I've had problems w/ chronic constip. for years now, & I always worry about what to eat the day before having a doctor's appointment or any other appointment, becuz if I'm not able to go in a whole day, I'll wake up feeling miserable (headache, bloated, pressure in eyes, feeling really tired like if I haven't gotten any sleep at all etc). I asked my ob/gyn what would be safe to take & she recommended I take Colace & also told me Benefiber is safe to use during pregnancy. I now add 2 tsps of Benefiber to each of my meals (I use the max limit of it which is 6 tsps daily). She didn't tell me what to eat tho. Could you give me some ideas of what I should have today for lunch & dinner so that I won't be constipated by tommorow? I already had breakfast which was 1 cup of coffee (a lil milk in it and no sugar) w/ 2 tsps of Benefiber mixed in, 2 Metamucil Fiber Wafers, a bowl of All-Bran cereal, a glass of room temp apple juice, an apple & water. I was thinking a Wendy's BLT salad for dinner?

Am excited and thrilled but don't want to jump the gun and tell parents/friends until it is safe to do so.

I heard that most women get ultrasounds around the 30th week to see how much the baby has grown or weighs and to see his position. Is that right?

going by my dates i should be 11 wks pregnant going on 12. i know the exact night i conceived. i have been bleeding when wiping for two weeks now and have had one small clot. i rang the hospital and was told i may be threatening miscarriagand. i got a scan 4 days later and the doctor couldn't find a baby only a sac. i got an internal and was told i am only 6 wks.
The doctor didn't have an explanation and i am 2 go back next week for another scan.
it may be that i've miscarried the fallen pregnant again but then i haven't had heavy bleeding.
doctor says i have dates wrong which i know i haven't and that they can't see nothing in the sac at 6wks and thats why i've to go back, but my friend is 6wks going on 7wks and the doctor found her baby and heartbeat straight away.
i'm really worried and would be grateful 4 other peoples stories of similiar situations.
thanks.

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my third child and am steadily losing weight (not intentionally). I have lost about 8 lbs. This is very upsetting to me. I lost 2-3 lbs the first trimester of my second preg but I seem to be losing more weight each month with this pregnancy (1-2 lbs in the 2nd and 3rd months and 4lbs in my 4th month). I am not overweight, I have a BMI of about 25-26. Someone please tell my why I am losing weight and if it is a serious risk to my child.....And what I can do about it..

I know so many people that do different kind of "street drugs" during their pregnancy, I was wondering if they drug test at prenatal visits? and if not, i think they should.

If using just spermicidal lubricant, what are the odds of getting pregnant? This is more of a research type question as opposed to a personal use question, so no smart asses please =)

At first I was thinking of naming her Trinity Nevaeh (pronounced Ne- Vay-uh)

But it seems that a lot of people don't like the name Trinity. Should I put Nevaeh as the first name and Trinity as a middle name?

Please let me know what you think?

This is so weird. I wish I had an ultrasound machine at home so I can check on my baby everyday! My next appt is on the 15th of Feb where I will be hearing the heart beat! But until then, I am just feeling scared. I think I'm in a stage where I am not getting big, I have no major symptoms, and I am feeling anxious.
Anyone else go through this?

I have just found out that I am pregnant and I am so excited! I know that women have been having babies forever, but I was just wondering if it is normal to feel as though you will FOR SURE be the one that something will go wrong with. I am so nervous and scared that I will miscarry. Every minute I feel as though something will happen.

i had a cervical stitch (cerclage) put in two weeks ago and the only restrictions the dr gave me was "nothing in the vagina" so that means no sex obviously, i have an incompitant cervix which was the reason for the cerclage so i can understand why he wouldnt want anything inserted into the vagina. but i am wondering do you think that means no doing anything that would make me orgasm? sorry if that's an uncomfortable question, i kind of am scared to ask the dr that. i have heard that orgasms can cause the cervix to thin, not sure if this is true or not. anyway if you have any thoughts or suggestions let me know, i wasnt sure/
thanks

Two weeks ago, I had unprotected sex but my partner did not ejaculate. Feeling overwhelmed and paranoid, I purchased Plan B. The pharmacist said that I should be getting my period soon. But seeing as how I did not exactly need it in the first place, does this mean my period will be delayed or not come at all? Did is act as a sporatic form of the pill?

In addition to all of this, I've stopped discharging completely. Is this just another one of the side effects of unnecessary Plan B use?

Hi, I recently read on here, while searching how much water I should be drinking daily during my pregnancy, and several people answered that their doctors or nurses advised them to drink 8 ounces of water for every hour you are awake per day, but that seems like way too much water. Because for example, say I'm awake by 8 am and don't go to sleep until 11 pm that's a total of 15 hours I'm awake so 15 X 8 ounces = 120 ounces of water I should drink a day. Does that amount seem excessive to anyone or is that a good amount to drink daily? Reason I was searching that in the first place is to try and help combat constipation during my pregnancy and I know water can help with that problem. I just wanna make sure I'm not getting too much of a good thing ya know, and I've been kinda worried about it since I heard about water intoxication. Please advise as to how much water a pregnant women in her 8th month should drink a day and / or if the 8 ozs. for every hour awake is ok or not. Thanks

I saw a pink discharge this morning when i wiped myself, it had gone afterwards, and have not seen it since. At 13weeks is this normal. I had my scan on my tummy yesterday and everything woz fine, it wasn't an internal one so this couldnt have been the cause.

Also, im getting strange pains at the top of my stomach, could this be the uterus growing??

i am 8 weeks pregnant and I sleep 10 hours a night now.

Up until about 2 months ago, I would go to sleep around 11:30 pm and wake up at 5:30 am feeling GREAT.

But for the last 2 months, like I said, I've just been exhausted. I sleep for 10 hours or more a night and I'm not waking up until 8 am....

IS THIS NORMAL for a pregnancy in the first trimester?
