Pregnancy - April 2007

I am 23 yo college student and my bf and I broke up a week before we found out we were pregnant. I'm so worried about money and my future and being alone that is hard to be excited for the baby. I believe the baby is a blessing but I am just so scared. Should I move in with my parents even though I loathe the idea of being in the same house with them again? How will I survive? Am I a bad mom for worrying so much? I'm just looking for advice from mom's who have been in my similar situation...

I was a little throw off by my OB requesting an HIV and Hepatitis B test... I am 20 weeks along. Is this a common prenatal test? It now has me worried. Both my husband and I had other partners before we met... and now I am scared of the possibility that we might have something. Is this a normal scare or am I just being unneccessarily worried?

Everytime I see a question about abortion there is a pro-choice person asking how someone could let the government rule medical procedures. This is not a bash, because I am undecided on the issue, but here is the definition of a medical procedure:A medical procedure is a course of action intended to achieve a result in the care of patients, used by medical or paramedical personnel. What patient is being cared for during a partial birth abortion??

I took a pregnancy test after I was done peeing, the urine went across the two windows and a faint line went across the horizotal and then a minute later it went a way. Could I be pregnant? I am not due for my period until the 25th so it's still early.....
Also, my breast are sore. Last night I could't sleep b/c I felt something that was like pressure in my breasts. This has never happened to me. Is that a symptom?

I've had constant nausia for the last week and a half. I've always eaten spicey foods, but got heartburn the last time I just ate chips & salsa. So tired, every day. I've been on the pill for 8 years, and always take it right. Is it possible for me to get pregnant?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my first baby but I sometimes have mixed emotions. Sometimes I'll be excited and other times I'm afraid I won't want the baby once he gets here. Is this normal?

I would like some help with this... I am 17 weeks pregnant. And I was pretty sick last week and was tested for gestational diabetes... BUT my sugar came out low instead of high, to my surprise. It was 85, when normal is about 100. It wasn't per-say "abnormal" but it showed I may be slightly hypoglycemic. SOOOOO... my doctor said the right diet should fix my shakiness and sugar and such.... I have SUCH a hard time getting the right food because her guide lines for my "new diet" were this:
*low-carb (because those turn right into sugar- and not the good kind)
* higher protein
* whole-wheats/grains
Ok.................................. so she said I still need breads and stuff to fill up but not too much, what on earth is there to eat and snack on thats low-carb? All my snacks were usually crackers, a muffin.... sandwich...
Any suggestions?

Whe can you find out the sex of your baby (how many weeks) I've heard some people say it's 16 weeks, some say 18 and others only 20.

On my 1st pregnancy i had no strech marks on my belly, but i did get them on my hips. I´ll be 28 weeks tomorrow and still no strech marks, but with a huge belly. Does this mean I won't have them or do they appear in the last trimester??
PS I had a huge belly from the beginning, though it's much bigger now that on my 1st pregnancy.
Thanks
