Hey, I was curious if any of you had experienced this? I seem to have developed some blotchy brown areas on my breasts, in several places. The best way I can describe them is that it looks like I dabbed self-tanner on myself in a few spots and didn't wash it off. They aren't raised, and feel just like regular skin, so I figure they aren't harmful or anything. I don't have them anywhere else either. Most of them are very small, just slightly bigger than the average mole, but I do have one

My husband and are in week 10 of our first pregnancy. We really wanted to wait to tell our family and friends until week 13 when we are officially in the third trimester to make sure everything is "growing" just fine. However, and elderly family member has fallen ill and is the hospital awaiting surgery and we felt it necessary to tell her about her new great grandchild on the way. Well, if grandma knows, then everyone knows so we had to work our way through the family tree so that nobody's fe

I almost feel like I'm back in my third trimester ... most mornings when I eat now I feel sick and "throwupy". I cough up acidy grossness. Is this normal in the third trimester? *lol* I meant back in my "first". I'm in the my third. Oh geez!

Hello, I will be 31 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child tomorrow, and I noticed on saturday night that my ankles and feet were swollen. My ankles were the worst, you cant tell where my leg ends and my foot begins. They are still swollen, and it is now monday night. My blood pressure has always been perfect at every appt (I just had my last one on the 1st) but It still makes me nervous because I read online that the swelling should go down if you put your feet up for a while, and I don't feel like

My best friend is just about 30 weeks pregnant. Last night, her and her boyfriend had sex, then she noticed she had been bleeding. She said it looked like a lot, but thats only cuz the j.izz was mixed with it. And this morning she had brown discharge. But now there is no more bleeding. She is going to talk to the doctor tomorrow, but i wanted to try and find something on the internet of what it could be, hopefully being something not scary, just to comfort her, and i can't really find anything

Today, I am 12 weeks 5 days pregnant. I had a miscarriage between 7 and 8 weeks on May 26th and got pregnant again immediately after that. During this pregnancy, I've had bleeding off and on since exactly 9 weeks, so of course I have been terrified of miscarrying again. I went to the doctor a week ago today and had an ultrasound that showed a baby measuring spot on (actually a little ahead) and a heart rate of 162, in spite of all the bleeding. I have a home doppler and can hear the baby's

...about the fact that they're stuck in the 50's on this issue? Personally, if I were to impregnate a girl, I would never use abortion as some golden ticket out of a tough situation. Not based on any moral or ridiculous religious belief, but because I would want to care for that child and have always wanted to start a family. With that said, it's NOT my choice. The US supreme court has decided that, if the woman carrying that fetus wants to terminate that pregnancy within a certain timefra

Not really a question, I just thought I would post this article I found. With me personally, it was correct both time. With each of my girls my HCG was very high. *Israeli scientists have demonstrated that levels of maternal serum HCG (MSHCG) – the hormone that reveals in blood or urine tests whether or not a woman is pregnant – are nearly a fifth higher less than three weeks into pregnancy if a woman is carrying a girl than if she is carrying a boy. HCG’s role at the beginning of pregnancy

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

Has anyone else had this later in the third trimester? Sometimes I'll be laying down or sitting down and I'll feel more pain in my mid-back while baby is moving. Sometimes it's on the right, sometimes on the left depending on the movement I guess. Does this mean she's kicking that way or is it simply the movement causing my back to hurt because baby is so much bigger now?

second and third trimesters breakfast = 2apples, 1banana, 2 oranges, 1cup hot chocolate (too much? too little? ok?) Lunch = burger with orange juice OR rice and peas and steak (or chicken bbq) Dinner = 3 potatoes and steak the potatoes are small and crushed.

