Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 August 2006

My friend just told me she was raped by this guy she didn't even know at a party she went to a ouple of weeks ago and now she found out she's pregnant. And she said her parents will kick her out of the house bcuz they said they wouldn't support her if she ever got pregnant. She's only 15 and I'm still trying to persuade my parents [who don't know yet] to let her live with me..I need to know how I can help my friend?

I work for a dentist so I really try to make sure I am always on time for any of my kids dr's appointments, cause I know how annoying it is for a patient to be late and make the dr run behind. I have to take my daughter to a specialist at a hospital 2 hours away every three months. I always try to leave early but if there is a wreck or something on the freeway, you can't help running late. The last time I took her that is what happened and we were 15 minutes late. After I signed her in no one even spoke to me for another 25 minutes. They just left me in the waiting room. Finally the receptionist called me to the counter and said "The doctor may not be able to see her because her appt. was almost 45 mins ago." Well no kidding. They let me sit there, I guess to teach me a lesson, for 25 minutes. The doctor did see her, but does anyone else think that was just nuts? I cant complain to the dr cause he just works for the hosp. as an employee, it is not his office.

My mother decided to invite all of her friends over to admire this antique chair she bought at an auction for $10,000.00 She had saved for this for a while- the chair was a wooden artifact from Greece I think- had history to it. Anyways she told me not to sit in the chair because of my weight problem- Im 300 lbs- But I took offense to her saying that to me. She told me not to sit in the chair because it was an artifact and not something she wanted to be used for furniture UNLESS the person was the right weight- which made me angry because 2 of the guests coming were given permission to sit in the chair when they got there. So before the guests came I decided to prove to my mother that I wasn't too fat to sit in the chair- and I sat in it, and it broke! Like I fell over and hurt myself. My ,other screamed and wouldnt even ask if I was okay. When the guests came she had a broken chair and she accussed me of wasting her money- she wont speak to me and her friends all laughed. What do i do

the ultrasound, but she's pry too small, I don't feel the movements yet. I know the normal range for it is 18-20weeks for the first pregnancy.This is my first. But a friend of mine felt her first baby movement at 14 weeks(wonderful boy, first pregnancy too). So, I know I might feel them earlier too, who knows.Just can't wait. Actually I have gas and feel movements in the baby area.(but I know it is gas, as I'm passing it out a few seconds after).Can it be that I'm wrong and this is actually the baby?
When did you feel your first baby's moves?

I am 34 weeks pregnant and smoked pot for about two weeks, once a day, totalling about 6 hits from a bong each time. I know it was stupid. I will not do it again. I was only thinking of myself and not my baby. I realize what I did and am now fixing it but what I need is for someone to tell me if I have around 45 days left of my pregnancy will I test positive for pot when the baby is born and they test her? No insults, no jokes. If that is what you have then just go to another question because I really need and answer, please.

Is it too soon to start explaining to them about sex, how the body works, pregnancy, things of that nature?
I just don't want them to be naive to what goes on around them at such a young age.

I am not pregnant- just a curious gal. So, how does contractions feel? How painful is it from the 10inch dialation? Can you describe the pain in some way so I can picture how it feels/ where you feel it because I can't imagine feeling something inside of me open that wide and/or painful *ew* does it feel like a PMS cramp?

I concieved on the 23rd of July and when i got my positive test i went and saw a doctor on the 8th of August, however she did all those tests and everything plus she used the ultrasound (which is weird at this stage) to see what happening inside, she was not able to see the baby's sac she told me that it might be too soon she just saw that my utirus is in ready form for pregnancy. Is this normal??? I mean should she be seeing a sac or something else??? I dont know what to expect this is why i'm confused

In Oregon, on Oregon Medicaid, both parents not married, no income, (students), but living together. Is it better not to put father's name on birth Certificate so Medicaid does not come after the father for birth costs? (IF they do come after the father for costs) Thanks for all your info.

Okay... I have had my membranes stripped 3 times (I was confused until recently exactly what "stripping the membranes was... now knowing it is where your health care provider will separate your bag of water from your cervix). Well, as I was saying, I have had this done 3 times now - at 38 weeks, 39 weeks, and yesterday at 41 weeks. The first 2 times I had spotting for the rest of the day. However yesterday, even though she was quite rough, I didn't have any spotting. Well, this morning, I had a lot of contractions (not "regular" ranging from 5-15 minutes apart for about 4 hours). I have not had a contraction in about 5 hours now, and just went to the restroom and had a bit of mucus with some blood streaks in it. Anoyone out there know if you can still lose your mucus plug if the doctor strips your membranes or do you think this (more than 24 hours later) could be result of stripped membranes.... ???????? Thanks!!!!
