Pregnancy - December 2006

I had my first daughter earlier this year at 28 weeks and she weighed 2 lbs 10 oz at birth. My husband & I always wanted at least two children - maybe more. After what we went through the first time, I am a bit scared of a second premature delivery.
I have talked to my ob/gyn and he gave me a lot of good advice. I am more looking for real people with real experiences and how they dealt with the stress and emotions during a second pregnancy. Or if you decided not to even try a second time.

A year ago I found out I was pregnant then the very day after telling my boyfriend I had a miscarriage. His reaction to the pregnancy news was total disbelief. He made me take 3 tests to prove it. Then he was devastated when I had the miscarriage.

I found out 2 weeks ago that I am pregnant again. I told him the day I found out and he is 100% excited. I am a little surprised at the difference in reaction but I am happy about it. The issue is even though I know how happy and excited he is this time I find it hard to talk to him about it. When I do find the courage to bring it up he talks with me without hesitation but I still have a fear of talking about it. I think that what I am afraid of is another miscarriage. I think that if I don't talk about being pregnant I can't "jinx" it.

Any thoughts on how to get over this fear?

I had my son at home and it was the most wonderful experience ever. Had my midwife, doula, mom, and best friend with me. Was a very long and hard labor and delivery, but had I been with a doc they would have probably done a cesarian. Please share your stories, my experience was wonderful, wouldn';t do it any other way.

I went in today for my first ultrasound at 6w4d because of bad cramping (turned out to be cyst on one of my ovaries) and Dr. said I had the largest yoke sac she had ever seen. What is the significance of that? I can't find any info on that in any of my books.

Went to doctor's appointment... Doctor kinda got me scared because for the last three weeks or so I have been "under" measuring... Well they did an ultrasound and she is really really REALLY low... I mean the woman doing the ultrasound had a hard time getting a measurment of her head becasue she was soooooo low... Another thing... I lost my mucus plug this morning?

What do you think about this? Labor soon?

I was in a weight loss program and they give you an HCG shot, I want to know how long I should wait to take a pregnancy test if I suspect I am pregnant, because I know if I still have HCG in my system it will affect the test,it has been about 3 wks since I last got that shot. Please help me!

Okay the past two months I have been getting my period but it has been coming a couple of days early and has been real slimey. Last month it lasted 2 days and it started off like a brown slime and then went to a light red slime then I spotted and then it was gone. I just started my period again 2 days early and it looks like burgendy slime. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy but I have 2 neg pregnancy test. I got a dr.'s apt for jan 4th to get on the pill if I'm not preg but I have never had periods like this (slime) So I was wondering if you have had periods while you were pregnant were they like slime? And were they extremely light? I usually have 5 or 6 day periods. Please Help!

About 4 weeks ago me and my guy friend got a little carried away and had sex. My period was spotting however (I have a irregular period and it can last for 2 weeks all the way up to 4 weeks long).And it came on light after sex then the next 2 days it was light but that is not the norm.and it went of 2 weeks after that. But he did the withdrawl method but when he pulled out it was only a little and that wasn't so usuall.My stomach has been cramping I sleep longer hours and my breast are very sore, and I can't sleep on my stomach anymore.Can I be pregnant?

My 20 weeks scan is next week and I really want to find out the sex. Its not so as I can but pink/blue clothes etc, but because Im not really bonding with this baby as of yet due to having a difficult pregnancy, and I feel that if I knew the sex and could stop calling it "it", it would help me bond, which I am desperate to do. However, my partner doesn't want to know the sex and his family keep making comments about "doing it the old fashioned way" and "shouldn't be finding out the sex" etc. I may be oversensitive but its beginnig to upset me and I feel like im doing something wrong and being ganged up on. I feel like, although it is both our baby, i am the one carrying it, suffering badly for it and I should be able to know if i want, without being accused of being selfish! Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I hate birth control, especially since I am nursing a baby. I had my first period after a long and wonderful 20 months! I was sooooo sick of using condoms, that we said screw it and went without for once. Since I sent so long without a period, that must lessen my chances of getting pregnant again, right? Or is it the opposite? Or does that have nothing to do with it? A girl can hope, right? I really don't want another baby, I just HATE both condoms and birth control! What do you think my chances are?

I had a miscarriage in August when i was 10 weeks pregnant, then i went on the pill in september, I didnt get my period in october so i took home pregnancy tests, they resulted in negative. I thought the pill was just messing my cycle up..so i went on with my life. Realizing a few weeks later i was in fact pregnant, 10 weeks by this point, due to complications and what not i had an abortion November 29, 2006

I did not wait the 2 weeks after havin the abortion b4 havin sex again, we had alot of unprotected sex. I took a pregnancy test and it said positive but it could be the old hormone left in me or a new one. I went to the doc and got a blood test done and it said pregnant .I have been spotting brown discharge and very light bleeding.its not constant but every couple of days it happens again.

I'm goin for a second blood test, to see if the hormone has risen or decreased to find out if i am pregnant.

what do u think the chances of me being pregnant or it being the old hormone

I do not know what to do, the father feels that having this child is a set back for me, however if I have it he would visit once a month. (selfish bastard) I am renting a room, full time employee and full time college student. I do not have a car or make enough to do it all by myself. What should i do? I have never had a abortion before. I think that murder is wrong, however I also feel that bringing a child into this world knowing that we will be suffering is just as bad.

Does it hurt? and when it happens can you stop it in the middle (like you can when you are peeing)

I know this question is asked a lot, but I want to know how long the antibiotic is still in my body?

The only difference is that I only took the antibiotic for one day (i know you are supposed to keep taking it, i don't need a lecture.) I had a UTI and was taking 500mg pill of Ciprofloxacin. I only took the 2 pills that are required in one day and my symptoms cleared up very quickly. I want to know what kind of threat this poses to my bc pill (I take ortho tri-cyclen lo). I am 'scheduled' to start my period next tuesday.

Does anyone know how long it would last if I only took it the one day? And, does anybody know where I can find statistics on birth control and antibiotics? Thanks =]

When I had my first child I was able to get them from Wal-Mart, but that was over four years ago. I have gained weight since then and they are tight on me now. I need new ones!!! Stores in Kitchener/London Ontario only please. I've tried looking on websites, but I haven't seen anything in that style. I really don't like the ones that are low cut. They feel like they are falling off me!!