I am so tired lately, it is hard to sleep at night, my sex drive is through the roof so I am keeping my husband up late at night too, this always happens to me in the third trimester, hormones I guess! But how do you handle the housework and caring for the other kids,making meals and so forth during this time? I never had this issue before, my daughter was 9 my last pregnancy and so she ws fine to play at friends homes and watch tv or read while I rested during the day, and without a toddler

Hi everyone, I am pregnant (almost in my third trimester) and I recently was given the QUAD blood screen. My doctor called and said my baby was at "higher risk" for Down Syndrome. She said the normal rate was 1 in 270 and mine was 1 in 90. They have set up an appointment for me to have a specific type of ultrasound that looks for "markers" that will be able to tell me more. I was also given the QUAD screen in early pregnancy, but those results came back normal. My husband believes my due

Hey. I have a friend who is seven months pregnant, and she has recently in the last month started using the drug dxm, that's found in products such as mucinex dm. Its a cough suppressant. Over dosing on it, results in the user getting a high. anyway, she has been doing this recreationally now for the the past month or so, maybe once a week. She said it feels so good, she just can't help it. Its bad. I'm just concerned. but types of effects would this have on the baby. I can't find anything thr

Just need to know a little bit about pregnancy symptoms. Anyone had bleeding gums and really sensitive teeth in early pregnancy? Yes I do realise it's not meant to happen until the second or third trimester but maybe some people are different? Do not have bad gums or teeth as have been to the dentist but surely this isn't normal? Came on suddenly about a month ago and has not gone away! Feels like my teeth are being pushed into my gums and it's quite painful! Any answers are much appreciated

First time mom here (presently 21 weeks pregnant) totally clueless about what goes on towards the latter part of the third trimester. My question is basically this: will your doctor be able to tell about how much longer you have until you go into labor? Or is it very predictable for most people in the days prior to delivery? I know sometimes it comes on out of nowhere, but I have a logistics problem I'm trying to sort out. I will be moving to South Carolina, but I want to have a waterbirth at

I will be 30 weeks tomorrow, and I have been having a lot of braxton hicks this pregnancy since about 20 weeks. The last couple days though, there seem to be more than normal. They are not consistant but I am having them rather regular. Also I am having some mild cramping, almost like period cramps that are in my back and lower stomach. I have not called my dr cause they go away after a while, and I remember with my daughter I went to the hospital all the time for little things and it was neve

Do you stay at home. take care of your other kids, go to work??? Are you feeling good or not? I'm 35 weeks and a few days, I have my good days, and my not-so-good. I stay at home, and I have 2 other children who are 9 and 7 =]

I am a third time mom expecting my first daughter, and now i'm so tired of being pregnant.I'm 35 weeks, and still work a full-time job. I am always nauseated, have shortness of breath, and my body feels like its going to bust. I've had some spotting for a few days and pressure on my pelvic area that I was thinking could be labor signs. And just getting out of bed, and climbing the stairs is tiresome. I get uncomfortable cramps trying to sleep so I sleep on a million pillows for comfort. With 5

I am 28 weeks & 4 days pregnant. At the beginning of my pregnancy I was constantly nauseous and tired, but that went away when I hit my second trimester. Now that I am days away from being in my third trimester I am starting to get the nausea and fatigue again. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else?

First off, My baby is practically full term, her head is low, paper thin cervix and already 2 cm dilated. [but been dilated the same amount for a GOOD while] I'm not on bedrest or anything because of how far along I am. Very Early today though, i did something EXTREMELY stupid. Helping someone out I ended up running a little. Not much, maybe, about ten to fifteen yards or so. After that, I was on my feet for about 15 minutes. I started feeling slight pressure at my lower abdomen, well, pelvis/

I have worried constantly my whole pregnancy (Forgive me Lord) ... I just bathed my 50/60 pound lab mix .... he put up a fight to come upstairs to get his bath. I had to semi drag him by his collar .... fortunately he jumped in the bath tub. Now my stomach hurts ... and my heart really excellerated when trying to huff & puff to get him to come. Is that bad? I am almost 32 weeks pregnant.

I am 35 Weeks pregnant and I am miserable. I wasn't until yesterday.....My belly dropped. I am so uncomfortable and I just feel gross looking. My legs are lumpy, my feet are fat, I cant shave properly, I have no energy to do my hair or make up. Not to mention I am super stressed over bills and money since I was put on early bed rest at 27 weeks and cant work so we went to one income a lot faster then we had thought. We aren't going to be on the street or anything but its tough. I dream about s

Im in my 27th week and i was just interested on how other people around this stage are feeling. Also i've been looking at different sites and some say im 61/2 months some say 7 months as well as some say im in the second trimester and other say the third. This is my first pregnancy and im really confused.

