Open Question: I have a problem, can anyone help me out?
(Fri, 03 Sep 2010 02:40:15 GMT)
I am pregnant and my doctor says that I can not have intercourse.
The doctors don't want me to, because I have already gone into pre-term labor at 33 weeks, I am now 34 and 1/2 weeks, and the doctor I saw Monday said that if I make it to 35 weeks and I go in to labor they will let it happen.
I was wondering if there was any way to "please" my husband and myself, other then oral. The doctors say that I can not have anything "inside" so what can I do?

Resolved Question: Should the baby blanket fit the mattress?

This may sound like a silly question, but I'm a new mom-to-be (34 weeks pregnant with a girl), and I'm trying to get my baby's room ready. We got this really cute crib bedding set, but the blanket that came in it is waaaaay shorter than the mattress. The fitted sheet in the set was perfect, so I'm guessing the blanket is supposed to be shorter. I know that they don't actually sleep with the blanket, but how are you supposed to make it look nice in the crib while the baby's not using it? Is the

Open Question: 36 Weeks Pregnant and Low Aminiotic Fluid?
(Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:46:33 GMT)
Hello Everyone!
At my 32 weeks doctor's appointment I measured at 31 weeks. So my doctor sent me to get a sonogram to make sure the baby was developing ok and everything was good. I went to get my sonogram at 34 weeks and the sono lady saw that my amnionitic fluid was low. It was at 5.8 so needless to say I've been getting a sonogram every week or even twice a week. I was able to get my fluid back up last week to 13.9 but it went back down on monday to 7.8.

Open Question: Have you been in the hospital for premature labor?

I'm 26weeks and 3days pregnant. A couple nights ago I went to the hospital because I had been having contractions all day and they started getting closer together. My doctor said I was 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced, but that the baby and I were both fine. We're still here, I've been in bed most of the time. The nurse let me walk around a little, like to the coffee bar, but then it's right back to bed.

Resolved Question: Do you think my baby's head is down?
(Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:32:46 GMT)
I'm 34-35 weeks pregnant, before this I think my baby use to be in a side way position...because my right side will have a huge bump (which looks like a head) and I will feel plenty of kicks on my left side. Then on Sunday, I went to the grocery store and had this pain...(hurtful! Hurts more than Braxton Hicks Contraction!) came back home and 30 minutes later I was fine again. However for these couple of days my stomach looks more like a rounded egg or like a nice football, no more uneven bump

I am 34 weeks pregnant now. I had this a couple of days back at night and have been feeling that way also since morning today. I feel discomfort in the pelvic area and slight pain in the legs, pretty much 'Exactly' like what I used to have just before my periods.

Open Question: Can't sleep/nap, have toddler and am 34 weeks pregnant-?
(Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:49:30 GMT)
I feel like a zombie. I hurt all the time (hips, back, neck, head) and I have over a month- maybe more to go.
We are moving soon. I have tried to take it easy, but I feel exhausted from all the packing and we have yet to move into the new place yet. The thought of trying to unpack and set up a nursery is just overwhelming for me.
Any suggestions?
No family to watch the toddler- little money for babysitter so she's with me pretty much 24/7.
