Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 October 2007

Hello,

Firstly, I am 22 yrs old and My husband and i have been trying for a baby. I had a miscarriage @ 6 weeks in July and I think i may be pregnant again...I am having all of the same symtoms as before and i am 8 days late which is EXTREMLEY UNLIKE My cycle.

I am going to take a test tomorrow AM. If i am pregnant should a HPT show up as poitive at this point?

Also If i am pregnant i will be approx 5 wks and 1 day, (my last period was 23rd September) How soon could i request an ultrasound scan as i want to make sure that this baby is okay and put my mind at rest because of the previous miscarriage.

Thank you very much :o)

HI everyone, as Ive said Im 38 weeks + 4days and for the past few days Ive been having a period like cramping feeling, its not really painful just feels achey. Anyway, today Ive been having a few pains in my back (not too many) but at 5am I got up and came downstairs for a drink, all of a sudden I got this really sore pain from the top of my belly that moved right down it before going away. My belly also went rock hard. As its my first, I haven't a clue whats going on lol (niave i know) I genuinely thought maybe things were starting but I haven't experienced it since. Still feeling crampy and baby's moving fine. Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on, don't wanna ring midwife with stupid questions! Thanks and sorry for rambling on x

My husband has decided in my last few weeks of pregnancy that he is not in a "good place" emotionally right now. As a result, I don't feel like I can count on him to help me through the delivery and afterwards. I don't want to spend the money on a Doula ($800), my parents are not the type to be good in the delivery room, and I have no close friends locally that could help. I also am embarassed by this whole situation, and don't really want to drag others into it. Is it unusual to show up to deliver a baby alone? Can it be done? My husband went to Lamaze with me, but he was miserable and thinks it's all a bunch of BS. I just don't think I can rely on him to be supportive and help out. I am even thinking of asking a cousin of mine to come help take care of the baby afterwards. Any advice?

Hi friends,
I'm in Dubai,UAE. Yesterday we went for medical checkup. I am 8 weeks pregnant and my periods were regular most of the time and the previous 3 months it was irregular and doctor said I am anemic and suggested medicines which i took regularly. In between I got conceived and we tested with pregnancy kit and it showed positive subsequently we went to one doctor and she too confirmed. We were asked to come for scan and by now I am 8 weeks pregnant. My last period was on 27th August 2007 and yesterday 28th October 2007 we went for scanning. They carried out the scanning and said they are not able to hear the heart beat. On the scan report they have mentioned " LATE CONSUMPTION , MISSED ABORTION SUGGESTED ". I called up the doctor today morning and she told it means the feutus is almost 99% dead and 1% chances are there. Just before the scan I had three glasses of water. We are going for scanning after 10 days again to confirm. Please advice me and i want my baby. - Poongs

I am 37 weeks now, so getting close! I am quite sure that I will get an epidural if pain becomes unbearable during labour..I will try the gas and air first but I dont see the point of being in more pain than necessary, when I dont have to!

However...I keep having everyone tell me not to get the epidural, my mother, my mother in law etc...they act like I am being a wimp, and say 'well we done it, so can you'! I even had a friend, who is not and has never been pregnant say (in a really irritating way) 'Well when I give birth I am going to do it without any pain med, just to say that I have done it'...I mean, its not a competition amongst women as to who is the 'strongest'!!!!

Why do some woman act like this, like they are better than those who decide to take the epidural, it is driving me crazy!!!

OK I just asked:
"Breasts leaking? Is this normal?
I'm expecting my first baby any day now. Through the pregnancy Ive been getting little drops of milk out of my breasts, but I haven't rely gotten the 'mommy boobs' yet.
For some reason tonight its like a steady drip. I cant understand it, could it be something I did? I didn't take my shower any hotter, and I am wearing my favorite night shirt, I didn't use soap on them or do anything out of the ordinary...
I put pressure on it, put on a snug sports bra, I tried taking everything off them and not touching them, nothing is helping it. Its just a few drops at a time but its steady, and its hasn't gone away in about an hour.
Is this normal? When does it normally happen?"

and one person responded with:
"yes its normal. your body is preparing your baby. clear sign your gonna go into labor any minute."

Is that true? Ive been expecting any moment for a week or so now, I'm already 3cm dilated and 100% engaged, could this be it or just bs?

what would his nick name be?.. all daddy can think of is "the Ro-Man.." cute, but i wonder what he'll be called by others..

i hate Ro, my mom used it disrespectfully. when i told her what we were naming him she said she didn't like Ronan, that she'd just call him Ro.. so that one is out..

I am on my 3rd pill of my first cycle of clomid. I was wondering how long did it take for those of you that conceived using this to find out that you were expecting? How do I know when I am fertile and ovulating? Also did anyone experience stomach cramps while taking it?

2007-10-28 20:47:51 · 1 answers · asked by Danielle 2 in Trying to Conceive

Do you think that a baby is a human at the moment of conception? or when they are actually born? Do you think abortion is right or wrong? Do you think the morning after pill is just as bad as abortion? I am just curious what others think of this....Thanks for all your answers!!

I have had a late night call to go away and solve yet another Family "crisis" and once again I get resentment from my Grandsons' Mother about it being "short notice" when I only just got the news and at the same time she says I could have 'phoned this morning not late last night when I have to travel early and that would have meant even shorter notice!
Anyhow just to say there is no need for anyone to post any messages about me pretending to be concerned about where I am because I have just told you - I am away looking after my Family so there's no need for those that I blocked to use another question to continue the assault on me like in the first link I gave in this question -

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20071028174633AACoL7J

But if you want to : clone and moan away - my *Family* are more important to me as the "Best Answer" that I have just chosen in the above linked question has pointed out.
Have fun.
Best wishes,
Joan.

My 9-month-old baby keeps trying to escape from restaurant high chairs. He's really skinny so the belt on the chair is useless on him. He just squirms and then stands up in the high chair. I can't keep him in.

I've also tried the shopping cart cover which has its own belt and he escapes out of that as well.

I have no idea what to do. I end up putting him in a stroller but he cries because he can't see everyone around him. In a high chair he's actually quiet...but he tries to stand up. He doesn't do it at home because his high chair at home has a 5-point harness.

Any tips on how to get him to just sit?

Thanks for the advice.

My husband likes the name Randy. I, for some reason, think of a red head Southern boy when I hear or say it. What do you think?

she always ends up crying. her mother rubs olive oil and it works for a while but then it starts again. The baby is only about 6 months old. Is there any treatment for this? Is there anything her mother should use besides the oil?
