Pregnancy - January 2007

My question is only for women who have had natural child birth by choice. I am planning on having natural child birth (except for numbing medicine for the crowning) and I was wondering if the pain is this complete horror that everyone says it is. I am VERY determined to make it through naturally and I need some positive feed back. All of my friends which have had Epidurals say that I'm not going to be able to do it naturally and it is very discouraging. Is the pain that bad if you are planning on natural child birth from the start? Is the pain so bad you could not find anyway to get through it?

How much and how often do you use it and do you take it orally or vaginally? Also how much Red Raspberry Leaf tea should you drink to help start labor?

Please dont answer if you are just going to say DONT DO IT. That is your opinion and I am wanting ONLY the opinion of people who are non-judgemental about this and who know SOMETHING about it or have had experience with it. I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS! Just wondering how long it took them to go into labor and details like that!Thanks

i started getting dizzy two weeks ago, it only lasted 6 days, it felt like i was drunk constantly, even when i was sitting down! then, about eight days ago, my ovaries where slightly hurting and then it stoped after a day. Six days ago, i began to have mentrual cramps, like it feels like im about to get my period every second of they day for the past week! im suppose to get my period today, but it hasnt come yet, and today the cramps arent very bad, they are barely there at all....so what is up here? could i be pregnant? ive never had cramps a weeks before a due period, ive always had them the day of my period. and yes there is a chance i could be pregnant...

I really don't have any stores in my area that sell nice maternity clothes. Does anyone know of a great website(s) that has cute stuff for VERY reasonable prices?

My husband and I just started trying for our second. The first time I was on the pill and got pregnant. This time we are actually trying. This period started early and has it been rough. Plus I smelled some coffee and just about got sick. I also tried to eat something and took one bite and just about got sick. Plus I am going to the bathroom a lot more.

I just had my first appt - and the midwife told me that it was fine to drink pop (even diet pop) in moderation during pregnancy... I am pretty well addicted to diet pepsi - but stopped drinking it the second I found out I was pregnant... but have started again since the midwife said it was ok. I only plan to drink 1-3 cans per week.

What did your doctor/midwife tell you about diet sodas?

I'm not talking about loosing your mucus plug, water breaking, contractions, or nesting. I am looking for more subtle signs that I may be going into labor soon. For example; I noticed the other day that my breasts have started leaking a clear fluid (colostrum maybe ?). Is this a sign I will go into labor soon? I still have four weeks until my due date, but I just want to know some of the other signs of labor nearing. Thanks so much!
P.S. I go to the doctor every two weeks, so I know I can just ask her. I would like to have other women's input on this. Yes, I have the pregnant woman's bible ... What to Expect When Expecting. Thanks.

I have a friend who wants a baby so bad. She is tricking her boyfriend into getting her pregnant. He already has a 7 year old son and he doesn't want anymore. She told him that she is getting the Depo shot for birth control. And with the depo shot...it is "almost" 100% effective. She told him that there was NO way that she could get pregnant on this shot. So, now they are using no protection. This is wrong..I love my friend, but she is being really unfair her boyfriend. Should I say something...or keep quite?

I'm almost seven months pregnant and have been going on job interviews like crazy. Everytime I go out I dress up very professional and also I'm covering up a small belly. Should I inform employers about my situation?
I really need a job and I'm afraid if I tell them that I'm almost seven months pregnant, that will be grounds not to hire me. What do I do?

Is it possible to get pregnant after you are finished with your periods. And semens is ejaculated inside. I have heard the best time to fertilize is in the middle of the month till your next period.

I recently got finished school and obtained my degree to be an RDA ( Registered Dental Assistant ) Now that I'm finished with school, and trying to find a job, I find out that I am Pregnant. I was wondering if anyone has been in this situation and how they addressed it at an interview? I feel it is misleading to not inform an employer, but I am also in desprite need of putting my hard earned education to good use. Do I neglect to mention it at an intervew and pretend I might have found out after I was hired?? I'm afraid people will think of my being pregnant as a condition that will interfere with my ability to preform a job the same as Id be able to if I werent having a baby. Also, if I am hired, and do inform an employer of my pregnancy, how do I address maternity leave? What is an acceptable amount of time to take a LOA from work? Thank you so much for any advice.....

from going into labor early, i feel great and am very excited because they are confident they are going to be able to keep me off of bed rest (last time i was on bed rest two months in the hospital) i guess i am curious if you or anyone you know has had this done and how did they do after their surgery? did they end up going full term?
anything you know would help. thanks alot.

At 26 weeks my OB put me on Lexapro for severe depression. I am now 29 weeks and already starting to feel much better. I would like to know some of your stories regarding anti-depressant use during pregnancy. I am terrified of the risks to baby although my doctor has assured me that the benefits far outweigh the risks. Please share your experiences.

When is the right time for me to take a pregnancy test if I have a irregular cycle? My cycle is very very irregular. I could go without a cycle for damn near 4 months. I am havin symptoms that make me believe that I coud be pregnant, but I am not sure. I took a pregnancy test and it said negative so I hoping its right, but since I am supposed to take it around my missed cycle then i am not sure if it is right. Like I said I am very irregular and it doesn't come ever month much less around the same time.
