Pregnancy - January 2007

Im 17 weeks pregnant, my doctor just called me and told me my HCG level is higher that normal. He says that later in pregnancy there is a chance my placenta could stop working and my baby could be born smaller than normal. Has anyone gone through this before and what was the outcome?

i went to the dr today, i'm one week overdue. i'm 1 cm dilated and i was just wondering if anyone knows if theres an avg amount of time it takes before labor starts once you've began dilating. i know every women is different, so it varies, but is there an average time? or how long has it taken in your experience? he said if i dont go into labor by monday, to come back in and we'll talk about inducing then. i've had contractions, some strong, but mostly mild-moderate, and they arent regular really yet.

I am supportive and happy for her..I am throwing her a huge baby shower this month. But I am jealous because I want children so so badly but I don't know if it's possible b/c of some health issues. I'm also jealous that she is happy in a relationship. So women (or men, lol) have you experienced this?? Or am I just a biotch??

Think I may be pregnant, have had a lot of symptoms, but couldn't get a straight answer from home tests so I went to doctors.

Explained everything including symptoms, but doctor dismissed my worries out of hand and focused on the stomach cramps i said i was having - linked it to a stomach bug I had a while back and gave me tablets, but the symptoms I have now are different to then. Should I see another doctor about it?

Need to know because I am supposed to be on cholestral tablets but should not take them if I'm pregnant, so I'm not really sure what to do now?

Hope someone can advise me.

Okay I asked earlier if it was normal to have perios like cramps early in your pregnancy I got some good answers but now I have another question. I am suppose to start my period of jan 6, I took a hpt and it was postive, yippie, I go to the doctor on the 10th of january. The cramps have somewhat decreased and i can hardly feel them anymore just every once in awhile. I guess you could say that i am worried that i am going to end not not being pregnant and start my period. Just wandering what other women have experienced with period like cramps before there actual missed period. Just being overly cautious i guess.

Im wondering if anyone can help me with this......im having a baby at the end of march (or early april whenever she comes:) and my job wont pay maternity leave...but for @ least 6 weeks i will not be able to work. Is there any sort of programs or something (like enemployment???) that can help me out? I know WIC for things like milk and cheese but there is no way we can make it on just one income...kind and helpful answers appreciated.

there is no way at all that I could be feeling my baby move yet. This is my fourth pregnancy and I am 15 weeks tomorrow, and i just sat on the couch and felt little flurries of movement for about 2 minutes straight. For those of you with multiple pregnancies under your belt, how soon did you feel movement with your second or third or fourth..etc?

He also then did laugh and say he learned long ago not to argue with motherly instincts. hes a good doctor, but i am pretty sure he is wrong on this one.

I just read a comment that a girl responded to, and she said that morning sickness is a sign of a healthy baby. Well, I'm 15.5 weeks and I never had naseua but once or twice. Does this mean that not having morning sickness is a bad sign?? The only thing I have had a lot of is headaches. Anyway, please offer me your opinion. Thank you.

I am pregnant with my second child. I am 26 years old and have been married for almost 8 years. My daughter is 2 and my second child is due about 3 months before she turns 3. I have a good marriage with no problems. Anyway, my sister is 33 and she can't get pregnant. She has had one miscarriage and she is in the middle of an adoption. We are close, but she is very negative of every decision I ever make. I understand she wants to look out for me but she actually got mad when I got pregnant with my daughter. So now I am pregnant again and I haven't even told her because I don't want to listen to her mouth. I love her but I don't look forward to telling her because she is going to get so mad. Every one says she is jealous of me and that's why she acts like she does, but it's not my fault she can't get pregnant. I don't feel I should put what I want on hold in life because I feel sorry for her. How should I go about telling her about my pregnancy? How should I deal with her negativity?

I was wondering how long did you really bleed after having a baby? Was it a natural birth or C-section? Were you miserable afterward? For how long?

First off, I have my next doctor's appointment tomorrow so I will be consulting him. I'm just looking for suggestions to get me though the day and night!

I'm 16 weeks pregnant and over the weekend caught a horrible cold! I cannot breath through my nose at all, if I can it's very short lived! Since retuning to work yesterday I've gone though almost an entire brand new box of Kleenex. I'm trying to breath though my mouth here at work and at night but it's not easy! Does anyone know anything that I can do to help me just make it though today and tonight ntil I see my doctor tomorrow?

Thanks!

I missed my pill a couple weeks ago and now i am spotting both kinds of blood, and i usually have my period later in the month. It is way to early for any blood to come and it only happens when i go to the bathroom. Can i please have a doctors opinion. I did take the pill i missed the usually time i take all the others and i took it with another pill, so i dont know if that has something to do with it..but the thing is, is that i have missed a couple days before and doubled up on pills and i never had any spotting then, so i dont know whats different this time. I havent had any signs of my period yet, the light pink bleeding came out of nowhere
