Open Question: Do you think I handled this issue appropriately?
(Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:30:31 GMT)
I'm 38 weeks pregnant with a little boy, my boyfriend of 2 in a half years asks me to marry him. I decline because I know he's only asking me because I'm pregnant with his child. We both love each other but we're still pretty young, 22. Now he won't talk to me this happened at 20 weeks after we found out we were having a boy. I told him that night that I loved him and would love to get married to him in the future, but I felt like we owed it to each other to make sure we were in it for the long halt. I don't know what to do, I've been trying to talk to him for the longest time and his parents have even got involved and he still won't budge.
Help?

Open Question: 38 weeks pregnant, is this labor?
(Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:35:44 GMT)
Earlier I had alot of lower back pain, but now its pretty much gone from my back, but in my lower tummy. Its like period crams but harder. The pains dont stay, they come and go. And pain in my vagina when i bend over. Could this possibly be labor? or just something?
Also, i know i should go to a hospital but i want to stay home as long as possible :)
And the pains are in my hips too, is that normal?

Open Question: Pregnant and in pain when going #2...?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:59:46 GMT)
TMI disclaimer: this question is about poo and the act of poo-ing.
Hi,
I'm 38 weeks pregnant and for the last week or two, whenever I have to go poo, the muscles "back there" cramp up when I try to push even a little. It feels like a charlie-horse in my rectum.....no fun at all.
To be clear, these are not contractions and I'm not constipated. Have any other preggos had this problem? Do you know of any solutions? It really hurts!

Open Question: has any women been tested positive for GBS during pregnancy?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:04:54 GMT)
im 38 weeks pregnant and my doctor tested me for GBS and she told me I am a carrier of GBS (group B strep) it doesn't hurt me (women don't even know they have it) but it harms the baby and that I would have to be treated with penicillin during labor. I looked online for info on it and I am terrified I was wondering if any mothers were tested positive for this virus during their pregnancy and if your baby had any issues after birth.

Resolved Question: What is the popping sound?
(Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:36:05 GMT)
I'm 38 weeks pregnant and every once in a while I can hear and feel a popping in my lower abdomen/hips. It just sounds like a quick pop and then it goes away. Sometimes it's when the baby moves, sometimes it's just random. Last time I asked my doctor he said he didn't even know. ( I know great doctor huh?) Has anyone else had this weird pop?

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: Heartburn in pregnancy?? Papaya Enzymes?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:17:52 GMT)
I am 38 weeks pregnant, and I have had really bad heartburn throughout my entire pregnancy.
I was just eating tums whenever I had heartburn, and that was doing the trick for me, but at my last midwife appointment my midwife told me that I should stop eating tums. She said that I will end up getting calcium deposits on my placenta.
She suggested that I take papaya enzymes from a health food store.
I bought some yesterday, but it only says on the bottle to chew one after each meal to help digestion.
I was wondering how many I should eat to prevent heartburn, but can't seem to find any of that info anywhere on the net.
SO has anybody here taken papaya enzymes for heartburn during pregnancy??
If so, how often and how many did you eat, and did it work well for you?? Thanks!!

Open Question: 38 weeks pregnant I seen two traces of bright red blood in mucus within one day?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:20:17 GMT)
I just went to the doctor and my cervix was closed but since the pelvic check I had bright red blood mixed with mucus when I wiped 2 times in one day. Does this mean I should go to emergency or just wait until the water breaks? Please no links just real life experiences.

Open Question: Is this pregnancy-related? What can I do?
(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:12:43 GMT)
I am almost 38 weeks pregnant.
My boyfriend thinks I'm not attracted to him because when we start fooling around, my body doesn't physically react until after we've started doing things... He thinks it's just the act of sexuality that turns me on, not him... but i know thats not true, i know it's him because I'll feel in the mood before we do anything... why doesn't my body react as quickly as my heart and mind? What can I do to change the fact that nothing physically happens to me right away? He says I can lie about my feelings but my body can't lie. Sometimes it's hard for me to get into the mood, but that has nothing to do with him, it's because I'm in my third trimester and I'd rather just relax and cuddle.

(Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:07:37 GMT)
I think I lost my mucus plug a couple weeks ago for a couple days I had a whole lot of nasty white mucus coming out. The next week it was brown and came out for two days ( i don't know what that was). I am supposed to be induced in a couple days but these last two days I feel very crampy and sick. Well my question after I had those mucusy episodes my discharge went back to watery but this morning I woke up with clumps of discharge or mucus coming out of me and a lot of it what is this my mucus plug too? I am also 2 and a half centimeters dilated.

Open Question: What is this family to do ?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:20:41 GMT)
My husbands brother (which is my brother in law) has a girlfriend - they have been together for about 9 years, they have 2 girls and now she is pregnant (38 weeks) with a baby boy. Well, she admitted to cheating on her man right around the time she got pregnant. My brother in law is hoping that this baby is his. However, my brother in laws sisters do not like this girl at all for cheating and the pregnancy and all because they don't believe its his baby. This girl brainwashed him in thinking that this baby is his but they don't want to do a paternity test. This has caused alot of problems because he doesn't really spend time with his sisters anymore nor his own parents because of his girlfriends situation. I feel sorry for him but I feel that she's making him choose sides. Is there anything that my brother-in-laws sister's can tell him or my mother in law can tell him or talk to him to get him to open his eyes ???!!!!

Resolved Question: 38 weeks pregnant yesterday cervix was closed today bright red trace of blood mixed with mucus?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:50:08 GMT)
The doc gave me a pelvic and said my cervix was still closed but I seen a trace of bright red blood with mucus could this be a bloody show or blood from the pelvic exam? Does this mean I could go in labor within 24 hours?

Open Question: Is this a bloody show or something else?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:23:04 GMT)
I am 38 weeks 6 days pregnant, and this morning I woke up to blood in my panties. I called the hospital to see if I should go in, but the nurse said it may just be my mucous plug and to wait until I start having bad contractions. I thought the bloody show was supposed to be a mucous, but mine is just like watered down blood. There's not stringiness or any substance to it at all, just watery blood. It was a lot at first, and now it is still coming but not in as much quantity. I am having contractions, and they are getting stronger, but I am also having cramps in between. The baby is still moving, but I am very worried. Could the blood mean something bad is going on? Or is it really just the bloody show everyone talks about, even if there is no mucous?

Resolved Question: who else would like to share their story of loss?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:59:43 GMT)
Well my story starts of as a school girl, like any other teen (Me at the time) 14 years old and full of pride i had my first real boy friend and i loved him sooooo much, Oh and of course i thought i was invincible i wanted to marry him and would do anything for him i even slept with him.
I have to add this bit (my mum if that's what you could call her was okay with anything i done hey she's the first person to offer me marijuana and yes i accepted i had such a great role model, My father was not around)
Anyway getting back to it, I was starting to have a lot of days off school i was real sick my mother asked me "when was your last period" i shrugged it off and said "Last month" My mother said "maybe you should got to the doctors", I didn't know what she meant i was just sick.
I was at a friends I told her about what my mum said her response maybe your pregnant, I was dazed i said "I ain't having no baby".
I did decided to go to the youth clinic and my friend came with me the doctor their confirmed i was indeed pregnant i said the same thing i said to my friend i ain't having no baby i want an abortion, So the doctor wanted a ultrasound, Had a ultrasound that day the tech asked if i wanted to know the sex i was like no i'm having a abortion, she walked out of the room and a doctor came in and talked to me about i was to far to have a abortion and there was other options i discovered i was 23 weeks pregnant and i was having a baby boy .
I was stunned i didn't know what to do, I had to tell my mum As i walked in the front door i walked up to my mums bedroom where she was i sat on the bed and said "I went to the health clinic" my mum said "Oh yeah" I said "I'm pregnant" she took a deep breath in and told me about the option told me not to interrupt after she gave me the options number one been abortion, number two been adoption and three been keep the baby and she would be there for me.
I said to her "I can't have a abortion i'm to far i'm having a boy".
I am surprised that my mother did take the news pretty good.
I had a healthy pregnancy and Morning sickness like no other i also turned 15, and then at 36 weeks and after a 36 hour labour i gave birth to my Beautiful baby boy weight 7 pound 9 oz and 46 cm long, i was amazed he was the best thing that ever happened to me (Oh and the father was to young apparently to be a father).
after spend 8 days in hospital and then i took home my baby, My mum helped out a lot and she was so proud her first grandchild.
Then 4 weeks after i had him i was aroused to discover he was not breathing i'm not going to go in to detail about exactly what happened but the ambos confirmed it.
i got a letter in the mail from the coroner and the findings said nothing and death was pronounced as sudden infant death syndrome it broke my heart into a million bits and part of me died that day.
I now realise it's hard enough to have a baby at 15 but then i had to bury my baby, It's the hardest thing i have ever in my life had to do.
I had another baby at 38 weeks 8 pound 9 oz 55cm long i was 17, a little under a week until i turned 18, She was gorges and i was shit scared. (I started dating her father not long after my 1st baby left me)
I then discovered i was pregnant with my third baby when i was 19, I had some trouble while i was pregnant my 3rd baby the umbilical cord was deformed and they where amazed that i made it to 41 weeks and said that usually the baby would have not survived past 12 weeks in the womb I gave birth to her she was so little and amazing 6 pound 2oz 45 cm long, soon after giving birth i had major hemorrhaging and need and D&C and blood transfusion, when i did get out of hospital i got really sick and had to be re-admitted i had septicemia and could feed my baby until i was better.
(In the mean time me and my girls dad split it was the best choice he badly abused me while i was pregnant with our second baby).
when my youngest daughter was 6 months old i met a man he was an amazing friend (I'm now married to him he is the best man in the world and i'm so happy i found him he brought 3 baby's of his own and we made us a family he has all boys they are great kids and my girls love their step brothers as if they where their own blood and flesh brothers, year of births 1999, 2001, 2003)
When my youngest (at the time was 18 months old i discovered i was pregnant my pregnancy was a Breeze and at 40 weeks i gave birth to a wonderful baby boy 8pound 2oz 49 cm long.
Last year in june i discovered i was pregnant i was amazed (I wanted another boy) but tragedy struck and at 16wks + 5 days i had a miscarriage, The baby i miscarried was perfectly formed it was a little boy, I am heart broken and words can't describe what this has done to me, If i could give my life for both my angels i would do anything, I would spend the rest of eternity in hell just to know my baby's are safe and well.
right now i take every month as it comes in hope i can have anothe
sorry story got lost I

