Pregnancy - February 2007

I had a sonogram test yesterday being 11 weeks and 6 days along. The doctor said she was pretty sure (80%) that the baby was a girl. It seems to me that it is a bit early to tell although it was a high-quality equipment. How accurate might be this prediction? Did any of you had an accurate result that early?

P.S I really wanted the first one to be a boy....

My due date is today. Nothing, but this is my first child. I haven't been dialted at all, my next doctors appointment is tomorrow though. This past weekend I walked every day and on Monday and Tuesday I lost my mucus plug and had period like braxton hicks for a long time... Nothing though. I walked for about 30 minutes today. What else works? Jumping jacks? I want to have this baby. Does it even matter if I walk or do stretches?

What is the better brand of pregnancy test to take?!?!? Some people say the one's from the dollar store are fine and others say they're not. So what would be the best to buy, besides E.P.T., to check for pregnancy? (For those who are pregnant or have kids and took a HPT, what brand did you use and how did you like it)

i read about a lady that didnt want an epidural at first, then ended up getting one, but got paralyzed from it!?! How likely is this to happen if I get one?

My friend is being retarded and showed me a positive pregnancy test...she told me she tampered with it to become positive. (No drugs involved and she did pee on it). How did she do this?

Did it feel like a major charley horse in your stomach? Menstral cramps? Undescrible, excruciating pain?

Were you able to go through L/D without any pain meds? What helped you to deal with the pain?

If you had an epidural, was it scary? Did you feel anything during the needle insertion? Do you regret using the med, or was it Heaven sent?

I'm due in June. I'm scared about L/D. I pray that I can be tough enough to do it without an epidural. I'm petrified of the needle in my back!

If you have lost your mucus plug is is still safe to have sex? If so, why? If not, why?

when I list all the things I need, does this mean that I need to pay for all of this and then the store will give me a free gift??? Cause someone mention to me that I can pick anything I want for free? Or by buying all the stuff for my baby in the store, I will get a free gift? Or I'll get a discount for buying the stuffs? "which is which?"

Hello again,
I posted this morning about if I was pregnant. Took a HPT and it is a big fat Positive. :) I'm going in for blood work to confirm of course but my question is my last menstruation was on Nov. 17th very light brown spotting in January 1,2 and 3. How far along could I really be?

how do men react to seeing a hemorrhoid that was caused by pregnancy. How do you explain to them what it is?

First of all thank you for taking the time to read/respond to this!

I think I may be pregnant and I was wondering what common symptoms are besides just morning sickness. I took a home pregnancy about a week ago which came out negative, But I have been getting seriously nauseous for over 2 weeks now-Especially in the morning but it comes and goes all day, no vomiting though. My boyfriend and I did have a "mishap" so I know there is a chance but, I just had a few minutes so I thought I'd see what other kinds of symptoms anyone else may have had. I've also looked on different medical web sites but they all say the same ole things.

I'm going to go take another test in a few days and then of course consult my doctor if I still can't get any answers but anything input you may have would be appreciated. Thanks again!

I am 7 mths pregnant right now. Just curious when did you go for your mat leave. I am planning to work for another 3 weeks as my belly is groing up and it's getting hard to go to work in such condition.


For how long did you stay on your mat leave? I am plannig to take entire year.

I am interested how it was with you or how you plan to take you mat leave. Thanks.

Ladies, what do you think? has the constant eye on hollywood pregnancies made it easier or harder on "real" pregnant women today? I personally feel even more pressure to dress well and stay in shape when really I'd just like to take a nap and wear sweats. What do you think?

I am 40 weeks. Last night I went to the hospital with very real contractions happening every couple of minutes. We got there and I was only 2 cm, but I've been 2 cm for 2 weeks. My doctor sugested that I walk, that did nothing. We spent the night at the hopital knowing that surely it would be soon, with the way my contractions were coming. My doctor saw me this morning and SENT ME HOME???? Why? I'm due--who the heck cares if the baby isn't ready, some babies are never ready to come out. My sister never went into labor (both times) and my mother in law was two weeks late! My husband was SO huge that it compromised his health and his mom's (11lbs). Why don't doctors just induce? What is so wrong with that? Why wait? It won't make any difference to the baby but it was save the mother countless days of being uncomfortable and save maternity days.

I'm 31wks pregnant and i've turned into the most emotional sook ever! I have always been very "happy go-lucky" and tried to never let the small stuff bother me, but these days? Forget it!

I cried yesterday on Valentines Day (i'm in Australia) cause my fiance had the flowers delivered in the afternoon instead of the morning, i cried cause i was stuck in a big traffic jam - heck i even cried cause some guy got kicked off The Biggest Loser (which i never watch and which i happened to only catch 5mins of... and i still cried cause he got kicked off). Its completely irrational and unfounded and uncalled for!

What can be done to calm these emotional outbursts down? I'm a walking waterfall and its driving me crazy!! lol.
