Pregnancy - March 2007

My husband and I have decided that we will one day adopt, but do not want to have our own children. I am on the pill, but still have stress about getting pregnant. I know that it is still a small percentage, but a chance nonetheless.
I want him to get a vasectomy. He is not opposed to the idea, he just does not do well with pain or medical procedures of any kind.
Can someone give me some information about the process and the amount of pain involved. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

Gestational diabetes during their pregnancy. I am 34 weeks and was just that I had it after I took my 3 hour glucose test. I have read alot of info online but wanted to know if there was anyone else out there that had this and how did you get through it. Was your hospital stay longer after you gave birth? Did your baby weigh alot. My doc also told me I had to take insulin, not sure if it is the shot, pill, or juice yet. Will find out monday. Just need some advice and reassurance. Thank you all for your help

I just got a new job on monday mar 19th and today mar 24th i took an HPT test and it was positive. I don't want to tell them right away because i really dont want to loose my job. Should i wait a month or so and just tell them i just found out then. Do you think they would fire me if i told them i was pregnant and have only been there for a week? They really like me there and i caught on very fast to everything so i consider myself a good employee. Has anyone else been in my position?

Why do I keep reading different definitions of 'term' babies on Answers???
One day I read anything beyond 38 weeks is considered term, the next it's 37, then 36....!

I just want to say that if the process isn't interfered with, average pregnancies for white females are:
288 days for first time pregnancies.
284 for second and subsequent babies.

That means on AVERAGE first babies come at 41+1 and second babies come at 40+4.

Babies are not full term before their due dates, and they are not overdue until they're at least 42 weeks AND showing signs of postmaturity syndrome.

It's true that some babies come early, and it's true that some of those have no problems, but it's certainly not true for all. The definition of term is based on a two hundred year old dating system that determined whether the baby was likely to survive. Even 50 years ago 36weekers were touch and go.

Does anyone else agree? Why do these dates vary so much?

I am 8 weeks pregnant and when I had my first ultrasound I was told my baby would give me a lot of gas and heartburn. I didn't think that would be so painful since I experienced both before, but early this morning I experience something that made me have short breath and lots of pressure in my stomach. I was scared too death. I'm just wondering if any of you have had this problem and what you did to relieve the gas?

I have recently rescued a chihuahua from a teenage girl who was unable to financially afford her pet. When I got the little girl I was told that she was pregnant. Since that time it has been confirmed by my vet that Yes she indeed was very pregnant.
My question is... We don't know her exact due date but we figure it is coming soon, is it normal for her belly to change to a darker colouraround the nipple area? At first we thought it was dirt and we tried to wash it away..but of course it's still there...Is this something I should be concered about?

I have been feeling very naeseous for the last five weeks. I am very sensitive to smells and my breats are swollen and sensitive. I had a one day period about four weeks ago. I have done four pregancy tests and they all come out negative. Yesterday I was relieved to come on my period but again it has been very light - not even enough for a tampon or pad only enough to dampen a liner. I am still feeling very sick. I have had enough of feeling so poorly. Could I be pregnant or am i going mad?

I'm 16 years old and my boyfriend and I had sex for the first time last weekend. We had it Thursday, Friday and Saturday Night..each time we used a condom and he pulled out before he got off. I was suppose to start my period Thursday (so 2 days ago) and I didnt. It's been two days and I still havent. I know abnormal periods are pretty normal for teens but for the past 3 months mine have been on time even to the hour...I'm just really scared...is my fear unjustified?

My period was on the 5th of this month and I stopped around the 8th. I've been having the symtoms of pregnancy for about 3 days straight. The symtoms are headaches, backaches, nausea, stomach pains, my sides hurt and I've been really tired and I haven't been getting much sleep lately. I went to the doctor yesterday. The doctor told me it could be side affects. I was taking birthcontrol and I had trouble getting the brand I use (Ovcon 35) because of the medicaid. I didn't have it with me at the time. The gave me a substitute called Balziva. I was already feeling nauseaous (Monday). I started taking the pills on Tuesday I read the package it said to take 2 so I did and ever since then I've been feeling bad. I've taken 3 pregnancy test during this time and they all were negative. During this time I was taking my birthcontrol Ovcon 35. I took all the inactive pills and 4 days of active pills of Balziva. If I'm pregnate can thuis affect the baby.

Thanks and God bless

my mom founf out she was pregnant a couple months ago..
and like 2wks ago she found out she had miscarried, and
i was thinking about it. and it got me thiinking
..when people die, their soul goes up to heaven right? NO i know that IM NOT stupid. but what if you have a miscarriage?
do you think that the baby's soul goes up to heaven? or what?
because technically, it wasnt even born yet, so it cant die if it wasnt born..
BUT it did have a heart and everything, so it was a person.
i was just wondering, and i'd like to see what your opinions are

Hello! Maybe some of you have been through this and know what the heck this is:

1. My hands and arms have felt tingly the last week
2. I have no desire or motivation to do anything physical - I haven't been going to work (housecleaning jobs) - I quickly start getting either braxton hicks contractons that don't want to stop, or else the baby is moving like CRAZY and will not stop!
3. He presses against my skin and it feels like when you have that weird sharp pain in your belly button - all over my stomach
4. I am HOT. My husband says the house is cold.
5. My face looks puffy and splotchy.

What is going on? I am drinking plenty of water, eating right, and getting enough sleep (besides 5 trips a night to the bathroom!!) I'm not stressed out or anything!
