ttc...not sure if I am pregnant or not, kind of a long story to get into, but I have been having some symtoms of pregnancy like frequent urination, headaches, very tired, light cramping, lower back ache, and a feeling of fullness in my lower stomach, but I haven't been having any breasts soreness, could I still be pregnant???
I haven't been having any morning sickness either.

Open Question: Odd spot on my left ovary???????
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:56:21 GMT)
I just had miscarriage last week at 7 1/2 weeks pregnant. The DR kinda knew that I would probably miscarry because my gest. sac was measuring two weeks behind and I recently miscarried in Sept. also at 4 weeks. Both miscarriages were natural no D&C was needed.
My question is when the DR was doing one ultrasound checking the progress of the miscarriage last Tuesday she said that I had a "odd" spot on my left ovary. I went back Friday to make sure the miscarriage was complete and when I asked the DR that was doing this ultrasound what it could be she looked but could only bearly find my left ovary?? I was so confused and she said that it was probably just a cyst or something. I was at a new DR because My husband and I were staying with his mom. For about the past two years I have had problems with my left side hurting mostly around the time of my period so since we are back home I called my normal DR and had the records faxed to him, he is reviewing them and is going to give me a call when he gets done. In the mean time this is driving me crazy because I have carried three healthy baby's pretty much to term (36 weeks was the earliest) now I have had two miscarriages in 4 months.
Could this spot on my left ovary effect that?? and what could it be??

Open Question: I have a question about ultrasounds?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:20:43 GMT)
Ok so I am now 27 weeks pregnant. I just started the third trimester. I have only had 1 ultrasound which was at 7 weeks. From my impression you are suppose to get an ultrasound each trimester to check development. My doctor told me I would get my next one around 25 weeks and when I went in for my December appt he never scheduled me one. So yesterday when I went in for this months check up I had to ask him about it and he said that they normally don't do ultrasounds. Does that sound a little off? From everything I've read and friends that went through this they had one each trimester accept for one she had more since she was more high risk. I mean aren't they suppose to be checking to make sure the baby is developing properly? I am thinking he forgot about it and made an excuse to why he hasn't scheduled one because when I mentioned it he said they don't do them, but I can have one if I want it.

Open Question: Why can't I keep food down in my 12th week of pregnancy?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:10:57 GMT)
I'm 12 weeks pregnant and vomit almost after every meal. After I eat I feel like the food is caught in my throat. This causes me to gag then throw up. My doctor has given me three different things now to help this and nothing is working. I'm very hungry but just can't keep the food down. This has been going on since about week 7. I was hoping it would stop by now but no luck! I've also tried eating smaller meals, drinking meals, exercising, getting more fiber.
Has this happened to anyone else? Do you have any suggestions?

Open Question: Sick while pregnant please help?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:34:55 GMT)
I think one of two things are happening. I am either getting ready to miscarry or getting the flu. I am hoping I am just tired and worn down, but I feel awful. I am having some mild cramping, my lower back is killing me, my head hurts, I am having hot/cold flashes, my stomach feels like it has butterflies, it is not the baby moving, I am only about 7 weeks. I never felt like this with my first or sec. preg. any words of advice as what I can do or take. Also words of encouragement that this is not a miscarriage. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago but I never got rid of the baby on my own. I had to have a D&C so I do not know what it really feels like. I feel kinda like I am about to start my period and just really achy all over.
I had a 24 hour stomach bug on Sunday so this has been a bad week!
I felt really bad during 1st trimester with the first 2, just never like this.

