Open Question: Could I be infertile?
(Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:07:37 GMT)
I had a baby in August of last year. He was a complete surprise. Wasnt trying to get pregnant and I was even on birth control. I had the Mirena IUD for about 4 months. I had it taken out and now, 9 months later, I still havent gotten pregnant. In the beginning we were using condoms to avoid pregnancy but we never used them religiously, and now we arent trying to prevent pregnancy, we're just letting whatever happens, happen. I'm still not pregnant though. I don't know what to do..I don't stres

Hello,
I would really appreicate it if you could help us plan our trip to Copenhagen.

Open Question: is it safe to deliver by c-section at 38w 5d pregnant?
(Sun, 05 Sep 2010 12:35:40 GMT)
my dr told me at the beginning of my pregnancy i had a narrow pelvis and told me recently that i should do a c-section due to my baby being large. @ 36w 4d he weighed 8lb 6oz approx. I wanted to avoid a c-section and she has allowed me to try regular birth but thinking about it i changed my mind and feel it would be safer to do a c-section instead.
I alread called the dr office and left a message with their after hours but considering its a holiday weekend i am afraid they wont get the message

Open Question: Why is this happening now?
(Sun, 05 Sep 2010 06:30:12 GMT)
Hi guys.
So I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant and just admitted to my fiancee on Thursday that I'm depressed. I have dealt with depression ever since I was 13 and it has come and gone since then. I had a really rough first trimester where I was sick all the time and since this was an unplanned pregnancy, I didn't really have a chance to mentally prepare myself for this huge life change. My second trimester was relatively easy but now in the third trimester, my depression has come back. This is the wor

Open Question: Questions about meat during pregnancy?
(Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:34:11 GMT)
Today is football day and my husband's football food consists of beer bratwurst (Hillshire Farm brand), cheese queso and chips, hot wings, and sausage wrap rolls.
I imagine, based on what I've read that I can't have the bratwurst, the queso (something about soft cheeses?), and the sausage wrap rolls. Will the hot wings be okay??
Also, if a food is made with alcohol (such as the beer bratwurst) is that safe for consumption since it's been cooked out or should it be completely avoided?

I have had a lot of pregnancies, actually think I have had everything occur. First three ended within 6 weeks as a teenager, and I was told I probably would never have a child.

Voting Question: Is the diaphragm good birth control?

I'm 18 & sexually active. I have a big fear of throwing up. I tried the nuva ring & patch. They both made me vomit. I don't want anything hormonal. It's too invasive on my body. I got fitted for a diaphragm & I hear they are only 90% effective. My boyfriend hates condoms. So sometimes I use female condoms. If I use condoms with the diaphragm & spermicide. Is that good enough to avoid pregnancy? What are the chances?
