Pregnancy - February 2007

I had my last period Dec.31 I have not started as of today. I have taken 4 home tests. The first 2 were on Jan. 25 and 27. They were both neg. Then I took 2 on the the 31st. They both had VERY faint lines. Then today Feb.2nd at the health department the test was pos. but again the line was VERY faint. I looked up some things online and read that the faint lines could be a possible miscarriage. Yet the nurse today said no. That a faint line does not mean you will miscarry. I am concerned since I had 3 miscarriage before my two kids were born, yet all those preg.test had very bright lines. I am wondering how common it is to have very faint lines on the test and still have a healthy pregnancy.
I would think that after being this late for my period (was due 1-26 with a 26 day cycle) would mean the HCG levels would be high enough to to give bright lines.
If anyone has had several tests with faint lines but had a full term healthy baby please let me know and calm my nerves.

I am four months pregnant and I found out it will be a boy! Yet, my boyfriend isn't agreeing with me on the name. Do you think De'Aundre is a good name? I've had my mind set on it since I found out.

I have a dilema. I am 38 weeks pregnant with insulin dependent gestational diabetes. My doctor told me that I need to be induced early because of this and that she is nervous that if I wait until the 40 weeks the baby could become stillborn. My doctor will not induce me unless I have an amnio first to check lung maturity.

I keep telling her I don't want one because if I am being induced at 39 weeks then what is the point? Obviously it is dangerous if I wait until 40 weeks so why risk hurting the baby with an amnio at 39 weeks if I am going to be induced anyway because of the gestational diabetes? My baby is already over 9 pounds and I'm only at 38 weeks.

My doctor has consulted with two other doctors on this and they all agree that I should have the amniocentesis. What would you do? Has anyone ever been through this before?

Are they horrible? Good? Totally screw with your body?--I heard the shot does. I'd just like some personal experiences to know what it's really like.

I'm going into my 36th week, and my doctor just called and left me a message that I need to have a "stress test" at my next appointment to make sure that blood flow is getting to the baby because I have a history of high blood pressure.

We're healthy and its just a precaution, but what is this test like? I've never had one before. Are there needles? Does it hurt?

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have had my mother in law staying with my fiance,self and 2 yr old daughter for about two weeks. She came up from Fl. to witness the birth of our expected little boy. Things have been fine except she's leaving every chance she can to stay with family that lives 45 minutes away. Last week wasn't bad because nothing labor wise was happening. However tonight my contractions have been getting started and I think it might be the first stage of labor. When I got out of the shower around 6pm I made the announcement that contractions were starting and no more than 15 minutes later she was on the phone making plans for the rest of the weekend, and she was wanting my fiance to drive her the trip's entire distance, which is an hour and a half, there and back. I was shocked! If she just has to leave so be it, no big loss, but she had no respect to the fact that I can't drive myself to the birthing center if things really get going. What should I say when she get's back?

I was just wondering how many of you (or people you know well) got pregnant while on the birth control pill. I know that taking antibiotics and missing pills messes it up but have any of you gotten pregnant while taking the pill on time and not missing any or being on antibiotics? Also, if someone does get pregnant while on the pill is there a higher risk of miscarriage? (I heard that taking a few pills before knowing that you're pregnant won't hurt the baby but I haven't heard about the miscarriage part). I'm just curious about this (slightly worried) and would like to know real life experiences not statistics!

Yesterday, I noticed that my vagina started itching, so I washed it. now, whenever I go to the bathroom, I wash it just to make sure that it stays as clean as possible. Anyways, that night- I looked at my vagina, and I noticed that I also had a very thick white discharge, and I know for a fact that it's not my normal. It's thick and clumpy..not slimy.
Anyways, I was planning to take a pregnancy test tomorrow because I've missed my period by a week. So, i was wondering whether or not using Monistat would effect the result of a pregnancy test?
Anyways, I'm most likely going to a planned parenthood sometime this week just to get it checked out to make sure.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost nine months. I am 10 days late on my period and I have all the signs of pregnancy. The deal is, my boyfriend is 24 years old and my parents used to let him stay the weekends with me. My mom knew for a while that we were having sex. One day she caughts us and thats when we weren't allowed to see each other until I turn 18. She has let us see each other since then on several occasions. Now my doctor has called and she wants me to come in and take a pregnancy test. I do not want him thrown in jail. He wants to be a father and wants to make things work if I am pregnant. I do not think it is right for a father to be took away from his child. But I don't know what my parents are going to do to him if I am. Help!! I don't know what I am going to do?

Okay, I have one for my friend. She wants to know if you were to have oral and he came and then had intercourse but he didn't come then could you still get pregnant? She doesn't want to get pregnant and they are in a serious, monogomous relationship. She also likes it better without a condom although she knows she needs to use them and she isn't on birth control and her period is also next week. What do you think?

Does everyone experience nausea or morning sickness when they are pregnant?

Do all women experience a lot of side affects in general, or can a woman have a fairly pleasant pregnancy?

When did morning sickness start for you?

The night like 4 days ago I had sex and I thought it was too hard. Then after I put my underwear back on, I noticed the back of my underwear was wet. I just assumed that it was his stuff or that it was sweat. When I woke up in the morning, I noticed a little spot on the bed. I didn't think that it was blood, then I went to the bathroom and noticed I was bleeding a tiny bit. I thought I was just bleeding because it was too hard. Then I stopped. Then the next day, when I went to the bathroom, I spotted a tiny tiny bit. I don't think it was implanation bleeding because I thought it would be too early for that, cause I thought that implanation bleeding usually happens when you're supossed to get your period. I'm supossed to get my period around Valentine's Day. But even if I am pregnant, I'd only be 2 weeks at the most, on my last period it was light but not too light, on day 4 I thought I ended but the next day I started bleeding again. What do u think? Could it be implanation bleeding?

Hello and congrats to pregnant moms out there.

I found out 2 weeks ago that I am pregnant for the second time and I am still pretty much in shock about it. I do not plan on telling most of my family until I get the ultrasound on Feb 28th

I am about 8 weeks along and so far finding it hard getting back on pre-natal vitamins and start eating right. I guess when I know what is coming I am not looking foward to certains aspects of pregnancy. I am not good at taking vitamins because I get sick when I swallow them but I know I have to just suck it up. I know I need to eat veggies but I am so used to eating whatever that I finding it hard to break my junk food habit.

Since it is just a shock I often am forgetting that I am even pregnant, for some reason I am worrying more with this pregnancy too. I have been really sick and really cranky.

I am hoping things will change when I get my Ultrasound February 28th and then tell the family. Anyone feel indifferent at first??

My last period was at the beginning of Jan. 07 I probably ovulated around the middle of the month. I haven't been paying close attention to this, since my hubby got a vasectomy about 10 months ago after a birth of our baby. I haven't gotten my period yet, but I had a spot of blood on the 31 and then the next couple of days nothing. I have took a hpt and it was negative. It is freaking me out, I have never been this late. I am going to test in a few more days- what do you guys think? could it have been implantation blood?? ANYBODY ever heard of pregnancy after a vasectomy??
