Im not sure neither is OB right now at how far along i am because i had a m/c before this preg. with no period inbetween so we are trying to estimate anywhere between 6-9 wks. i had an u/s done on wed. only a sac appeared so went and had bloodwork taken my levels were 24,000 on wed. and dropped to 19,500 fri. is it at all possible that this preg. is viable.

if i am only 6wks. then its normal not to see anything on a u/s but why are my levels decreasing?

i need good information i know what the worst could be and im prepared so i dont want to hear it if your just going to say im m/c, i need some hope and miracle stories from others who have experienced this.

Hello I have some questions for you guys

1. What's the best way to explain what Braxton Hicks feel like?
2. Is menstral like cramps a sign that labor is approaching?
3.My Dr. said my cervix is starting to thin out I'm due in 3 more weeks does this mean I may go early?
4. My baby seems to be never sleeping he is always poking, kicking and punching me does this mean he may be hyper active when he's older?

I've read you can't eat deli meat because it can carry certain bacteria, but does lunch meat (sliced turkey, ham, etc. that you buy already cut in a bag) count as deli meat? I love turkey & peanut butter sandwiches!!!

I am 5 ways away from my due date, and I went to bed last night feeling really yucky. I woke up this morning and have the worst head cold. I really want to have the baby, and wanted to help labor progress by walking, and the usual sex but I am too tired, I don't feel good, and I don't want to go into labor sick. Any ideas on how to bet rid of this cold. Its Sunday and I can't call the doctor to find out what will help, but I have slept almost all day! I just have a tone of pressure in my head!

Or could all the bouncing around eject the foetus?

2007-07-29 10:44:44 · 23 answers · asked by Anonymous in Pregnancy

I know it means the foetus has been aborted from your womb but I found this very upsetting when I went through my second pregnancy and a nurse said " I see you previously had an abortion" It made me feel as if she thought I had deliberately got rid of my child.

There have been conflicting med. opinions on this subj. I was wondering if there's anyone who has taken this road.I know alot of people state that they would rather have c-secs.I personally disagree.I was much more miserable the second time around with the c-sec than the first when I delivered vaginally.Any medical experts out there who can help??

Knowing when they have to go?
Being able to pull up/down their pants and underpants? (what about pants with buttons and zippers?)
Being able to go to the bathroom by themselves?
Not needing a diaper at night?
Being able to use any bathroom (even away from home) by themselves?
The ability to hold it if they have to? (if there's no restroom nearby)

My son is 3 years old and goes by himself at home. But I still put him in a diaper at night. When we're out, we need to accompany him because there's no stepstool in public restrooms or at friends' homes. My son can manage snap buttons but not the kind with buttonholes. He can zip/unzip though.

Seems like everyone has a different definition of "fully" so I'm curious as to what you all think.

Thanks for sharing your opinions.

Best regards,
mari

I’ve been an elementary teacher going on my tenth year. When I first started teaching just about every child at the school wore shoes and socks. Today I would say about half my students either wear sandals, flip flops or shoes with no socks. The district handbook says no flip-flops, but the school does not enforce it because of parent’s complaining their child is being singled out. I have had two students fall and hurt themselves due to wearing improper footwear. I have also noticed the kids do not move as well on the playground when not wear sneakers. I'm worried these kids are going to have a hard time wearing real shoes when they get older not to mention the foot problems they will have from wearing shoes with poor support. Don't get me started on the smell when one of these "no sock" wearing kids take their shoes off!

Do you let your child wear sandals and flip flops to school? Do you think schools should require proper well fitting shoes with socks?