Open Question: BABY NAME GAME!!! 20 characters?
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:16:12 GMT)
1. Your 17 and you have a baby with your boyfriend. Your baby comes in april, it's a beutiful baby boy. With brown hair, fair skin, and hazel eyes. You wanted his name to have something to do with your boyfriend <James Christopher> but not exactly.
2. You continue to the same college in Boston as your boyfriend. Post graduating you get married and shortly after realize your pregnant. On a buisness trip in paris, your children are born. 2 twin girl and boy, one with honey blonde hair, medium skin and indigo eyes, the other identical.
3. Your husband graduates med school and gets a job as a doctor, you now have a house <your kids are 11, 5, and 5) You decide to have another child, you get fertillity and have quadruplets. You want them all to have the same initials. 3 boys and 1 girl. The first 2 boys have blonde hair and blue eyes, the second has curly brown hair and brown eyes. The girl has black hair and topaz eyes.
4. Your husband gets promoted, so you quit work to stay home with your growing family. then your 14 year-old daughter comes to you with news that she's PREGNANT. Coincidentlly, your pregnant at the same time. After, talking it through with your daughter, the baby daddy, and his parents, you decide, that you will keep the baby because both families are doctors and financially able, under the impression that the two will raise the kids together. <btw, your daughters boyfriend is your neighbor>. Your daughter has a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. You have a girl with beautiful purple eyes, fair skin, and jet black hair. Names?
5. Your children are now 16, 10, 10 and 2. Your grandson dies, with extreme sadness your daughter says she wants to marry the baby daddy, you agree, if the wedding is when they are both 17 or 18 and they promise to both go to college. Overjoyed with that information, your daughter gets pregnant again but with a girl. The two get married and you and your husband adopt twin girls from Australia. Your daughter wants the name of her son to have the same initials as her first. Your twins mother wanted the babies to be named after your family.
6. Now your children are 21<the 21 year old is happily married and just graduated from and going to lawschool>, 15, 15, 4, 2 and 2. Your son tells you he is going to be a father <15 year old son> upset <like the 1st 2 times> and the girl was kicked out, you feel obligated to let her in to the house. After meeting her more thoroughly she feels more like family. The baby is born when they are 16, you keep it. After they live together for 2 years they get married. They both go to a 4 year college near by and live in the house.
7. now that your children are 30, 24, 24, 13, 11, and 11, your youngest dies of cancer. and your oldest has a child and names it a similar name. The baby is born on the day of your child's funeral, so it was an uneasy day. Your 24 year-olds are both married with children.
8. After stressing to your daughter not to have sex, at the age of 19, while in an ivy-league college she gets pregnant, the baby is born 7 weeks premature and okay. It was a girl on march 3, at 6:17 AM. She wanted a hawaiian name. You and your husband retired very rich, shortly after which he died, so you move near your daughter and her new-arrival. She did not get married to the baby daddy <or possible baby daddies> she finished her degee and got a good paying jobs, and later writes a book called "the house of youth" a fictinal book based on her and her siblings teen parenting experiences, the book was a huge hit, and turned in to a TV show.

(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 23:44:26 GMT)
Last month, I started spotting 2 weeks before I would have usually gotten my period and my periods usually last 7 days and this only lasted 2 days.

THE LAST TIME I THIS BABY ON ULTRASOUND WAS AT 7 WEEKS. I AM NOW 10 WEEKS ON THE DOT BUT HAVING SOME CRAMPING. NOW I KNOW THIS IS NORMAL BUT THIS CRAMPING IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. ALSO I BLED FORM 5.2 WEEKS TILL AROUND THE 7TH OR 8TH WEEK. MY SYMPTOMS ARE LESSENING AND IM REALLY GETTING WORRIED. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE LAST NIGHT AFTER HAVING SEX I WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND WHEN I WIPED THERE WAS A BLOOD CLOT. NO BLOOD AT ALL JUST THE BLOOD CLOT.EVERYONE IN MY HOUSE IS GETTING MAD AT ME FOR WANTING TO GET AN ULTRASOUND. MY DOCTOR WONT GIVE ME ONE SO I WANT TO GO TO THE ER BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE ME. THEY ALL SAY EVEN IF I AM GOING TO MISCARRY AN ULTRASOUND WONT PREVENT IT OR THAT IM OVER ANALYZING EVERYTHING. I JUST WANT MY MIND PUT AT EASE!! WHY CANT THEY UNDERSTAND HOW PETRIFIED I AM OF HAVING THIS KIND OF MISCARRIAGE HAPPENING AGAIN. SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME THERE INPUT...IM GOING NUTS!!

