Pregnancy - May 2007

im 38 weeks 4 days and my doctor told me today that my cervix isnt softened or dilated at all but there seem to be loads of women on here who have been effaceing and dilating since 34 weeks and all. i know i maybe wont dilate at all till closer but i was under the impression that your cervix thins out a few weeks in advance. is it normal that i havent? i had a missed miscarriage last year and my cervix wasnt for opening at all, they did a d&c so that has me a bit worried.
anyway thanks for any help

I am just wondering how much longer?? I was 2-3 cm dilated two weeks ago, and last week I was a full 3 cms. and today I went to the doctor I am 4 cms and 90% effaced. Last week they didn't think i would make it another week but I did! I'm just wondering how long someone can walk around 4 cm with their first baby.

I had gestational diabetes with my three year old. I 28 weeks pregnant will be 29 weeks on Wednesday. I was tested with this pregnancy at 19 weeks and they told me I was normal. I was tested again last week and they said the test came back normal. I'm just wondering how many woman had it with their first pregnancy and didn't have it with their second.

I am 11 weeks preg. I have gone from a small 34B to a busting out 36C and now it is becoming painful around the band. Can anyone recommend a good store to go to that can help me find a bra that will be comfortable, affordable, and maybe last more than 2 months? Anyone know how much bigger they will get??

I feel stupid, this is my 3rd pregnancy but it's been 10 years since my last one and I don't remember it being this bad.

Thanks.

I'm on birth control, but for a couple days in March/April I'd forget to take the pill yet have sex with my boyfriend. I had my last period about three weeks ago, but for the past few weeks I've been feeling very ill. Whenever I stand up, I have to take a moment because it feels as if all the blood rushed from my head. I'm often light-headed, nauseous, and I'm always FEELING hungry but when I try to eat, I feel sick. I'm constantly tired and it's easy for me to get agitated with people. Are these early signs of a pregnancy? I'd be 100% sure of it, except that I just had my period after having two months of unprotected sex. Also I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. Would a test detect a pregnancy this early? Or should I wait a little while longer?

Also... if I think I'm pregnant, should I stop taking the pills? Would they affect the baby in any way?

I just found out this past Saturday that I am pregnant (we think maybe 4 weeks) and have a step class in less than an hour that I normally attend twice a week.
Does anyone have any advice as to whether I should keep taking that class... or switch to another type of exercise? I intend to talk to my OB, but that appointment isn't until the 11th of June.
I also intend to talk to my instructor tonight.... but just wondering if anyone had any advice?
Thanks!!!

I definatly want to!

Have any of you filmed yours?, Did you get any flack for doing it (I know most hospitals don't allow this or limit you on what you can film.)

Yeah . . I know the whole "malpractice" thing, I would think they would welcome it, unless they have something to hide. (Although I know people misrepresent things to get money for no real reason, so I can see it from "both sides of the fence" )

I have been on contraceptive Pill Cilest for about six months now. I have a boyfriend whom I've been with for two years and we have regular sex (three to four times a week). This month, I missed the first THREE pills of my packet and then my packet continued like this; taken two, missed two, taken two, missed one, taken one, missed one. I know my chances of pregnancy are high so when do you suggest I take a pregnancy test; should I finish my pack of Pills then test even if my fake period comes? Or should I finish my pack of Pills now and then wait for my period to come or should I take a test before my period arrives ? Thanks, Sara x

I was in an abusive relationship for a few years. I really loved and in some ways still love this guy but he's a drug addict and hit me and verbally abused me. I was very unhappy and trying to think of ways to leave anyway when I found out I was pregnant. That gave me the strength and resolve to leave him because I knew that he wouldn't stop just because I was pregnant and I knew he would keep hurting me and the baby. Now I'm close to 7 months pregnant and doing fine. I have a restraining order against him and though he's allowed to call once a week to check on his child he has only done so once. I don't want him around this baby, he is not a good person, but I am worried that he will try to get visitation rights and then take the baby away or even hurt it or worse just to get his 'revenge' against me for leaving him. What should I do?

i was hospitalized at 29 and 33 weeks for preterm labor but never put on bedrest. at 33 weeks they said i was 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced and baby at -2 station. at 33.5 weeks, my entire 5-inch long mucus plug came out and i'm continuing to lose bits. BH contractions are sporadic. what are the chances that i'll go more than a few weeks before labor? from what i read it could be a few days or a few weeks. i am 34.5 weeks now. thanks!

I am 36 weeks pregnant. This is what I am feeling: i get a low dull backache that really doesnt go away for about 30 minutes or so, but every so often (no more than 3 times in an hour) the pain will come around to the front lower abdomin. it feels just like period cramps. I was wondering what this is. I know some people have said that braxton hicks are painless that is why i am confused. i dont want to call my doctor because they will most likely have me come down ( i have already been in for false labor and dont want to do that again). Any advice?

I am 38 and a half weeks pregnant and my cervix doesn't seem to be doing much of anything. With my first pregnancy I wound up getting induced at 41 weeks and it was pure hell, and after 30 hours of labor i was still only 2 cm dilated, so i had to have a c-section. I really don't want to have another c-section and i really don't want to go late again either, I definitely feel closer than i did with my first, but my OBGYN says she cant fit even one fingertip in my cervix yet, could there be something wrong with my cervix that keeps it from dilating? If so, should i jsut schedule a c-section? my dr. says she realy doesn't want to induce me again because it didn't really help me last time, but i am so uncomfortable and i just want my baby to come. any advice or opinions?
