My husband is from Illinois but we live in Oklahoma with my family. He wants to spend about 4 days in Illinois with his family and friends for thanksgiving. But I will be 34 weeks pregnant. The drive is about 8-9 hours. Is it safe to stay away for four days like that? I'm gonna ask my doctor next week at my appointment but I was just wondering your opinions. I want to go. He hasn't seen them since I got pregnant. Anyway thanks.

I'm in a safe place for the first time in a long time but I am sad because I married a man only because I got pregnant. I had tried a relationship with him for a year because he was very attentive but when I couldn't force myself to love him I moved out. I found out I was pregnant two weeks later and I still hadn't found work. I was bed ridden sick with morning sickness and he took care of me and got me on insurance. Now I'm 11 weeks along and realizing that I can't make myself love him no

I'm 34 and been on the pill for 20 years. I messed them up somehow trying to pack for travel to meet my boyfriend in CA. (I was trying to down size due to flying and packing regulations. I didn't want to take the whole pack.) I think I missed a few pills before I went but I took them the whole time I was there. I'm assuming my period was probably messed up b/c of this. About 10 days after I was in CA (and still taking my pill) I started spotting about a week before my period was due. This happ

First off, let me tell you about myself :) I am 16, about to be 17. I'm 8 months pregnant, I live with my dad & his wife. I have already graduated HS & the day I got my diploma I was pretty much already accepted into college due to my "outstanding academic achievements." I'm "the good girl" in your class.I have a hard time with rules. That's kinda why I'm pregnant, and now that I am, my dad doesn't care too much. I just have to stay safe, stay sane, and I can't sleepover at my boyfriend's hous

My in-laws are pressuring my husband to have us meet them in Tennessee, they will be there visiting family. It will be atleast a 6-7 hour drive, and I will be 34 weeks pregnant. I am 30 weeks right now and the baby is doing great even though I am high risk. His head is down and I have been getting shooting pains and it is getting harder to walk since I am petite and he is large for week 30. This is my first pregnancy, so I am nervous to travel so far and stay a couple days in the middle of

Alright; I am 34 weeks pregnant...will be 35 Thursday. There is a possibility I will be traveling in a car for 7 hours Saturday. I went to the dr today and he cleared me to go because I have had no complications and I am right at the cut off date for traveling. all he said was I need to get out every few hours and walk around for a little bit. What do you think? I will be going with my mother-in-law to take my step daughter to see my hubby. He works out of town.

I haven't been the best god-father, and my wife has kept me from seeing my god-daughter and her family on quite a few occasions. They are devout catholic and as god-father, i am supposed to be there. My wife freaked out cause she doesn't want me to leave, understandably, but i will also only be gone for 24 hours total. Am i wrong to want to go? My wife is totally stable and there's no indication that she will go into labor anytime soon.

I am 34 and half weeks pregnant and since last night had headspins and now got the shakes like I am cold but I'm not. I am not visibly swallen but when I bend my toes I feel puffy. I also feel very lightheaded. I seen a doc this afternoon and I have normal blood pressure and normal blood sugar levels. Anyone had this? Could my blood pressure be travelling up and down?

Hi!! I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with my first! I was planning on traveling with my BF Easter weekend to visit his family. They live 4.5 hours from us. I mentioned this to my Dr. at my last appointment and she said it was fine to travel but to "take my records just in case" I have another appoinment next week (so before the trip) & I plan on asking again just to make sure. We will be driving. We go on this trip once a month so I know what it likes to sit in the car ( we stop frequently!)

I have trouble sleeping like I guess every women who is 34 weeks pregnant, but my husband and I need to travel separately the next couple weeks so we won't see each other for 4 weeks. The problem is I can't fall asleep without him and since falling asleep is hard anyway because of the pregnancy I was wondering if Tylenol pm is okay to take.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and last night mine and my whole families stomach was aching. We had gas with it. Anyways I was laying in bed and the top of stomach got super tight, then I felt the pain travel down to both sides of my lower stomach and pressure in my anus. It hurt really bad and it happened about every 8 minutes four, to five times. I then decided to pass out so I wouldn't have to deal with the pain anymore. Nothing woke me up in the middle of the night or anything, so I'm not su

