Im 39 weeks pregnant. Tomorrow I start my 40 weeks. My doctor told me that my pregnancy is going good and that everything seems okay. Well though-out my pregnancy, Ive basically been sleeping only on my left side (uncomfortable after a while). I read that the left side was better than the right side and than sleeping on your back; so I only slept on my left. My moms friend told me that I had to start moving around because my baby could come out with his kinda pushed in because Ive only slept l

My soon to be son's father is living with me and has been for a little over 30 days. He does not pay rent and he is collecting unemployment, although I am not seeing any of that. I'm really getting frustrated and irritated with him leeching off of his pregnant girlfriend who is 37 weeks pregnant and is still working 40+ hours a week. I'm ready to kick him out but I need some help on how to approach the situation the safest and most legal way possible. I signed the lease on the apartment we're

Ok so my son is nearly three and i got pregnant at 40.....during the pregnancy I was not well and was very tired and since my son has been born I have become very withdrawn, rarely go out except shopping or to take my son to the park and have just not felt like socialising so much so that I stopped answering phone calls to friends and keeping my home phone on silent. I have found it utterly exhausting being a parent of a youngster at this age and although my son is delightful, I am finding i

Hello, when I was 35 weeks pregnant, I was sitting at a red light and was rear ended. I only had limited tort on my insurance. The guy hit me so hard that his front and side air bags deployed. I was not wearing my seatbelt (I know that was dumb, so please don't bash me for that), but I slammed stomach first into the steering wheel. He totalled my car and he hit me so hard that I hit the person in front of me. I began having stomach, neck and back pains. I was taken via ambulance to the closest

I've been trying to get pregnant for 3 years. my boyfriend has 2 children from his previous relationship and we really want one of our own. inside it's killing me. I know the problem it's because I have irregular periods. They last exactly the same days every month, 5 days - but never come on time, my last period was july 31st to august 4th. I still have no period now. there could be a chance I'm pregnant because me and my boyfriend don't use protection as we want a baby so bad, were both old

I had sooooo many symptoms I was convinced I was pregnant. My period was really late. I took a test on days 32, 35, 38, and 41 and they all were negative. My period started on day 40, it seemed normal with lots of cramping. I still really feel like I'm pregnant though so yesterday I took another test and was crushed to find another negative :'( If you had the same thing happen to you, please share, I think it would help me cope. Or if you had been getting negative tests for weeks before yo

I am not sure what I want to do yet, but my relationship with my now husband hasn't been anywhere near good ever since about 6 months before I got pregnant with our now 15 month old daughter. When I was pregnant he treated me horribly and I just found out that he tried getting with a girl he use to talk to in highschool when I was 8 months pregnant. I have very strong suspicions that he has cheated on me before, maybe even more than once, even though he denies it. Our relationship now is so-s

My husband and I have been dating for 3 ½ years, and married for about eight months. We started dating at nineteen. We currently have a seven month old daughter. He quit his part time job when I was five months pregnant, and went on unemployment until it ran out in June. And he is STILL unemployed, and his dad is paying our rent. Now my mother in law is going to move in to compensate for his half of the rent. Among that very big factor on why I want to leave, he also recently broke my PAID

I am a recruiter for a clinical research unit and I have been working as a PRN for about a year now. (in October) I don't have benefits, no vaca/sick/pto, but I work 40 hours a week and when I have to leave or call out I just dont get paid for that time I missed.

Hi- So I had a c-section 4 1/2 months ago. I couldn't work out for the first 6-12 weeks, and then about a 1 1/2 month ago I went back to work. I gained about 35-40 lbs in my pregnancy, and I am only over about 10-15 lbs now... however, I have a BIG BAL LONN belly... someone offered me a seat on the subway because i look pregnant. I try to exercise 2-3 times a week... not very intense, just walking and stuff, its really hard since i am back at work... I am thinking about weight watchers..?? A

Last period was 22nd July 10 and still not here, 42 days and counting. about 4.5 weeks ago I had some spotting for about 3 days which I thought could be implantation bleeding but now think my period was just being funny (not long after my period had finished) I now have not had a period for approx 2 weeks and don't know what the hell is going on as every test I do is negative b

Monday I went to the doctor for some pain I had been having, probably a urinary tract infection. I was curious to see if I was pregnant, my hubby and I have been trying for quite some time and some things were happening that made me think I am, nausea, breast tenderness, and my breasts are getting bigger! The test she did came back positive, the 2nd line was faint and she said most likely I am, but wanted to do a blood test to make sure. The blood test came back negative. I am not even late

Im 38 weeks pregnant so baby will be here soon. My husband of 1 year has 3 min pins which he sees as his babys, the oldest one is 9 yrs and the youngest one is 2yrs.