I will be 38 weeks tomorrow but for hte last hour i have been having what feels like very subtle contractions roughly every ten minutes.

Open Question: unhealthy living conditions and we just moved in?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:45:30 GMT)
I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and have gestational diabetes. We just moved into this condo and at first we loved it. That was until we started to unpack and notice things since there wasn't electricity when we first moved in. First off, the appliances are pretty much antique including the mini stacked washer and dryer. Second off, the bathrooms were filthy with black stuff in one toilet and yellow stuff on the floor in the other bathroom, assuming its dried up pee. Third off, low water pressure in the sinks and toilets. Fourth off, a kitchen infested with mold. It took us about a week of complaining before we got anywhere. They ended up replacing the faucets fixing that problem and now we're working on the mold problem. Since there is mold in the kitchen, its been off limits and we've been having to eat out everyday which is totally unhealthy for me. Shouldn't we be getting a discount off of our rent or something? Maybe a reimbursement of all the food that we had to buy eating out because of non access to the kitchen? I'm glad they're finally doing something about the mold, but all this is making me be unhealthy and this is definitely not healthy living conditions so we should get something back for them being so stupid to letting us move in.

Hi everyone, Now iv just hit 39 weeks pregnant with my second child and i have been soooo lucky because i havnt got any stretch marks from this baby and my previous baby.

My body type is slim and my babys pop out on me like a basketball.

Open Question: Can it take a year or more to conceive after Mirena removal?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:10:34 GMT)
I had my Mirena inserted 6 weeks after I had my son and that was 3 1/2 years ago. While on the Mirena, I loved it (I didn't have a period or have to worry about it). I had it removed in March 2009 and wanted to try to conceive. My periods returned to normal usually in between 27 days and 31 days. For the past couple of months my periods have been irregular. One cycle it was 48 days, then 41 days, and now 38 days. I am just really worried that I have not become pregnant after 1 year of trying. I want to hear of anyone elses experiences with the Mirena and could this possibly cause infertility. My husband and I are both healthy and young (21 and 22).