My husband and I are planning a trip to France (from Wiltshire, England) on the Eurostar to visit my hubby's family and take our 4 year old daughter to Disney Land/ Parc Asterix... the only issue is, I'm 34 weeks pregnant as of today. We'll be leaving later this week (Thursday) but I'm a little edgy. Is it safe to travel at nearly 35 weeks? We'll be coming back a week later. When I was pregnant with our little girl I didn't travel very far at all past the 28 week mark. Have you guys ever trav

I am asking because my dad and step mother are buy the car seat/travel system and I am having hubby go to the fire dept to get it installed properly. My step mom is yet to purchase it (after she said she was buying it 2 months ago then said she was going to wait for more coupons) At what point in this pregnancy should I ask her about it? I do not want to be rude by bringing it up but I am almost 34 weeks pregnant and starting to get a little nervous that we don't have it yet.

this is about a friend...it happened to her 2 times!!! she was 36 weeks 1 day for the first one, and was 34 weeks and 6 days with her second baby. she was sitting around her home(with her first pregnancy) not doing anything to strenuous, and started feeling these sharp tightening pains in her lower abdomen, and felt kinda sick, then about 10minutes later, was having sharp pains in her cervix, so she decided to go to the ER to get checked out, they sent her to the OB floor and monitered her for

I'm 31 yrs old currently 34 wks pregnant with my 2nd (a girl). I've been going thru SO MUCH stress, drama, emotional pain etc. for the past few months. Her father (age 39) is angry bc I chose to cont. the pregnancy so he's refused to talk to me or help buy any of her things. I guess he plan on communicating when she arrives. His friend & my sis (2 middle-men) are discreetly seeing each other and the father/ friend are really close. My sister & I used to be close also (at least I thought) but

Here it is. I am 33wks and 4 days pregnant, I have just been discharged from hospital today (after spending 5 nights in) as I have had complications from an abdominoplasty, it caused me to have uterine irritability. I was having contractions, but my cervix is still closed, 3cm in length and high. Today, I experienced a bowel clear out! (the politest way to put it!) and lost my mucus plug, (part of.) I have not been experiencing anymore contractions, but have back ache still, ( my OBGYN knew t

I am 34+3days pregnant and for the past month or so i have been experiencing some weird and painful things. I was wondering if anyone who is pregnant is having the same or similiar symptoms and if they know what they are? So it all started with just some light cramping, but now it has prgressed to regular sometimes quite strong cramping like my period is about to start. I get sharp shootin pains in my vagina like the baby is trying to pop a hand or finger out or trying to break my waters, that

I asked them why they didn't come and they said that they were going to throw one that is just there side of the family in 4 weeks.

Or should I just stay home this 4th of July? Oh and we would also be staying the night over there too. I know I should ask my doctor and I will but I just curious as to what you would do or have done.

I have an opportunity to take a trip to Hawaii, all expenses paid. The flight is about 6 1/2 hours long and I would be flying out at 31 weeks and back at 32 weeks. My doctor gave me the go ahead and wrote me a letter saying I'm fit to travel until 34 weeks but she cautioned me that if I go into preterm labor I could be stuck in Hawaii. What would you do?

Ok so my wife would be 28 weeks pregnant by travel time. We will be going on a long trip that totals 10 hours flight time plus layovers. This would be our second child. Our first was pre-term (34 weeks). With our first we were supposed to go on a short family trip but the doctor said not to which ended up being good advice because she delivered before the scheduled trip anyway. Now with this second one even if the trip is earlier in her pregnancy, the trip is a lot longer, out of our country,

This is my first baby. My husband and I are season ticket holders for Auburn Football, and the home games are about a couple hours by car from where we live. I will be 34 weeks pregnant come the first game.. is it possible that I will be able to attend any of the games this year? I know I won't be able to make the ones near my due date, but as I've never been pregnant, I didn't know if it was reasonable to think I might make the first couple of games... At 34 or 35 weeks pregnant, do you r

My husband is going to be deployed when our 2nd child is due. I am so beyond devastated and upset. We have an 18 month old daughter and I have no friends where I live. When I go into labor, I am going to be ALL alone, no friends, no family, no husband, and I'll have to figure out how to care for my daughter. Since we live overseas, my family can not make it and me being 34 weeks pregnant I'm too big for travel. If it were you, would you elect for a home birth with a midwife/doula, or go