Open Question: why didn't my mom tell me?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:34:54 GMT)
I found out that my mom is pregnant with another kid. My step dad and her got married 10 years ago. I don't trust him at all. he was ok when i was little but now hes abusive. not physically but verbally and mentally although he's threatened to hit me. ive been kicked out once. at first my mom defended me but after a while she gave up. we barley talk now. I asked her to tell me about but she said no. She finds ways to avoid me. Like ill ask her to talk and she'll have to call someone because she "forgot". I found out she was 6 months pregnant 2 weeks before christmas. She wore really baggy cloths and her stomach didn't get big until like last week. Now that i ask her about it she wont tell me anything. she'll say she doesn't know anything but ten minutes later i'll hear her on the phone talking to someone about how the dr told her stuff that she shouldn't be doing. and that's not normal for 6 months. But i find it strange that she wont tell me ANYTHING.
She says when the baby comes i have to move down to the basement. It's not redone but apparently my step dad and his dad r going to redo it. I asked her when he's gonna start it and she said probably never. So i'm stuck without a room when the thing pops out.
I plan on moving out when i turn 18 but i don't want the baby to grow up like my other 2 half-siblings. (my brother is 9 and my sister is 7) they ALWAYS get what they want when they want. and if their mommy and daddy get them something they call their grandparents. My brother got a dirt bike when he was 6, a tv, and has 2 electric guitars even though he has no clue how to play them. my sister has a tv, a crap load of dolls, too many cloths, and a ping pong table. I have nothing that good. the only thing i have is a tv but that's from my neighbor. my real dad gets me everything i need/want. (phone and ipod)
I don't understand why my mom wont tell me anything anymore and i want to know why. She avoids me and ignores me. My step dads abusive and my real dad lives 380 miles away.
I don't know why the thought of the baby bugs me either. when ever someone brings it up im almost in tears every time.
I am 16 and my mom is 41.
i have grown up...too fast. my mom stopped doing almost everything for me when i was 11 except shopping and cooking dinner but thats only because she cooks for the 3 other people living in my house. i clean and watch her kids for her when her husband "can't" or is "working"

Open Question: OMG..My Childs Father! What do I do?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:53:44 GMT)
So I can not stand my child father. I am 10 weeks pregnant and all he wants to do is fight and try and make me more miserable. He'll send his new girl friend into where I work at, he will ignore me for days at a time, he only wants to be a part of the babies life if I would give the baby to him the minute it's born. Refuses to talk about child support, He gives me zero support and in general is just a jerk 24/7 bc I think he is trying to stress me out so I would loose the baby. Anyways, my question is-how do I handle this before I completely loose my mind? I am sick of being miserable and crying myself to sleep when this is supposed to be a happy time! What can I do to retaliate? This feels like a war I wont win:(

Open Question: My boyfriend cheating me. I know. What should I do...?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:50:28 GMT)
Hy. My name is Christie and I am 27 years old. I need really help so badly. So please if anybody have similar things happened or wants to give me advice then please write me hear back. Hear is my story.
I am originally from Germany and I left my county about 4 years ago and moved to America. After couple of months I met one cuy, who seemed so nice, kind, loving. I fell in love with him and our relationship started. He is moslem and born in Afganistan. He took me out, he spend money on me. Then I get pregnant. I did not want to have a baby so I made abortion. He said it is up to me but still let me do that.
Anyway time flyed, we had problems a little but we always solved everything untill last spring.
One day I called and called to him and he never picked up the phone. After 1 week I found out that he was arrested. I was shocked. Anyway he was in jail 3 months and then he was deported to his country. I still do not know what he was there but I have my thoughts that he was not legally in America. Anyway during this 3 months I found out about him things that broke my heart 100 different pieces and there was days when I thought I do not want to live anymore. Whay happened was that I talked one of his former best friend and he told me stuff about him. Horrible stuff. The fact he is been cheating me few times different girls, the fact he had 7 different online dating sites, the fact he told me he is american citizen and he was not, and many many more things.
I get to prove to that when I found out his email password and checked everything. And I do not need to tell you cuys what I found there...
When I told him about that all he started to deny everything and by now he do not still know I know his password, that is why I know everything.
He is telling me he loves me, he misses me, he wants to see me and live in germany with me.
I want to forgive him because I still love him but I am scared he is not changed. In fact I am sure he wants to sleep again with someone in his country. I think he is a having a sex addicsion. But he never admit that. I wanted to revenge him back every single thing he is been hurting me but I cannot. I love him.
Please what should I do...help me someone please...
Also my family never accept him because of he is a moslem. And I quess his family also wants him someone from afganistan.
thank you.
Christie

