Pregnancy - December 2006

I just found out that I am pregnant - after 7 months of trying! YAY! This is my first child, so of course, I have questions! I have not been to the doc yet - I can't get in until Jan 5th, but I took 2 hpt's and they were both positive, plus my period is like clockwork (every 28 days on the nose) and it's late, plus my husband and I had been using ovulation kits and were "active" when I ovulated.....so......

For those of you that have kids, what tests did the doc do on the first visit? (If you remember!) Is an ultrasound done a while before a sonogram? What's the difference?

How long did you wait before you told family? Friends? Coworkers/boss?

Thanks!

I am 5.5 weeks pregnant.

I went to my general doctor and he told me as long as I was eating "food" then I am okay. I asked him if there were certain things I shouldn't eat and he told me not to worry about it and to just eat healthy!

I made an appointment with an OB/GYN, but they won't see me till I am 12 weeks along!

I thought I wasn't suppose to eat fish, unpasteruize cheeses, and other things... this is my 1st pregnancy, help!

When I was at high school, I saw a gurl (who is a teenager) got pregnant this year. No, for real.

How many weeks were you? I understand that "everyone is different" so you don't need to say that. Just wondering how far along YOU were. I am thin, so should I be able to hear it sooner? I have an appt when I am 9 weeks

My MIL and my SIL are probably going to host my shower. They have not said this to me but I think my SIL mentioned it to my husband. Which is wonderful as I am very grateful that someone is kind enough to be doing it.

The thing is, my own Mother and sister live thousands of miles away and we only get to see each other 2 or 3 times a year. They are scheduled to visit for a few days when I will be about 17/18 weeks along in my pregnancy. It is very important to me to have them at my baby shower and so would love to have the shower while they are here. How do I bring this up to my in laws without sounding tacky or presumptious?

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and lately have been having the craziest dreams. Before becoming pregnant i'd dream once every 6 months and remember it. Now, I dream every night and remember them and they're insanely weird. Has this happened to anyone else??

hi, everyone, im asking this to hopefully women who have used an exercise stationary bike during pregnancy. i want to know, if i go by normal nutritional guidelines (calorie and health food), how many miles on a stationary bike should i do (how many times a week too) to maintain my weight. im already some overweight and i dont realy want to gain any more fat weight from now on in the pregnancy. this is my second pregnancy and my doctor told me to shoot for only 15 lbs and ive already overgone that. i know i will gain those lbs from my baby. but does anyone know how many times a week and how many miles should i spend on the bike to either tone my body, and or just maintain my weight?

My girlfriend takes birth control, and says we dont need a condom. She says if she takes her pill at the same time everyday, and doesnt forget to, theres a 99% chance of it working. We've never used a condom and we've never had any problems, but I don't want to have a kid, I'm only a teenager. Does it really work that good?

i've been having 'panic attacks' whenever i try to fly. only now I dont think they are panic attacks anymore, because I've been getting an irregular heartbeat, pains down my left shoulder, in my chest, and intense headaches to the point that i throw up, even when i'm not anxious about anything. I am due to get on a plane tomorrow to see my boyfriend, i dont want to let him down, but because this started something before i'm not sure i should fly. what do you think?? should i fly??
