Pregnancy & Parenting - 6 December 2006

I'm 12 weeks and i had my appointment with my OB this morning. He had to rush away because a lady in the lobby went into labor so i have a few questions I didnt get to ask. I was just wondering why he said not to have sex for 2-3 days. I had a biopsy today because my pap was positive for HPV (no big deal....yet....) and the biopsy has caused me to spot some. He said something about if I had sex it could cause full blown bleeding which could result in miscarriage. Just wondering why a biopsy would be done during pregnancy if it has such a risk? Also, if you remember my post about me being sexually frustrated cuz hubby is scared he will hurt the baby...isnt it ironic that he promised to satisfy me today after the DR appt and the dr. said no sex???LOL how funny is that :( Thanks for your answers.

i need to know if a docotor always checks to see if you have hiv while pregnant or do you need to ask him to do a blood test

(read my last entry you'll know where i'm coming from)

My little girl has the hiccups and she crys at night from them.

So I sleep on the couch as she sleeps on my chest so I make sure she's breathing...

Is this neurodic?

I'm 37 weeks and she is in the head down position and the dr can feel her head but....I think she is hiccupping and sometime they feel really high other times its like in the middle of my stomach. Now it's like right by my ribs and I don't think she is kicking me cause they are steady. These aren't contractions are they? LOL. This is my first and I have no idea what is going on with my body.

Really, 13 or 14 year old girls, that dress like tramps before they have a baby and after. Don't their mothers teach them to close their legs, show them the prices of formula, baby clothes, a trip to the doctor, and how their futures will look with 4 children or do these mothers tell their daughters that the gvt. will support them so don't sweat about it?

I see all these cute little outfits and cant wait to buy my baby cloths, but I'm afraid I will get so many from family and friends that the baby won't be able to wear them all? Did you get a ton of newborn clothes from other people and wish you didn't buy any yourself?

I thought I had lost my mucus plug but now I'm not so sure?? Do anyone have any ideas? is it normal to spot after and exam like that? Only serious answers please!! Thanks!

Me and my bf have been together for 3 years, we are both excited about the pregnancy and we have been very close this whole time. These past couple weeks though he seems distant. He goes hunting every weekend and makes it seem like it's a big deal to stay home cause there is nothing to do( I know hanging with a pregnant chick isn't the most fun you can have..lol.) He isn't going hunting anymore because he knows how close I am. I didn't mind him going because I know he won't be able to do that again for sometime. He's trying to spend time with me I know but we just haven't been that close or intimate(which is partly my fault). Do you think he is just getting nervous about becoming a daddy or what?

I have been sexually active for only about 2 and a half months..
((been with him for over a year now))
He is my first && I am his first. We have had unprotected sex everytime we have done it && he has never pulled out.
&& for the last two months my period hasnt been normal, but I have still had it. Normally its a full 7 days && its only be about 4 days long. I have spotted some. No sore breasts or anything like that..but I have gotten sick && my back hurts.. I know it is possible to have your period && still be pg.. I havent taken a test or anything because I have gotten my period every time..&& I havent acted like I was pg other than the sickness && my back hurting.. I know the wise thing to do would be go to the doctor..But my boyfriend is going to be gone for a couple days && I would rather wait until he returns before I do anything..Any advice? Is it more than likely that I am pg?

I'm 25 and 5 weeks pregnant. It seems to get worse at night time and my nipples stick out a lot. It's a little embarrassing - I'm kinda hoping this doesn't happen during the day at work (scared to look)! Also, extreme tiredness is killing me, all I do is yawn. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

We are trying to conceive. Today I am 7 days past ovulation (dpo), and its too early to take a pregnancy test.

1 dpo No cramping
2 dpo No cramping
3 dpo Very little cramping at night
4 dpo Cramping and sore abdomen
5 dpo A lot of cramping and sore abdomen
6 dpo No cramping and sore abdomen
7 dpo No cramping and sore abdomen

I also have had sore nipples and NO bleeding at all.

So I had the major cramping on 4 dpo and 5 dpo. No real cramping after that.

Is this normal before your period (PMS) or could this be implantation cramps? My period is due a week from now.

My son has a stomach virus and he had a fever of 102.6 I gave him tylenol and it went down too 101.6. I am thinking of bringing him to the ER because his fever is going up and down.

What is considered a high fever? Please let me know, I am planning on taking him either way.

My husband said that his fever is going down and it is not necessary too go, but I am very paranoid and I just want to make sure he is alright...

Thank for responding....

I have reached a point where I don't know how to help any more.
He sees his years in school as a continuum of bullying, constant unhappiness and that breaks my heart as I know it isn't the case!
He was abused quite seriously by a classmate & gang when he was five. That was nicely brushed under the carpet and not seriously dealt with, so I moved him to my school, where I ended up teaching him myself for 2 years (nightmare, but better than feeling that he wasn't looked after properly elsewhere). He did have problems with other kids in that school too, although most of those knew me and respected me enough to 'go easy'... But obviously, there had to be something about my son for this to happen again?
I changed jobs to go part-time so as to make more time for him and so he went to the local school for his last year in primary. Again, there were problems with name-calling and hassle, which were kept under control by very efficient staff there.
Now it's started again in high school!

My brother is 6 yrs older and my sister 6 yrs younger. My husband's brother is 7 yrs younger and his sister 14 yrs. We would like our children to grow up together and be friends from the git go, not grow into it as adults or worse not at all. What do you suggest is the best age difference?

Our little boy is due on 18 January 07. I love the name Daniel, but we probably won't use it because its too high up in the 'most popular names' polls. We really like Luke too and this is our fav at the moment. We also like Nathan, but I read an article sometime ago which refered to Nathan as a 'chavvy' name.....would you agree with this? How popular is Nathan these days? I don't know any little boys called Nathan, and I love it. That stupid article has just put me off!! I'm all ears for some ideas on names too, we like classic, strong, boys names. Thank you!