Open Question: I'm 12 days late for my period...not stressed...and took a EPT...am i pregnant?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:12:37 GMT)
I am 12 days late for my period and I am getting really nervous because I hardly am ever late/nor early give or take 2 days. I took a pregnancy test 7 days (a week) and I KNOW i peed directly on it for the exact amount of time and the test came up blank with no lines. So after about 10 mins i used the same test and peed on it a 2nd time....it came up negative.
Im not stressed so I dont know what else it could be.
My chest is somewhat painful (which never happens)
Just today (12 days) I woke up with a queezy feeling
I've also been urinating a lot
Lastly I have a great amount of clear discharge
I would think these signs wouldn't show up for atleast a month tho if it was signs and symptoms of pregnancy?!

I went to the doctor on yesterday, and it seems that I am 7 weeks pregnant and I have a bacteria infection also. I was given a prescription for cleocin.

Open Question: Breastfeeding and dieting...?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:41:59 GMT)
I've recently started trying to lose the baby weight that is left. I breastfeed my 7 week old exclusively, and I want to be sure that I'm eating enough. I'm paranoid that my milk production will go down and I won't be able to get it back up...
So. I'm eating about 2000 calories a day, sometimes less. I'm drinking plenty of water. I'm sticking to the standard 64oz a day. (I'm going pee so much, I kinda feel like I'm still pregnant!)
Also, I've walked on the treadmill a couple of times, and I'm trying to get into the routine of walking every day for 45 min. Should I cut exercise down to three times a week or something?
Should I be eating more?

Resolved Question: should i keep my job or quit it? 7 months pregnant and don't have my own car, please read!?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 17:08:30 GMT)
im 7 mo pregnant, and i work as a nanny. im not 18 yet, i will be next month. i have been a nanny for about 4 mo.
my stomach muscles have separated and it hurts to lift things over 15-20 lbs
i baby sit 3 kids,
a 4 year old a 6 year old and a 5 month old. i only get paid 400$ a month.. that's 2 $ an hour, 50 hours a week, mon-fri 200 hrs a mo.
the let me drive their extra car but i don't get to keep it if i quit.
the thing is that my boyfriend and i live about 25 miles away from where we both work, he works down the street from where i work and we drive together every morning. he doesn't have his own car either. the only reason i have stayed working here so long is for the car. i know they are taking advantage of me but i would feel guilty for quitting because my boyfriend would have to quit his job too. we live at my parents house and he could find a job down there but not one as good as the one he has now.
do you think i should quit my job and make my boyfriend find a new one by where we live? i want to try and find like a barista job, or a job at babys-r-us near my parents house.
ALSO: my parents bought me a car last year but took it back because my step dad needed it, and then my mom promised me 1000$ for a car and then backedout because she needed the money for bills, so thats why i havent saved for a car or got a better paying job so far, because i was counting on what they promised me.
please help any good advice helps!

