterus is sore...all of it from top to bottom. I am 36 weeks pregnant and am having preeclampsia problems, but mainly its my kidneys so it might have to do with that...but I have noticed that if I touch my stomach to rub it or feel my baby move its sore to the touch...and recently my lower back has begun to hurt, kind of like a cramping feeling, but that might be due to being a little constipated....I do have braxton hicks contractions but those dont hurt... sometimes though my uterus does tighten up and its painful but I thought that was the way my baby was laying....but the tightness lasts a good 30 seconds or so...it doesnt happen every time my uterus tightens up just once in a while...maybe up to 3 times a day if that.... Is this normal or is it maybe signs of labor or something else maybe? Im going to call my doctor tomorrow but I wanted to know if any other women has been through this and what it turned out to be.... Thanks!!

I am about 30 weeks pregnant and last Thursday I fell almost on top of my stomach on asphalt while I was speed walking toward my daughter's school bus. I went to the ER where I was monitored for around 5 hours. I had contractions every 3-4 minutes for the first 2 1/2 hours, but they did finally space back out again. The Nurse Practicioner said it was normal to have contractions like that for a while after trauma like that. My ultrasound didn't show anything out of the ordinary. But my contractions, although not at regular intervals, have gotten stronger. Sometimes they come every 2-5 minutes, but it only happens for about 30 minutes to an hour. I haven't lost any fluids and don't have any discharge I shouldn't.Does this sound normal given the circumstances? I also have a doctor's appointment scheduled for Thursday already.

Tonight about 30 minutes after I ate dinner I felt REALLY really full. I didn't stuff myself either. After a couple hours I still hadn't digested the food and was starting to feel really sick. It felt like my food was sitting at the top of my stomach and I was going to throw it up any second. I wasn't nauseous or anything, just extremely full and it would not go down. Is that normal? I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I've never had that happen before...it kind of scared me. I ended up forcing myself to throw up because it just wouldn't go down on it's own. I didn't eat more than I normally do? Is this something I should tell my doctor about or could it be some kind of weird blockage or is it one more lovely pregnancy symptom I get to endure?

She and I have been best friends forever, we're 27, our moms were friends before they got pregnant with us. We haven't always been close and we usually don't confide in each other and she's a very self-centered person and I'm the shy one. About 6 weeks ago, we had a "fight"...I was on my way to her house, 30-45 min drive. I was 10 mins away and she texted me to cancel, saying she was going to see her friend who was sick, who lives farther away than I do. I was a little upset and I texted back that I have been depressed for 3 years (which is true) and she hasn't once reached out to me, but this person has the flu and they get flowers and a visit from her. The depression has affected me physically and mentally, I've lost a lot of weight and I'm just sad, we've hung out enough for her to notice the physical changes and she tried to say that she hadn't noticed and that I had never told her. Since this happened, she still hasn't called or tried to reach out to me. Am I wrong for still being upset over this or am I just crazy? (P.S. I'm already dealing with the depression part) I want an outsider's opinion.

Hi. I am 30 weeks pregnant this week. I have a doctor appointment next week so ill then be 31 weeks. I was wondering when does the doctor start having me come in every 2 weeks instead of four? thanks for your answers! im not from the UK... so US answers would be grand.

It started separating when I was 30 weeks pregnant, and my doctor said that this was normal. I have never felt so much pelvic pain in my life! I can't barely walk, or turn over without it feeling like it is ripping apart! It has also started grinding together when i walk and popping. It's excruciating pain and my doctor see's no sign for concern! Every woman i have talked to about this has said that yes it does hurt but not nearly as much as I have been hurting. I was wondering if there could be more than just my pelvic bone separating? Who else has experienced this much pain with it? How long before the pain will go away? And is it possible to break your pelvic bone during child birth? Do you think my doctor should be more concerned then what he is? Thanks so much in advance!