The dogs are not bad dogs but they pee and poop everywhere in our home and also bark at anything they see or hear no matter what it is, (from when i flush the toilet to when a car passes by) so i mean EVERYTHING, so im very concern about them waking the baby with the bark

im 40 weeks pregnant (just over actually) and my contractions are regular for an hour at about 7-10 minutes apart. Some are incredibly painful and some are barely recognizable. I have no idea what to do. I have rung the midwife and she is pretty keen on thinking she will come today/tonight/early tomorrow. She says i wont need to come in till im 3-5 minutes apart. The thing is sometimes I am. They just aren't sore and it only happens like 3 times in a row. Like so far this morning my contrac

This truly is for my friend... she has no health insurance and her company does not offer health insurance. She is 21 and lives at home w/ her parents and 2 children (3 and 2). She just found out she is pregnant. She receives NO child support for the 2 children she has and is not going to file for court order for payment. She earns $13/hr. and works 40 hours a week. If she is pregnant, can she get Medicaid for the purposes of having her NEW BABY??? Or, would income requirements have to be m

please take the time to read my story and let me know your opinion. I am desperately in need of relief, and since PUPPP can only be cured with delivery, I am desperately wanting to have this baby. I have tried so hard not to be selfish and let my pregnancy go full-term, but my health feels like it is diminishing. I am currently 35 weeks, 6 days pregnant and I have been suffering from PUPPP since I was 34 weeks, 6 days gestation. 1 Whole week so far. The itching is unbearable and I have not

I have a friend who is 12 weeks pregnant. Two days ago she was beaten so badly by the father of her child that she bled for 40 minutes, but did not miscarry. The father of the child and her are not together and she has filed a protective order. The same man has custody of his other two children from previous relationships. He will not relinquish his paternal rights once the baby is born and is also threatening to seek full custody of the child. So, adoption will NOT happen here. While he was

i am 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant, i was 1 cm dilated last Wednesday and i'm thinking about using castor oil to induce labor.. theres a lot of ppl saying that it's dangerous to the baby because it'll cause meconium but i've found a site that says ... There has been much debate over whether taking castor oil to induce labor will cause the baby to have its first bowel movement in the womb before birth. This pre-birth bowel movement, called meconium, can be dangerous, because if baby inhales som

My boyfriend and I live at home with our parents, and we have discussed having children in the future, but didn't think it would happen now.

I am 24, and he is 26, he works 32 hours a week, and I work 10 hours a week, and study full time. He is looking for jobs over 40 hours a week, but nothing is available at the moment, and it doesn't look like there will be any vacancies anytime so

I had Light bleeding July 14 that lasted 5 days (my normal period length) but it was much lighter than usual. I didn't think anything of it then.

I am currently 36 weeks pregnant now and ever since I've been 32 weeks pregnant or so, maybe earlier when I was 30 weeks, my fiance started watching porn. We've been together for 3-4 years now and he's just begun watching porn behind my back since I've been gaining weight, getting stretch marks and basically just looking how a pregnant woman looks. The thing that bothers me is that I've never had to deal with such a ginorous weight gain before since I've been tiny my whole life. I used to be

Hello ladies. Its my birthday in 11 days time and I was wondering what I could do that involves me my partner and hopefully by then my newborn.

What could cause my period to be late if I'm not pregnant? I usually have 35 days between each period, now it is 40 days.

Nor am I under particularly a lot of stress either, it will be lots of stuff to do this week though. What could it be? I did get of my birth control pills in July(which constantly made me spot). So I got of after

I have been married 4 years now to my husband. I used to be really heavy and lost a lot of weight just before I met him. At the time, I didn't think any man would ever find me attractive (just being used to not having anyone like me when I was bigger). When I met my husband, he instantly fell for me. Not used to anyone every really liking me, I dated him thinking I would never meet anyone and this was my one chance to find someone. A year after dating, we moved to a big city for work. Then w

I am almost 40 weeks pregnant, and don't know if that has to do with maybe why my dinner had not digested. It doesn't help that I have had a headache for the last 5 days either I guess.
