Open Question: Please tell me (again) that light cramps are normal at 5 weeks 1 day?
(Fri, 10 Sep 2010 01:38:59 GMT)
I guess I'm going to have to ask this every day... I love my baby so much it hurts (the love, not the cramps!)... I want so badly to be 100% reassured and chilled out, but I can't... I guess if I have to ask this every night to reassure myself, I will! LOL!
I've already reduced my stress by 75%, when I feel the cramping I close my eyes, breathe in and out through my nose (thank you vinyasa yoga!) and focus on something else (like song lyrics). I eat incredibly healthy, and as soon as I fe

Open Question: Giving birth, icky, but what do you think?
(Thu, 09 Sep 2010 23:00:16 GMT)
What do you think of the prenatal process? As well as your thoughts on the birthing process?
And what recommendations would you gave a pregnant woman? Please explain your reasoning for your recommendations.
A lot of people are fascinated with babies and the whole birthing process, but I think its gross. Just my opinion.

Resolved Question: What should I do about my first prenatal visit?
(Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:32:10 GMT)
So I'm 18 years of age and I just found out a few days ago that I'm pregnant. My family and boyfriend are very supportive so I feel at ease.

I just found out I'm pregnant. I need to confirm it with a doctor. I'm in college right now but I'm moving back home around the 6th or 7th month. Should I go to the doctor where I live now? or to the hospital I'll be delivering at? Also, If I did go to the doctor here while I still live here, would it be too complicated to switch doctors when I move?

Open Question: Am I taking too much vitamins and folic acid?
(Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:36:37 GMT)
I am 29 weeks pregnant and my doctor told me that I am low in iron, so he prescribed Ferralet 90 which contains iron, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, vitamin C and Docusate. From the begining of my pregnancy I was given prenatal vitamins, and ever since I am taking Citral Natal Assure which contains folic acid, and many other vitamins. The nurse told me to continue taking my prenatal vitamins in the morning and to take the Ferralet 90 at night. Does anyone know if I am taking too much vitamins and

Open Question: Anemic ~Is this too much iron or has anymore else been prescribed this amount?
(Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:40:00 GMT)
Im 21 weeks pregnant and my dr said I was anemic and to take two iron supplements per day.I switched prenatal today as well for a brand that had a higher amount of iron in it. 27 mg in my prenatal and 27 in the supplement. Im scared the lower prenatal vitamin was the cause for my low iron. Could this much iron be harmful to my baby? dr. didnt say how many mg to take just to take two supplements per day.

Open Question: Isn't Sarah Palin wonderful she rejected an abortion even when she was told her child would have down syndrome?
(Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:25:54 GMT)
Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska is known for being attractive (a former pageant winner, she was featured in a Vogue photo shoot this year), forceful (her opponents have nicknamed her "Sarah Barracuda") and a possible running mate for John McCain. Challenging circumstances now also have made her a shining example of personal pro-life convictions.
In December, her doctor told her that prenatal tests indicated the child she was expecting in May would be born with Down syndrome, a genetic condition th

Right before my Dr. was going to start me on fertility medication my husband and I split. I stopped trying and was convin

Resolved Question: Autism and ultrasound connection?
(Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:40:32 GMT)
Thirty years ago, prenatal ultrasound was almost unheard of unless there were symptoms that there were potential problems with the pregnancy. Autism was also rare and almost unheard of in children.
Now, 30 years later, autism is an epidemic and ultrasounds are performed several times during the pregnancy. Has any research been done to disprove the connection...like the connection between autism and vaccinations? Are parents concerned that the sound waves penetrating the womb have the same eff

Open Question: Seizure-like episode in my sleep?!?

Last night, I had a lot of trouble falling asleep. While I am about 12 weeks pregnant, and do usually have a bit of a problem falling asleep these days, I don't have this many issues with getting to sleep.

Open Question: Opinions on Prenatal Vitamins?
(Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:21:02 GMT)
What prenatal vitamin are all you moms-to-be using? I have been using OB 400 with DHA since before I got pregnant, but I was wondering if any of you are using any over-the-counter prenatals that have worked well? The thing I don't like about the vitamin I'm using (besides the price - $45 for a 30 day supply AFTER insurance pays their portion) is that the DHA leaves a fishy taste in my mouth and some of the capsuls have leaked out which causes all the capsules in the pack to taste very fishy.

The following week, my period started, but only lasted 4 days. This repeated in August, but lasted 3 days. This month, my period was due on the 9th, but it came early, on the 4th.

It's been a week since I found out I was pregnant. Currently, it's about 6 and a half weeks in. I feel sad and slightly apathetic about it at times. I think it may be early pregnancy depression, but I'm not sure. The fact that I am pregnant is not sinking in at all. My breasts are not sore at all, and I don't feel any different. Occasionally I will have a stomach ache or get dizzy, but nothing else. I have this horrible fear that I'm not actually pregnant. Is this normal???? I have my
