Pregnancy - November 2006

My doctor gave me one week to decide if I want to have an amnio or not. I am 13 weeks pregnant and he wants to do this by next week if I choose to. He told me it's a 5 minute procedure done under local anesthesia and that once the sac is poked it seals back almost immediately. All you will feel is cramping and like DNA, this test is 99.9% accurate for over 200 birth defects. My family and hubby's family have no history of defects but I am over 35 years old with my third and last child. We are both very sketical of this procedure but if this test is 99.9% accuate- I would feel irresponsible. I read on other threads that this hurts like crazy but if you're under local anesthesia- why would there be pain??? Any comment is greatly appreciated!

At 10 wks pregnant would it matter which test was done? Are both equaly sensitve at this stage to detect and show a fetus?

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, BUT, In the meantime.... I can barely walk because there is SO much pressure in my pelvic area, It feels like the babies head is sitting so far down that she might fall out at any given moment, I SERIOUSLY almost cannot get up and walk, And when I do finally make it off of whatever I happen to be sitting on, It hurts SO badly...The best way for me to describe this pain, Is like this-

I feel like a wishbone, And I have 2 people on either side of my pubic bones, Both pulling in different directions.

Any suggestions to help ease the pain (Other than Tylenol, Which isn't helping)....Or do you think labor is coming in the very near future???

hi. just would like opinions on the baby names we have. IF its a girl, we wanted to go with Jasmine Marie OR something unique like Forever. And if its a boy... Noah Bartholomew. <-- he wanted that to be the first name, and we just fought over it, so we both got the names we wanted and used them as a first and middle name.

I am 5'9 and have so much trouble finding pants that are long enough. I cant buy them from wal mart, or target, etc..because they are always too short on me and look ridiculous. Does anyone else have this problem and what are some of the best places that are not too expensive (20 to 30 dollars at the most) to find maternity jeans for tall women. Thanks for the help

I know after DC pg tests can show positive for up to 8 wks so how will I know if I'm pg or not? And I know some will say it's too soon to conceive but the reality is we did it and can't change it. Also I have not found any data to suggest that it is too soon. I believe your body will know if it's too soon. Also, was at Dr last week and said everything looks great and to try again!!!

I'm 17, and expecting my first child sometime soon. ( I'm 37 weeks and five days. ) Of course, I'm still attending school regularly, so I can keep my grades up to A's and B's..but I don't know how on earth to get rid of all the discomfort..I know it's normal..but it seems like when I'm finished with all of my work, I start getting jittery and can't get comfortable at all. Any advice on how I can make things go a little smoother for the next couple of weeks? I'd especially appreciate it..Thank you.

who'd been made pregnant by her rapist or molester to go through 9 months of pregnancy (I'm pregnant at the moment and its hell with severe sickness and exhaustion) and 48 hours of agonising labour to give birth to her rapists baby and then hand it over to strangers like an unwanted Christmas gift?

Are you serious? I'm sorry but in that situation the raped child's feelings and welfare would come FIRST for me! What makes one child more important that the other?

The funny thing is a lot of you are men who know nothing about how hard it is to carry or deliver a baby!

Is your pregnancy normal if the ultrasound scan reveals you are 5 weeks pregnant but based on your last menstrual period you ought to be 9 weeks?

I am 11 weeks pregnant, Does anyone know when you find out if your baby is "normal" or should I say, Completely healthy? Do they give blood tests? Ultrasounds? Or do you just have to wait until he/she is born? thanks

I live in Northern Florida and I go to school here and my husband works up here as well. His co-workers are asking when the baby shower will be, but I hardly know any of them. If they really want to buy me stuff, fine. But I also have my friends and family in South Florida and they want me to throw a baby shower, too. How can I work this out? I can't ask people to drive 500 miles in either direction just for a baby shower.

The baby is due in March, so I thought about having the N. Florida baby shower in January and the S. Florida baby shower in February. Is that too soon for a baby shower? Too late? How long before the baby is due should I throw a baby shower?

Is it worse to have a baby shower before or after Christmas?

Thanks!
