We're looking into trying to have our second child, but the town I'm living in doesn't have a hospital that delivers babies. (Yeah.. it's small.. you have no idea). Is it possible to be induced by request? I was induced the last time I was pregnant, and it went fine. The closest town I'd feel safe having a child in (that has a NICU) is 90 miles away.

I used to take scalding hot showers. I'm pregnant and have cooled the water quite a bit, but my husband says it's still much too hot. Does anyone know what temperture is okay? I use a thermometer and it usually reads between 99 and 105 degrees when I test the shower water. Too hot?

I wont be in to see the doctor till sept 20th.My asthma hasnt been bad really in years, but I since I got pregnant there are times when Ifeel like I need it. So I can either take it or goon and try to ignore that Im having a little trouble breathing. I mean Im not having attacks. just a little difficulty, and normally I would just take my inhaler and be fine. Now I dont know what the best thing to do is, just wondering if anyone has had the same problem.

I recently stopped breastfeeding after 6 months. He kinda weaned himself over the past month, so my breast milk went down little by little. I'm finding that whenever someone or something bumps into my boobs that they really really hurt! They don't hurt until someone bumps into them. I'm not at all engorged. I doubt I have mastasis or an infection. Did your breasts hurt after you stopped breastfeeding? If not, any ideas?

I'm at 11 1/2 weeks and have been cramping for a couple of days. Nothing strong, and no bleeding, but I did get really dehydrated last week and had to be admitted to the hospital. Could that have really hurt the baby and cause a miscarriage?

My wife and I have been together for 5 years.

My wife is 23 years old.

She has mentioned to her parents the idea of us having a baby.

Her father was happy, her mother was not.

After a lot of mean comments from her mother, my wife confronted her.

Her mom said she felt my wife had no patience for a child and would “snap” at her children when she was frustrated.

She said my wife would not be a good mother until she has “worked” on herself.

I was stunned because my wife is patient, kind, loving, etc. and is a good wife and “mother” to our dog.

My wife said she is never good enough for her mother.

My wife has a college degree, a house & cars paid off, and a happy life and her mother is still not happy for her.

My wife cut her mother off for 6 months and went to a therapist because of her mother.

We are now seeing her parents twice a month, but they don’t know we are trying to conceive.

How do we deal with her mother when she finds out?

Has anyone take this antidepressant in pregnancy and has anyone had any really bad experiences?

I've been on it for several years and when I found out I was pregnant went straight to my doctor. He told me to continue with my regular dose (40mg) as "the benefits outweighed the risks" to the baby and lots of women apparently take this drug in pregnancy and have healthy babies.

I started reading all sorts of horrible stories about Paroxetine in pregnancy and decided I wanted to come off it, so with my doctor's agreement I started cutting down my dose gradually. However, the withdrawal effects kicked in and I just couldn't cope. so they put me back up to 20 mg daily.

Now I'm really worried for my baby. Both my GP and my Ob/Gyn Consultant are unworried and say the only effects are a chance he might have a reaction after birth and have to stay in SCBU for a few days (and I really don't want that for him! No mother does!) But the internet suggests all sorts of awful effects.

I know that everyone is different, but I just wanted to hear personal experiences. I am 38 wks. and 2 days I think and was told I am 75% effaced, but not dilated any. How long did it take before YOU went into labor and were at this point? I just like to read others experiences. I figure I'll carry until my due date, I just wanted to hear your stories!! Oh and what signs of impending labor did you have?

I recieved a bill for $400.00 dollars because my doctor somehow said that he took this test Cystic Fibrosis and he said that all pregnant women gets this test done.
The problem is he never took that test for me and he seems to be charging me for it. I really want to know what exactly is it, it sounds like some type of cyst.
However, I asked him about it and he said that it is a lung type of test that all gynocoligist do on pregnant women. This is my 4th pregnancy and I have never been exposed to that type of testing. I believe that he is up too no good, he is trying to get money from me. Please let me know if any of you women have ever been in a situation like this? Thank you, for reading.....

My wife and I have been together for 5 years. We have decided to get pregnant soon with our first child.

My wife gets jealous/upset when she sees other women she knows with their babies.

She also gets upset when she finds out her friends are pregnant.

Its worse if her friend hasn't been with the baby's father that long.

She told me she wants to cry when she goes to her friend's house because she has a toddler and infant and my wife wants that so bad.

She says when she holds babies she feels horrible inside.

She has wanted to get pregnant for about a year now and I have seen her cry a few times because of not having a family yet.

Is it normal for women to be jealous/upset like this?

I had a tubal ligation 4 years ago. I understand a eptopic preganacy is more common but can you have a real pregnancy after. I am a week late and have been having some symptoms like some non sever pain in my ribcage just below my brest, slight breast tendernes and a cramp or pain in my lower stomach on the left side. I haven't had any nausea and the pregnancy tests I took both say negative. Will a eptopic pregnancy show up on a home test?

What should my cervix feel like at this point? It's farther back and not pointed down like it was before I became pregnant. If there was something wrong with anything (like incompetent cervix or something) would my OB have been able to detect it at my 20wk ultrasound? Do they always look at things like that stuff ? Thanks 1st pregnancy!!!!!!!!