the thing is that my boyfriend and i live about 25 miles away from where we both work, he works down the street from where i work and we drive together every morning. he doesn't have his own car either. the only reason i have stayed working here so long is for the car. i know they are taking advantage of me but i would feel guilty for quitting because my boyfriend would have to quit his job too. we live at my parents house and he could find a job down there but not one as good as the one he has now.
do you think i should quit my job and make my boyfriend find a new one by where we live? i want to try and find like a barista job, or a job at babys-r-us near my parents house.
ALSO: my parents bought me a car last year but took it back because my step dad needed it, and then my mom promised me 1000$ for a car and then backedout because she needed the money for bills, so thats why i havent saved for a car or got a better paying job so far, because i was counting on what they promised me.
please help any good advice helps!
if i wasit for my boyfriend to get another job he wont take me seriously and will just screw off till i quit mine.
Paste in your text...okay well obviously i haven't graduated yet i had to quit my senior year because im pregnant and i needed to have a job.

Open Question: Terrified of miscarriage!!!! :o(?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:42:11 GMT)
I've just found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my first baby (well it'll be 5 weeks tomorrow) and I have an appointment for the midwife at 8 and a half weeks (on 6th Feb) and then I'll have my 12 week scan after that. However, my boyfriend and I are so happy about this baby, I am absolutely terrified at the thought of miscarrying!
Can anyone give any advice?
I fell pregnant really quickly and I'm worried it'll be snatched away as I was so excited when I found out and I know chances are about 1 in 4 will end in miscarriage.
The doctor today didn't really fill me with confidence either with the 'it's very early days, so we don't usually like to build your hopes too much' talk....
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
It's such a long wait another 7 weeks before a scan...would I know if I've miscarried?! Would a pregnancy test still come up positive?!
Thanks
Thanks so much everyone. This is my first pregnancy but I'm just terrified of losing the baby, my boyfriend and I desperately want this.....I have Sanatogen Pre-Natal vitamins which I'll start taking today and I'll try and do what I can diet wise...I haven't drank alcohol since October, I don't smoke and my caffeine intake is pretty low. I'm so excited, I just can't put it out of my mind and want 7 weeks to pass so I get my scan.....

Open Question: My child's teen pregnancy might tear our relationship a part can it be saved?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:39:31 GMT)
My 16 year old son got his 15 year old girlfriend pregnant. We just found yesterday. The girlfriends mom wants her to have an abortion as quickly as possible. My son wants her to have the baby and either place the baby up for adoption or with my support raise the baby himself. The girlfriend is confused and hasn't made a decision yet she is 7 weeks.
I was a teen mother and single most of my sons life. I have been in a relationship for the last two years. My boyfriend told me he and his ex-wife were in the same situation when they were in high school. They opted for the abortion and later after they were married they had two children together. He says he thinks about it till this day and wonders what if and he knows his ex-wife never forgave him for having to do it. Me and my BF live apart but he has been a big part of me and my children's lives for the past two years. We talk about building a home and moving in together in the future. When this came up my thoughts were I didn't want her to have an abortion. I told both her and my son my thoughts but I also told them that no matter what they decide I will love them and be there for them. I told them there are other options to explore such as adoption and teen parenting. Later talking to my bf I told him if they didn't want the abortion maybe I could parent the baby myself. This angered him he said I was enabling my son to be a loser. I don't agree whats done is done if they can not take care of the baby why cant I? I have been a singe mother most of my life my sons mistake does not reflect me as a parent I took all the precautions I could. Basically my bf feels we are just starting our lives together and I will throw it away. I should not tell them I will help them because they will feel like they have no responsibilty. what do you think? BF said he could not make that same sacrafise. He will go his own way if I choose the either parent the baby or assist my son parent the baby.

