Before you answer please take a second to read my story. I'm 34, expecting baby No 1 in December. I am an "emetophobic" (phobia of vomiting) which means I get into a terrible panic state if I even think I might be sick (last time I was sick I went into actual shock). I'm also terrified of hospitals!!

It would be easier for me to have a homebirth but thats not possible because I am taking anti-depressants (Paroxetine) which my doctor has advised me to continue throughout my pregnancy. I need to give birth in a hospital in case the baby has any withdrawal from the Paroxetine (I wanted to stop taking it but Dr advised me against that).

Because of my phobia I am terrifed of nausea/vomiting in labour and my Ob/Gyn Cons has advised me to therefore have a waterbirth and avoid having narcotics to avoid any sickness from the drugs. But all mothers I've asked seems to think that it isn't possible to have a first baby unmedicated because of the pain and length of labour. Opinions?

Personally, I don't think it would look bad, but I would hate for others to get a bad impression of him. He's a nice kid and smart, too. Am I being too liberal? He's been asking for about a year. Yes, I do care what others think. I work in the school that he attends. Thank you for your help.

My implantation date would have been on or around August 15ish. I haven't had very much breast tenderness (a very, very little bit maybe) but I've been having cramping in very low abdomen (like I was going to get my period) on and off since the 15th. I've been having TERRIBLE heartburn at night, getting warm all of a sudden for no reason...EATING LIKE A PIG!!!! and small headaches, VERY VERY moody. I am having that "feeling" that I could be pregnant, but some people say it could just be my period coming, which is due 08-24-2006...does it SOUND like I could be in the early stages of pregnancy? Taking a PT tomorrow.

My daughter completely fights taking her naps and has a temper tantrum. I have extended her awake time, but if she stays up too long she is overtired and then has a meltdown. I have tried singing to her, darkening the room, rocking her, letting her cry(which doesn't last long bc I feel bad since she gets so worked up)...you name it. I know she is tired, so she needs her sleep, but I don't know what else to do?

About a week since I LAST I had sex, I took a pregnancy test (my period comes every 20 days and it was around the 23 day mark) but it proved negative. About 5 days later I took a second test (being paranoid) but it said positive. About 2 days later I got my period along with very painful cramping so I took a couple tylonel 3's (I haven't had that bad of cramping in years.) The thing with that period is that (sorry for about the details here) hardly anything showed up on my pad- just spotting, but the weird thing is as soon as I sat on the toilet to go pee, blood would leak out (for the first 2 days.) This period lasted for around 12 days (although pretty light for the most part.) So I had a period, and I have no symptoms of pregnancy, therefore,I can't be pregnant, right? Just a false positive?

Quick question.

My last period was july 14th and I was due to get it again on august 14th,I am currently about 8 days late and I was wondering if I should start considering taking a test.I've been late many times in the past due to weather changes and what not but I dont know,something is telling me that something's not right this time around.
The last few days i've had a few stomach cramps here and there,and im a little queasy,I pretty much feel the biginning symptomes of my period,but I read somewhere that that could also be a sign of pregnancy.
So my question is,how many days do I need to be late in order to get myself tested.And well at this point,do I need to start worrying??

How many of you got negative results a few days before you missed your period,but found out later you are indeed pregnant? My period is due July 23rd,and I took the 1st Response test this afternoon. I feel pregnant,and we are TTC so did everything we needed to on time this month. {So I thought}...I am just curious how accurate these things are a few days sooner like they advertise.
