Pregnancy - September 2006

kind of wierd but I am 25 weeks pregnant and my cervix is open just a little bit. like for the tip of my finger. I check because when my sister had her baby she was dialated to 4 and didn't even know it. Is this ok or should i be concerned?

Ok, so I dont understand why people say false labor. If youre having pain and all that stuff ... and your not in labor isnt it just .... being in pain and NOT labor??? Why is it "false" labor just cuz it's not labor? When a woman (who's not preg) throws up they dont call it "false pregnancy" .. she just threw up. I hope this isnt confusing. I just dont get why such a title would be put on something that is normal in pregnancy. What do you think? I guess what I'm trying to say is that they should even put labor in there if it's just pain.

My boobs have been hurting really BAD for the past week, i have been getting off and on headaches for a couple of days, i've been dehydrated and I feel like I have a UTI. I'm only about a week late, but I spotted about a week and a half ago. I've been off of birth control for about 3 months. Is this my body just getting used to being off of them?

Hi. This is the first time I've been pregnant. I go back to my OB one week from today for my first ultrasound. I will discuss my concerns w/her until then I want some advice/input please.

I blew up about a week ago(7 1/2 wks preggo then). My stomach is harder than usual-- no tummy roll-- just bigger and rounder. I thought you dont start showing until month 3- 5 and my tummy being a little harder?!?! I do NOT have morning sickness so my friends say thats why I may be rounder now and showing earlier.

My mothers side of the family has a history of twins-- could that be passed to me and thats why Im bigger?

I only gained 4 LBS in the 8 weeks.

I just think this is weird because everyone says usually you dont show for the first 3 mopnths at least....................


Thanks for your input I appreciate all the answers!

I am 39 weeks pregnant, 2 cm, 80% effaced and ready to go...I have tried everything but castor oil, has it worked for anyone? I need some advice on whether it worked and if so how much did it take and how long? Were you already dialated and effaced, if so how much?

Hi all,
My due date is today but only dialated 1 centimeter and baby hasn't drop enough. Doctor decided to induce me tomorrow. Do you know how long it gonna take to be in labor after being induced? Does induce help you to feel painless, will labor be shorter than just let it happened naturally? Doc. estimated that i will give birth by sunday.
thank you all

I am 4 weeks pregnant. I have been having some very mild cramps on and off for couple of weeks now, nothing particuarly painful, similar to period cramps but lighter. I wasn't too worried about them but called a doctor just to check everything was ok. What he said has now terrified me and I'm really worried. He says that there is probably something wrong with the pregnancy and i have a high chance of misscaraige. When I said that I have been having these little cramps for a while now but not constantly, and could it be just my body adjusting to the pregnancy, he told me that is an old wives tale, and u don't get cramps in early pregnancy????? I am absolutely terrified now. I have had a misscariage a few years ago and am really worried. Has anyone out there experienced cramps in early pregnancy?? and if so, what were they like and how long did it go on for??

I'm 36 wks...I'm at work right now and boy am I pissed!!! It's just a mood swing .... I'm in such a bad mood and I dont know why. The phone rings and I wanna yell, my co-worker talks and I feel like kicking him in the crotch. What makes it worse it that they can tell I'm a little tense (even I try not to show it) and they make a joke out of it. I even picked a fight w/ my baby's dad. I asked him to do me a favor that I knew was impossible (while we were both on the way to work and I asked him to drop off food at my job...even though he has a farther drive and there's a food joint down the street from my job) What's wrong with me? How can I calm down? Am I being unreasonable or do i just wanna be pampered during my last week of pregnancy .. is that too much to ask?

I have 1 child who is now 4. With that pregnancy, I had almost no symptoms except really bad headaches and fatigue. I had sex during ovulation and started showing classic signs of pregnancy. Extreme nausea, dull backaches, extreme fatigue, food cravings, heartburn, severe mood swings, cramping, tinges in my breasts and nipple sensitivity. My fiance and dad 2 my 4yr old just knew there was a baby.

I had these symptoms for about two weeks and then my period came on yesterday. The flow was alot lighter than normal for the first day and was bright red in color ( usually starts off rather dark) but heavier today with many small clots ( also ususal) and still bright red.

These arent my normal pre-menstral/menstral symptoms. One day 1 of the bleeding I was really weak and very crampy. This is day 2 of the bleeding and the pregnancy symptoms continue,the nausea especially. I took a test last week which was neg but there many not have been enough HcG to tell so soon.

Any thoughts

I had a baby about 4 months ago. I was brestfeeding for only the first month. Around August 9th I had my first period that lasted about 3 days. About 4 weeks ago my husband and I had unprotected sex but he didnt finish until we put a condom on. Now I am only 5 days late, but my mind is going crazy!! I dont think I can afford another baby right now. What should I do?

When a woman is pregnant how much can she drink before it's too much?

I've heard rumors that you can drink a little bit while you are pregnant and it can actually be good for the child. Is this true?

I've also heard that if you drink just a beer while breastfeeding it will increase the quantity of breast milk. Is this true?