Open Question: I need help choosing a birth control that works and is easy to use...?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:22:30 GMT)
Right now I am on implanon and it sucks. I have gained 45 ponds in one year and bleed for 6 weeks, every six weeks. I talked to a obgyn about this and she said it was normal that this was my rythm. But when I went on the implanon website they said it wasnt normal.
Also i fall into that .01% of people that most birth controls do not work for. I have five children. the crazy part is that after an accident when I was a child they had to surgically remove half of my uterus and I was told that It there was only a 20% chance that I would ever concieve and only 2% that I would ever carry a child to term. Imagine my shock when I did become pregnant and carried a healthy baby girl for 36 weeks.
After that I went on depo one year later exactly I was pregnant again.
After that I went on the pill and just to be safe my husband and I used condoms and spermicide. I became pregnant again exactly one year later.
With my fourth we decided to use the family planning method. It worked for 3 years until we got a little intoxicated and we blew off the timing.
With my fifth I had the Minerna IUD. Despite what they tell you apparently the real statistics are that 1 in 10 get pregnant with this. I went another 3 years before I did get pregnant.
Before you say I should get my tubes tied, or do something permanent, this is absolutley out of the question, one because it is a miracle that I became pregnant in the first place and 2 becasue I plan on being a surrogate for my sister in law who cannot have children. Also my mom is like me she had 7 children and my little brother was the result of my mom having her tubes tied and my dad had a vesectomy. 12 years after her 6 my bro was born and I am 22 years older than him.
In the meantime I need something with out all the side effects. all the other birth controls I was on, I never got a period at all and didnt gain any wait. I was a size 6 after my 4th child and now I am pushing size 18.
Any suggettions would be great or even websites where I can compare different methods.

Open Question: My sons 15 year old girlfriend is pregnant her family wants her to terminate I don't what do I do?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:15:43 GMT)
My 16 year old son and his girlfriend are pregnant 7 weeks. I just found out yesterday when her mom called me. The girls mother told me she wants her daughter to get an abortion as early as Saturday. I asked her what B. (the girlfriend) wanted. She said B. also wanted one and she gave her the phone so I can talk to her. B. sounded real confused she said her mom and the clinic were pressuring her to hurry up and make a decision. I explained their are other options to explore like adoption she said she didn't think she could do it. I told her to think about it and no matter what she decides I will not hate her or leave her side and I am sure my son would be the same. I had a long talk with my son and he also wants her to have the baby. He thinks with our support he can raise his child himself. He also said he would consider adoption because that would be better for the baby. I want them both to finish school and reach their goals. A baby at such a young age can keep them from doing that. I was a teen single mom who did everything on my own. I know its hard but it can be done. Am I being selfish I just don't believe abortion should be used as a form of birth control. Please help me..
Her parents also want me to help pay for the abortion which I understand but dont think I can morraly do any thought? As for they shouldnt have done it comments completely unhelpful at this point whats done is done.

(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:53:00 GMT)

Open Question: Is she pregnant or lying?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:43:21 GMT)
My ex girlriend sent me a ultrasound of a 7 week old fetus. Is it real? Can they be faked? On the ultrasound it has her name, the date of the scan, the time of the scan, and the name of the hospital. The funny thing is that makes me doubt her is that the very last time we had intercourse we definately used a condom so i don't understand how it could have happened. Can anyone shed any light on this matter please as i don't want anything to do with this girl and so this situation coming up is my worst nightmare.
Ok thankyou, i understand what you all are saying, and yes i realise contraception is not 100%. What i am getting at is the girl is a bit nuts is all, and am suspicious as she has already done some crazy stuff before this. So i wanted some inspiration whether it might be another stunt. The ultasound also has how many weeks old the fetus is i forgot to mention that. The first i knew of this pregnancy was when i got the email with the ultrasound attached. Hence my current reaction is a bit panicked.
1 more thing, when i say she sent me an ultrasound, it was not by post, it was attached to a email.

Open Question: Pregnancy and Lupron?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:32:54 GMT)
I have had endometriosis for 7 years and been on Lupron for 5 years consistently. The Lupron started at 11.25 mg, moved up to 22.5 mg, and now I am on 33.75 mg. Within the last 8 months I stop taking the add back (which I started taking again 2 days ago) norethindrone (a birth control). In the last week or so I have been nauseous and am concerned I am pregnant. Is this possible? I haven't had a period in 5 years, doesn't that mean I can't get pregnant? And if i do try to take a home pregnancy test, will it come out correctly since I don't have a time line (ie missed period) to judge when to take it?