How far along are you? How are you feeling? Does it seem like it's going by quickly or slowly? Are you nervous about labor? What sex is the baby? What are you naming it? Have you had any stretch marks? How much weight have you gained? I'm 31 weeks with a little boy. We are naming him Brecken. I'm feeling extremely tired ( but I can't sleep) and I have heartburn. Morning sickness seems to be making a comeback as well. Plus I just can't catch my breath. This whole pregnancy has gone by sooooo

What's your take on drinking a little wine during pregnancy. say like a couple glasses of wine a week. My doctor told me that drinking a glass of wine a week would be safe. but every one seems so against it. and just mentioning it, people look at you like your a terrible person, and a bad mom. there is a lot of evidence that a few drinks a week doesn't cause any problems. there's a study that says having no more than 8.5 drinks per week does not raise the chances of having a child born with fa

My BP has been slowly rising at my appointments but this weekend I was feeling funny so yesterday I took my BP and it was 169/111...I went to L and D, they kept me for a while until they got it to drop to 146/97 (still kinda high).....but they had to keep me in a dark room with no visitors, no phone, so tv, and no other "stimuli" as they said before it went down to that. BUT I can't help but feel like they dropped the ball and are not taking my high blood pressure seriously...I mean common, wh

I'm looked everywhere for more information on this and can't seem to find much about pregnant woman losing weight other than in the first trimester. I am overweight but not by a huge amount and I was this same weight with my first two pregnancies and gained between 15-25 pounds during the length of their pregnancies. I'm 31 weeks with my third and I have lost 10 pounds since getting pregnant and all of that weight loss has occured during the third trimester. I wasn't alarmed by not gaining wei

I am 40 weeks along and have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday. I have already dilated 4 cm and have been having contractions (irregular) but none the less contractions. I'm not really on good terms with my doctor since he wasn't my doctor to begin with. I has to move with my husband up north for work reasons and so I ended up with this doctor cause I was already in my third trimester. I have been to the hospital like 3 times for things he didn't even bother checking on. The last time

First off for my contacts, I know I never update anymore, and I've been spending no time on here, sorry! I'm 28 weeks now with my baby girl, doing well, feeling good. She's a feisty little one, and I enjoy every kick. Now that I'm officially in the third trimester I've been thinking more and more about labour, and what my ideal labour would be like. I've read a bit on groaning cakes (cakes baked during early labour), but haven't heard of anyone who has actually tried it. The thought of

OK, You see, my first year of Middle School was extremely stressful and now I have to survive another year! But last year, if you saw my last question my dad got so pissed off about my grades! In my third trimester I stood up and said "I can do it! I can get good grades!" I studied so so hard like you couldn't even imagine! But instead I ended up having C's, D's, and B's. Please don't laugh T_T! My dad acted like he hated me! Now can someone give me tips? Some advice? Not at my middle school y

I am 36 weeks pregnant and my hubby and i had sex a little over 3 hours ago. Afterwards i felt a semi abnormal gush come out of me. I didnt orgasim but he did so i dont think my water broke. But now i feel a tid bit of cramping and have had alot of bowel movements but they are just soft. Since intercource my baby hasnt moved at all except if i pick up my belly and make him mad.

My last period was Feb 12 2010 giving me a due date of November 19th. My fundal height according to my midwife matches up perfect with this due date. But when I went for my ultrasound, the tech told me the baby measured at 22 weeks 4 days which is 3 weeks earlier then we previously thought and a due date of Dec 13th. I read a lot about ultrasounds being off when you are near or in your third trimester, or he could be small i think. I am so confused!!!!! Should I stick with the dates my midwife

I have been told by my doctor to go back on my antidepressants (an ssri) during my pregnancy, (I am now in my third trimester) due to depression, although I discontinued taking them months ago because of the possible side effects to my unborn baby. Side effects may include respitory problems and withdrawal symptoms in a newborn, such as tremors, vomiting, and high pitched cry. Also a newborn is more likely to have to stay in the hospital after birth for medical attention. I chose not to start

Hi :) Did anyone else stack on the weight in the beginning (up until the third trimester) and then not put on too much weight in the end (third trimester)? I have put on 18kgs already and am currently only 32 weeks, but I have only put on 3kgs in the last 7 weeks, so I put on a lot of weight in the beginning. I will happily gain weight still although I would like to keep it to a minimum, well at least if it isn't make sure I am being healthy as I can and if I still gain I know it's all baby