I am 37 weeks pregnant and have a 2 and half year old.. He has been a very very good sleeper since the day he was born. But this last month or so he wont sleep for nothing. He has never had a problem going to sleep or sleeping in his own bed because I have always put him in his own bed and made him put himself to sleep. Now all of the sudden he want to wake up every hour and climb into bed with mom and dad. He takes one nap during the day and has no problem with sleeping then. I have tried everything I know, feeding him at 7 30 (his bedtime is 8) then giving him a warm bath, putting a radio in his room, sleeping with a stuffed animal.. I've tried everything! I need sleep before the new baby is born! Please help. Any suggestions would be nice. I think my two year old is trying to prepare me for the new baby but I need some sleep. He is very very active. The only time he is not up running around and into things is when he is asleep. He is very much tired at the end of the day, but he just wont sleep.

and this was about a week after my period. what are the chances of becoming pregnant? i thought not high since he snorted before, and i had urinated right after. um no sarcasm please. this is very serious smart a$$. and tell me when i said it was?

My (now ex) does not want a child and decided to go his own way, so I'll be a single mom. I have a very supportive family and friends so I know I will be okay but it doesn't help the depressed feelings I have had. Since I found out I was pregnant, 2 weeks ago, I have been eating like a crazy woman and smoking cigarettes, too. I know 100% it's stress because I am a very healthy eater. I decided this weekend so throw the cigarettes away and today I am going to start eating healthy again. I also stopped exercising and walking my dog completely the last 2 weeks. I really see the changes it's made in such a short time on my body and now I feel like a fat, ugly pig. I just cannot for the life of me find the energy to get my butt off the couch once I get home. I'm too depressed and too tired to exercise (even though I know it will make me feel better). I work in the financial industry and get to work at 6am. My morning sickness (nausea mostly) starts in the morning through the afternoon and as soon as it stops, fatigue hits in BAD. I cannot seem to keep my eyes open the last hour of work and as soon as I get home, all I want to do is take a bath, watch a little T.V. and go to bed early. I'm talking, 6pm. I have always had an extreme amount of energy but now.... NOTHING. All I want is to be normal and feel normal. I don't even feel excited yet about having a baby (even though I know I will be a terrific mother and I am looking forward to having a baby). So like I said, I'm 9 weeks. There is no turning back. But I want to do it right from here on out. I don't want to get heavy and unhealthy. I have bought all the fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, etc. that I was eating plenty of before I found out I was pregnant so I know it's a step in the right direction but how to I take the first few steps? How do I force some energy upon myself?

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and I work a full time retail floor position. I am on my feet on a concrete floor 8 hours a day pulling tanks of merchandise around all morning and bending over, standing up and climbing stools straightening shelves all afternoon. Sometimes I stand at a cash register for hours at a time and the last 2 times I have passed out while checking out customers. My back hurts so bad most days that I dont even work whole shifts anymore and my paychecks suck now anyway. What makes the job even harder on me is that I have 3 bosses, 2 of which are men and have NO idea what its like to actually be pregnant. One of them is a complete jerk, hes always making fun of me and telling me that Im over-reacting because his wife never experienced the things I am when she was pregnant. His wife didnt even work one freaking day when she was pregnant! Im tired of his verbal abuse and jokes at my expense. Ive complained to my store manager about him and she makes excuses and says hes just misunderstood. Today at work was the worst experience Ive had at work so far: I got really hot, really dizzy, felt like I was going to puke, barely made it to the ladies room to puke, then I had this really sharp pain in my sides and tons of pressure in my lower back then when that led up about a minute later I threw up again :( Doc told me to go home but Im afraid to go to work tomorrow morning.. I dont know what to do!!! I am not willing to put myself or my little man in jeopardy!!

It's probably too early to worry about this, since I'm 31 weeks pregnant, but I'm thinking about how to continue breastfeeding when I return to work. I'll be able to stay home with my first baby for 14 weeks (that's if she arrives on her due date - I'll be with her a little longer if she's early and a little less if she's late, since I'm returning to work part-time on August 20th regardless.) I'll be gone from the house from about 8:30 to 12:30 each day (that includes drive time to and from; I live really really close) -- she'll need to take a bottle sometime in there probably, right? When should I buy a pump? And how should I start pumping if I've been demand feeding up til that point? Should I get her to take the bottle (hopefully with breastmilk in it) prior to me going back to work so that she's used to it? Should I just pump the previous day so that she'll have a bottle for the morning when I'm gone?