Open Question: I think I had a miscarriage but i'm not sure?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:55:09 GMT)
My husband and I had been using condoms because i have a lower back injury and my doctor told me not to get pregnant, technically i wasnt supposed to be having sex. Well we ran out of condoms and didnt even remember to pick any up until things were hot and heavy in bed. Well, it is now almost 3 weeks later. I know I wasnt due to start my period until between the 5-7. I always have a 32 day cycle since i first started my cycles. Well 2 days ago i had cramps so bad I had to go home from work ( which isnt easy when you work in a prison ) i was sick in the stomach, threw up when i got home. Then i checked to see if i started my cycle early. I had a thick yellowish discharge then about 2 hours later i started finding grayish,pinkish fleshy like stuff on the pad i put on. The next morning i was bleeding very VERy heavily, and had cramps so bad I couldnt move. At first i thought it was my back injury, because my mom has a sever back injury and her cramps are horrible. Then i started passing blood clots so big that i was chaning my pad every 3 hours. Now it has slowed down, almost to a stop. I'm still feeling sick in the stomach. i took a test and it came up negative, but i called my aunt ( who used to be gy/ob) and she said that if i was early in my pregnancy and miscarried then it wouldnt come up positive. she also told me to go to my gy/ob but i cant get an appointment until like next week. Will I be ok or should i make the 6 hour trip to my aunts office to have her look at me?

Open Question: What should I do? Extremely concerned....?
(Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:42:55 GMT)
I'm 36 weeks pregnant with a high risk pregnancy. They've stopped labor 3 times already and given me steroid shots to hasten her lung development. I had been having contractions every 10 minutes for 2 months straight before they changed to every 5-7 minutes about 2 weeks ago. The docs think that that is just my baseline now and other than monitoriing me a little more closely (twice weekly instead of once), they are not that concrened.
Now, what has me so concerned is today I went to the bathroom and had bloody urine. It didn't freak me out too awfully bad because I had that often with my son due to having a constant UTI that didn't respond to antibiotics. However, I still called L&D because if it is a UTI I know I need to be started on antibiotics. While talking to the floor nurse giving her my info she asked me if I had had any abdominal trauma today, which my son overheard and piped up saying that I had slammed the breaks on the car to prevent getting sideswiped. I had completely forgotten about that. We were on our way home from getting dinner, driving through my subdivision (25 mph limit) when a pickup truck blew the ONLY stop sign doing atleast 50. I was just entering the intersection when he came barrelling through and therefore I slammed the breaks to prevent beign hit. My seatbelt did "lock" but I didn't jerk forward and didn't feel any pain because of the slow speed I was doing. It was when I got home after that (about 5 minutes later) that I first noticed blood in my urine. The nurse asked the doc on call and they said to put on a pad wait an hour and if I was still bleeding. the baby stopped moving or my water broke to come back in. Their answer kinda ticked me off because I specifically told them that the blood was only in my urine, I was not actually bleeding from down there. Anyways, I had bloody urine for the next 4-5 times I went and now nothing. No blood, crystal clear urine. Which makes me wonder if maybe instead of a UTI, it had something to do with the seatbelt.
Should I call L&D back and talk to them? Should I just relax and wait until my regular appointment on Wednesday morning and ask my doc or should I do something else? If it was just me I'd not be worried, but I don't want anything to be wrong with my baby girl
To Ash. I understand where you are coming from with your comment, but the baby is fine ( or was at my last check up) the medical issues, with the exception of today's worries have all been due to a medical problem with ME, not my daughter. I have an incompetant cervix, uterine prolapse, PCOS and a few other issues that are making this a difficult pregnancy for me. All except for the PCOS were not diagnosed until after I found out I was pregnant.
As of my last appointment the only "risk" to the baby was preterm labor, which I also had with my son, but I've already carried my daughter longer than I did with him and all tests have stated that she is completely healthy and developed. The only concern I have now is if the seatbelt somehow did something to hurt me that could possibly hurt her.
