Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 November 2006

My husband and I both work two jobs and I got pregnant. We were stupid, i'll admit, and didn't have health insurance. We applied for Medicaid and they said that the only way they would help us is if I quit both my jobs and he quit one of his and cut back on his hours on his other one. Meanwhile, there are people out there without any job at all and they keep popping kids out left and right because they know that someone elses tax dollars are going to pay for it. Whatever happened to helping those that help themselves?

I recently got a job at Target in the back room/stock room. My job consists of lifting heavy boxes up to 50 lbs and climbing 15 foot ladders while lifting heavy boxes. We have been trying to concieve now for months. If I were to get pregnant they would find another job for me that would be less stressful on me and the baby. The thing is, what if I am pregnant now and dont know it for sure yet? I have a gut feeling that I am. I wont really know until around the 18th. If I am pregnant, is it harmful to me and the baby working such a physically demanding job? Is it too early for it to even cause any harm? Thank you!!!

and i am sooooo uncomfortable, i have been getting really bad cramps in my lower belly which come with back pain as well for the past 3 weeks and has never progressed into labour. i have tried suggestions from family and friends to try and get comfortable but nothing so far has helped!
all i want is to go into labour ( i know its unlikely my baby will actually be born on the due date). i have been told to try sex but thats out of the question its way to uncomfortable no matter what way we try it! and obviously hasn't worked, walking is also out of the question because, well i just dont have the energy!.
does anyone have any suggestions on how i could get comfortable? or maybe something that could help hurry things up safely? the hospital won't induce me unless i am ten days over! :(. im sorry for being such a cry baby i am just so uncomfortable and its really hard to take care of my son while my partner is at work because i cannot bend down now!!!!.... any advice would be great!

How many women pregnant or new moms ate instant soup or cup noodles during pregnancy. Some say i shouldnt eat it due to the MSG, and some have never heard of this. I'm about 17 weeks along. Thanks!

I had a miscarriage in September and had to have a d&c. Well my period started back again October 6 and lasted a long time, like 11 days when it normally lasts only 6. But anyway me and my partner started havin sex after my period stopped and we were tryin to have another baby, which the doctor said was okay to do. Well I guess I missed my ovulation date in October and started my period on the first of November, Well I did some calculations with the help of the internet to see how long it is in between my periods which came to 27 days. According to the ovulation calendar I ovulated today and me and my partner have been havin sex all week the last time being around 11 pm yesterday. What are the chances you think I could be pregnant. my next period is supposed to start on the 28 and my next doctor appointment is on the 27. Implantion is supposed to be between the 21-24 and i cant wait to tell. I read that some people can tell when they are ovulating because they get a pain in their side