Open Question: Too much stress for pregnant lady!need sum words of encouragement.. oh and a question. Kinda long but plz read?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:45:45 GMT)
Hello to all mummies and mummies to be. I need to vent a little bit and i also have a question. Here goes. I am 38 weeks pregnant, and i found out during my first trimester that the guy i was with cheated on me and got his ex-girl/ baby mama pregnant too. (we were only apart by like 2-3 weeks). Anyways so pretty much my whole pregnancy had sucked sh*t. o btw, the other girl got to enjoy her pregnancy because she didnt kno. he jus told he 2 days ago. So now that im nearing the birth of my baby, i have been thinking "finally, its almost over and i get to see my precious little one"....i couldnt be happier. so as if i havnt been thru enough in the past 9 months, yesterday he tells me that his mom told him she doesnt think my baby is his. Mind you this guy got me pregnant on purpose, afte ri told him i wasnt ready for a child. so why is his mom saying this? becuz i havnt gone over to the house since i have been pregnant. she's pretty much in love with his ex and will do anything to get them back together. but i dont even want to be with this guy. she has never shown ANY interest about me or her grandchild. so i asked him how what she says makes him feel, and this a**hole tells me that even though he knows the baby is his, he can't help but have sum doubts.... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! So i told him when the baby is born we will do a paternity test becuz i have absolutely to hide. How is it that HE cheats on me, and i'm the one having to deal with the consequences.. so my question is, after i have the baby, can they do a paternity test right at the hospital? or do i have to go to a clinic to do that? because i want to get that done ASAP! thnx in advance everybody

(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:55:33 GMT)
hi all, i am 38.4 weeks pregnant and had bloods taken at my 36 week check. my iron level was 9.5... i have been taking 200mg 3 times a day for about a week. i want to deliver in a midwife led unit but have been told they need to be back up to 10 or i will have to go to consultant led unit. supposing i deliver in approx 2 weeks, does anyone know if this is enough time for my levels to go up? since its just a small amount? has anybody had this happen to them and did their levels go back up quickly? midwife just said id 'probably' be ok... thanks

Voting Question: 37 weeks pregnant and i have.....(please no rude remarks)?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:36:49 GMT)
im 37 weeks pregnant(38 on sunday) and in October 2008 I was told that i have HPV. but when i found out i was 20 years old and the doctor told me that they wouldnt be able to do some type of "test" that consists of them taking a piece of my cervix and then test it until i turned 21. well once i turned 21 i found out that i was pregnant and it really hasnt seemed to cross my mind until now, but i know that HPV is pretty much an std, and now im scared that when i give birth will it be possible to pass HPV on to my baby? i have a doctor appt on tuesday so i plan on asking then, but i want to be able to calm my nerves for the time being. so... HPV, can i pass it on to my baby from vaginal birth??

Voting Question: Minimum Wage for 27 year old?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:20:52 GMT)
I currently work in NSW doing both secretarial and sales roles. i am currently getting paid a fixed amount for the secretarial role of 560 p/w for a 38 hr week and no commissions for sales.
my employer is amalgamating my original job of sales with the secretarial job.
For the next two months i will remain on the fixed amount, Then i will revert to the role i was originally hired for which is sales (which i was hired for 2 weeks ago and then the receptionist found out she was pregnant 2 days after i started and left straight way thus i have been doing both jobs and why i wasn't put on the retainer straight away).
i will be put on a retainer of between 250-300 p/w for a working week of between 38 and 45 hours but still doing both jobs. A commission of 2% will be paid on top of my retainer (the average sale is 12,000 and round about 3 sales a month for the other members of the sales team we deal in specialist systems). therefore a 38 hr week @ 300 will be on $7.90 p/h.
so my question is what is the minimum wage for a 27 yr old who finished the HSC (if that matters)

Voting Question: compensation payout for accident?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:24:28 GMT)
I was in a car accident (passenger), we got hit head on by another driver which wrote off both our cars. I was 38 weeks pregnant and started leaking amniotic fluid for a week before my waters broke, after a failed induction due to the premature rupture I had an emergency c section. Further births will now also end this way. I also suffered whiplash, eye infection from the dust of the airbag, post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety which has lead to back and neck problems. I've never been in this position before and am awaiting legal advice. What sort of compensation level can we hope for. I'd rather of had a normal birth and be healthy but if you have to look at the positives then this is all I can hope for at the moment. Thanks
