Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 September 2006

OK, here's my story. I am 38 weeks pregnant. On Tuesday I had an ultrasound and they estimate that the baby weighhs 9lbs. 2oz. Keep in mind that this can be off by a pound. My doctor is going to induce me next Wednesday. He also said that I can opt to have a C-section if I want right away because of the size of the baby. The Dr. gave me the facts but no real advice as to what I should do. What do you think?

Where did your labor pains hurt? I have this sudden stabbing pain in the middle part of my back that comes and goes and at the same time pains in the upper part of my uterus. I always heard that labor pains were in your lower back and lower part of your uterus. Could it still be labor? My due date was yesterday.

I know this is a silly quesiton and I try to refrain from doing so...but I had to ask. People you don't know seem to give honest answers where as people who know you try not to hurt your feelings. And I put it in "Pregnancy and Parenting" because this is where I normally answer questions. Thanks for your responce!

I was due to ovulate somewhere around aug. 17 to the 22. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex around those dates. I took a p.t. a few days ago and it was neg. I have missed my MC by a little over a week. Is it still to early to test, considering my ovulation date was so late??? I have also been having crampiness, and bloating. As well as I am tired a lot on top of that about 4 days ago my nipples have become very sore and tender to the touch?! Someone please help me?!!? Im so confused!!!

i just went to the dr yesterday for a ultrasound because I've had some spotting. The dr hoped that with the u/s they could pinpoint why I was spotting. Well the u/s showed that everything looked great and that BOTH babies (surprise surprise) had strong heartbeats. I'm only 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. Baby A measured 6 1/2 weeks but baby B only measured 6 weeks 1 day. Why the difference? They are in separate sacs but I don't understand the difference in size. The dr said that with it being this early there is the chance of baby b doing the vanishing twin thing but he didn't really think that was gonna be the case because they both had really strong heartbeats. I go for another u/s in two weeks to check things out but does anyone know why there could be such a difference?

My wife isn’t pregnant yet, but hopefully will be soon since we are going to try for a baby in a few months.

I heard pregnant women should not be in a house that has paint fumes in it.

We have one of our rooms picked for a nursery.

Should I paint the room now while she is not pregnant?

Or should I paint it when she is pregnant but make her leave the house all day?

The room was our guest bedroom, but is now nearly empty.

I thought my nipples were normal until I tried to breastfeed my baby. Even my doctor didn't think there'd be a problem. My baby couldn't latch on, however, and she hated the nipple shields. Is there any way I can make my nipples normal before I have another baby? I don't want to miss out on breastfeeding just because of this.

I had my ultrasound done today and they told me I'm six weeks but they did not detect cardiac activity. She said my hormone levels were normal but my progesterone was a little low. She prescribed Prochieve but I think I'm going to miscarry. Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm just curious. Did you do it because of his dad being circed? Or cosmetic reasons? Did you do any research before hand? If so, did you use reputable sources like the AAP? Please don't turn this into a debate, I am truely just curious!

My church choir has the awesome opportunity to go to NYC for a music conference for 6 days (leaving late Thurs returning early Weds). My dilemma is that I am still nursing my 6 mo. old daughter who will turn 7 mo. while I am away. She already receives bottles intermittently, but I nurse mostly. I don't know if I should try to pump some while I am away and then try to re-establish my full supply when I return, or if I should just stop before going. I wanted to take her with, but that was the deal-breaker, Dad will be keeping baby and her 2 big brothers, and he said if he is taking vac. days to watch the boys, he wanted to spend time with his baby girl, too...so I am blessed in that respect.

Of course I am not literally starving, I had breakfast and am just waiting for lunch to be ready but was just curious. I am pregnant (9 months) and was just wondering if I am feeling really really hungry is the baby experiencing the same feeling?

I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow, and will ask her then, but wanted to know if any of you have asked your doctors about it. I feel a cold coming on, and it's the last thing I need right now! Airborne has always seemed to help.