The pain doesn't travel to my back, or come and go. It's just extremely tight, feels difficult to breathe at times.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and trying to buy everything I am missing these last few weeks. I bought a bouncer for my lil one, and I am debating in if I should get a swing too. Many say it's a lifesaver, but is it really? My living room is not that big and I don't think I can fit a bouncer AND a full sized swing in there! I can put the swing in the nursery but I will stay in the living room more often, that's why I don't think I will use it as much. Or will I? I looked at a couple swings online and

I am 22 and my husband is 23 and we have been married for 6 months. We found out that were are 4 weeks pregnant. Were Thrilled! But I am worried about my parents reaction. I was told at Christmas by my parents and family. "I hope you two don't plan on kids any time soon, neither of you are ready" I was also told "Travel, be married for a while" My Dad says " I think you will be ready in 3 years to have kids". Now what? I know that what to be grandparents, they were just hoping that the First

Ok so I am 34 weeks pregnant and work full-time as a nanny to a little girl who is just about 3 months old. Every day I drive her to her moms office around lunch time to breastfeed. We live in Portland, OR so its cold, and often quite rainy. I am only paid $700/month to watch their child full-time, the trade off is that when my son is born, he will (theoretically) be going with me to work and I will care for both infants. In the meantime though, I've just been caring for their child solo, sinc

So, I've had a pretty picture perfect pregnancy so far. My In-Laws have decided to pay for a flight to Florida for my husband and I before the baby comes, which is really nice. The only thing is that I'll be 32 weeks pregnant at the time I'll be traveling. (We can't go any sooner). My doctor said that I can travel up until 34 weeks. Am I cutting it too close by flying at 32 weeks or should I be fine? Would you go that late or have you traveled that late in your pregnancy?

I may be asking the impossible, but... I'm 34 weeks pregnant and we have to travel 8 hours north tomorrow in the Canadian winter! Yay! The reason we have to do that is my sister in law is throwing my husband and I a baby shower. She has gone through a LOT of effort to do this and we don't see her very often so I wanted to do something special for her. I would like to make her cupcakes today just like her grandma used to make. The whole family loves these cupcakes and it would be an awesome s

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone is or have experience leg cramps during pregnancy. I am 34 weeks pregnant and thursday morning I woke to a big charlie horse in my leg. It was terrible I cried my eyes out. I could actually see it getting tight then loosin back up. I still can feel the charlie horse and cramps in my left leg and it is swollen to my foot and red.

This thanksgiving I'll be 34 weeks pregnant and bf's mother wants us to come down for thanksgiving. We live in Raleigh, and she lives in Florida. I can't be with my family this holiday because they will be away, so it would end up just being me and him. It's about a 10 hour drive to their house and I am wondering if it would be a good idea for me to make this trip. I have a doctor's appointment next week so I will be asking the doctor too, but I was wondering if anyone had any experiences trav

I am 34 weeks pregnant with twins. I went for my routine check up and I had a BP reading of 138/101. This is the 2nd time I am having a high BP reading throughout my pregnancy. And on both instances, I traveled to the clinic by bus and so my BP shot up. The funny part is, before leaving home, my BP reading was 122/75. My gyn freaked me out saying that it's very dangerous and I have to be admitted in the hospital. He also told me that my babies' heartbeats will stop!!! Anyway, I took the BP ta

My hubby, 2 year old and I have just been invited at the last minute to go visit hubby's family 6 hours away! I've already turned down my own parents invite to go up north only 3 hours away because I don't really want to be away from home at 34 weeks pregnant. It's getting quite difficult to breath and sleep. I'm up so much peeing at night and for some reason I have diarrhea almost every morning. : ( No one on my hubby's side of family (except his parents that live 2 mins away) have met our 2

I got pregnant very early on in my relationship with my boyfriend and am now 9 1/2 weeks along. My family has met my boyfriend (I haven't told them I'm expecting yet), but I have yet to meet his parents. I'm already beginning to show so I'm not going to be able to hide it much longer. I'm just trying to figure out how we're supposed to go about this. Should I just meet them and let them think I'm overweight? Should he tell them over the phone before I meet them? Or should we just lay it all
