Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 September 2007

Okay my hubby and I decided to name our boy Seth Michael, and our girl Alicen Faith, but the only problem is i don't want the traditonal Faith, I want something a little different spelling. Anyone know any cute ways to spell it?

Ok, I'm due on 9/21 (tomorrow) and I woke up in the middle of the night and i noticed my sweat pants i slept in were wet. I thought maybe i just had urine leakage. so I changed.....I woke up 2 hours later and my panties were soaked. So i changed again......About 4 hours later I seen clear mucus in my panties (i lost a bloody mucus plug 2 weeks ago as well). DO YOU THINK THE WETNESS WAS MY WATER BREAKING OR JUST PEE??? I called the doctor's office and i was told that if it was my water i would still be leaking and not to worry. I am having some pain on and off. Should I not worry and not think it was my water breaking???

is it safe to take ibuprophen when you think you might be pregnant, i know tylenol is best and you should steer clear of motrin but is there anything else you should take that's over the counter??

I asked a question before about libido during pregnancy and it seemed split down the middle. Half the women had no interest and half the women noted said they had an increase in sexual desire.

I started wondering what the baby's gender was in relation to a rise or drop in sexual tendencies during pregnancy, so.... did you have more or less interest in sex during pregnancy and did you have a boy or a girl.

I'm an expectant father and I'm writing a book and blog http://blog.almostadad.com for expectant fathers on living with and caring for pregnant women.

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

this is my situation..........

my husband and i have been trying to concieve and i have been taking the ovulation test and we are having intercourse when my surge is detected. well this month i truely thought i was pregnant.

i had almost all the signs! i was getting headaches, cramping almost a week before my missed period, i was nausious.....i never threw up but it's very unlikely for me to do that because i was never the one for throwing up even when i was little.......i've also been tired a lot more, my breasts have been pretty sore, and i've been peeing a heck of a lot.

sounds pretty good so far doesn't it? here's where the horror strikes!!!!

i got my period the day i was suposed to! (yesterday) and the first day was light and little on the pinkish brown side with a lot of cramping, but today it was heavier and more red with no cramping.

does this mean that i was never pregnant? or does it mean that i had a misscarage and just don't know it???

please help! thanks

9/17 Mon, I had a blood test and Ultrasound at 5 weeks and a day pregnant. Ultrasound showed that I have a "sac" but they couldn't see anything inside(no baby..) and I had another blood test on 9/19 Wed, my blood test results(hCG level) are first one(9/17) was 1312, and second one(9/19) was 3181. I was worrying about blighted ovum a little. as you see this hCG levels i still have a high chance to have blighted ovum? I don't have any bleeding but sometime mild cramps.

My usually normal flow period was especially light this month. Could I be pregnant?
My normal period flow is for about 5 days, 3-4 full (super) tampons a day. It's been this way for almost 10 years. This month however, it was only 3 days, and you only notice the flow when you wipe. ( a splash or two on the tampon, nothing in undies). I took a pregnancy test on the day that the spotting occured and it was neg. It stopped the day before yesterday (monday) so I took a test again yesterday and got a negative result! I took one again today and still NO! Could I still be pregnant? I'm so frustratingly tired of the BFNs! Please offer some rays of hope. All answers and personal experience welcome! Thanks in advance.

Could my weight have anything to do with it? I am a little overweight. Actually about 30 pounds overweight.

I know that young babies of course will have no purpose going regarding candy, but it sure would be fun to show off a little bundle of joy all dressed up. Is there an age thats too young to take a baby and people will think youre nuts for even bothering?

So I had my period Aug 1st- 5th. Had unprotected sex everyday for a week or so after. Im having signs of breast pain and heaviness, bloating around the bellybutton, and mild cramping. All has been goin on for a couple days. Is this a good sign that Im pregnant and is the cramping cause by implantation? Please help, I shouldnt get my next period until the 28th or so.

How would you go about sneaking out of the house at night?

Also, I'm not asking whether or not you think I should sneak out, so please don't reply to this question like I am.

I don't want any, 'You shouldn't be sneaking out anyway!' answers.

Thanks!

I am 38 wks pregnant and 2 days ago I had sex with my husband...like 3 hours later i started having contractions but they were coming every 2 minutes and baby was moving a lot, I didn't know if I was in labor so I decided to wait and I did,the contractions stopped after 2 hours and I was a little worried. Did this happen because I had sex with my husband? And if it happens again should I go to the emergency room? Thanks
