Pregnancy - November 2006

What alternative therapies can be used to help with post natal depression? I know that St.Johns Wort can't be taken if you're breast feeding, are there any herbal remedies you can take whilst breast feeding? Any mothers found something that really worked for them? Thank you!

My husband was going to get insurance at work but it would cost us $800 a month. That is enough to pay cash fo a baby. However we can't afford to do it all on my Dr.'s time scedule. I don't qualify for any insurance plan I can find and all I have found are places that work out a discount up to 60% for the Dr visits, but then I am paying them every month. I don't want to be on medicaid because I can pay something. Do they let you pay a little bit each month if you are on medicaid? Are nurse midwives a decent option and are they cheaper? (My Dr would cost $2900, plus all the test and the sonograms, and not counting the hospital bill) Please help.

ok i am 35.5 weeks pregnant. I have been having cramping for about a week and a half, which has turned out to be early contractions, nothing significant yet. It just feels like menstrual cramps. I have also lost my plug on the 29th with no blood, and have been having softer more frequent bowel movements for about two weeks. Well, just yesterday i was told that my cervix is is softening and effaced....but i was not told how effaced on account of he is not my normal doctor, and he said he has no previous examinations to base it off of...so my question is...

what are your stories of effacement..(with your first pregnancy)...how long after being effaced did you dilate...how long do you think it could be for me till i deliver....just curious on everyones previous experience and what you think may happen for me.

Thanks!!
P.S. I am still trying to figure out this site..is it possible for me to respond to your answers..if so HOW? lol..thanks

She hasn't had her period in months. Her stomach is getting big and she was positive on a home pregnancy test. She keeps eating the pickles and ice cream out of the ice box.

I've been with the company for 2 months and just found that I'm expecting (YAY!). I'm expecting a bonus in December after my 3 months probation period is done. My plan is tell my boss at the end of my first trimester (beginning of Jan) and to work until the end of my 2nd trimester (mid-April). I don't intend to return to work for several years at least, but don't necessarily want to burn bridges. Thoughts?

I am only a month pregnant and I have this rash on my stomach. It's like these red bumps.. it doesnt itch or anything, its just there.

Is this because of the pregnancy or is it something else?
Did anyone else have this happen to them in early pregnancy?

I'm 38-39 weeks pregnant and have been having braxton hicks contractions for 20 hours now. They are completely painless and come every 20-30 minutes. I went to see my doctor a few hours ago she checked my baby and everything was fine, she could not however explain why the BH are holding on for so long and said that I should call her if they start getting painful. My question is, has anyone else experienced BH contractions for a prolonged period of time? and do you think that the real contractions will begin soon? Thanks for your answers

I'm 32wks pregnant and for the past few months I've been getting nore and more discharge. Not anything different and what I described to the doctor, he said was normal, and it looks normal to me because I have had yeast infections before and a couple of others. But has anyone ever noticed a smell like garlic in their discharge. I know that sounds gross, and I'll ask my doc about it at the next appt. This isn't the first time I've noticed this it happens sometimes, even when I haven't been pregnant. It just seems stronger now. Any ideas? I don't have ANY other weird symptoms except the normal pregnancy discharge! Thanks and please be kind!!!!
