I am 35 weeks pregnant...I am on Medicad.So i do not know if it is just my doctor or Medicad.But my doctor is not very thorough at all.I have major swelling in my feet, around my eyes, and i have gained 8 pounds in 2 weeks.She says that i should drink more water( i drink about a gallon a day!) and put my feet up(I do for about 2 hours in the morning, and a couple right before i go to bed.) I am starting to get concerned it might be preeclampsia..Has anyone had these sysptoms and not had pre-e? Or should i try to go see another doctor? If i do have it, is it harmful for me and the baby or just me?? Please help me..

I'm getting married at 35 and considering children (I have none). Is this dangerous for me or the baby?

I'm 11 weeks pregant with my first child, and I had a very wierd doctors visit.

It started out normal take your weight and then ask you to leave a urine sample.

Normal right?

I was told there were cups in the restroom and to just leave it on the sink.

This would be normal if only when I went into the restroom there was not someone else's sample waiting on the sink for the nurse to take care of.

I thought this was unprofession, and very unsanitiary. Plus the cups were unmarked so who's was it and how long could that cup have been sitting there before I told them?

Then why do I tell my doctor I'm having problems and that I'm in quite a bit of pain and she basicly ignore me?

Yes she did schedule me to come and see her in a week.
But the pain was soooo unbareable that I was found going to the er two days later. only to find out the the problem that my dr ignored could infact cause a miscarriage.

I'm really freaked out and honestly just want to know what anyone else would do

My 3 year old doesn't seem to understand(or want to understand) that I am having another baby and that he can't rough house with me the way he used too. I have tried the baby in Mommy's belly talk but he either doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand and continues to try to jump into my lap or sit on my belly while I am trying to lay down for a moment. I have tried telling him that he is hurting me but it doesn't stop him. Not even a time out helps. How can I help understand that this is not okay and that there is a baby in there that he could hurt too? Are there any good movies or books that could help?

So I'm 36 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Anyway, lately I feel like I can't get enough sleep. I sleep a lot but it doesn't seem like it's enough. I had the normal pregnancy tiredness in the beginning of my pregnancy and it went away and now it's comeback and it's worse then ever. When I was preganant with my daughter I never felt sleepy past the first trimester and now I can't get enough sleep. I've been blessed with a little girl that sleeps 12 hours a night so I sleep just as much it just doesn't seem like enough.

The father is being a real jerk. I work, live with my parents have a car, but I do not feel like I am ready and do not want to deal with the babies father the rest of my life. I have prayed about it but cannot reach a decision. I feel like I'm not ready for my life to change. But then again I feel like I should just have the child since I put myself in this situation. Adoption is not an option for me.

Ok does this happen to anyone else? I can be sitting down for a while and then all of a sudden I stand up really quick and I get a contraction. It happens all the time when I'm sitting and get up all of a sudden. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and just had a really strong one right now. Is this normal?

I have low blood pressure this pregnancy. it has gone down to 94 and been around 125 usually. I was btween 135-140 before I was pregnant. I have been feeling great since being pregnant. I am thinking its the blood pressure.

But how low is too low and when can it cause a problem for the baby if ever? I have felt dizzy but not passing out. I know they say that moving around helps and I am doing that . But when my dr's off saw that it was 100/80 they said nothing about it ( even though they used the regual cuff on me and they were supposed to use the bigger cuff--reg cuff shows a false high reading--so the 100 was high)

I have a home BP monitor and I ahve looged myself as having bp as low as 89/80

can someone help me please.

Okay, i am 14 weeks right now, i know i still have at least 6 weeks to see find out the baby's sex. Now, would it be smart to get the ultrasound determining the sex from the doctor's office and then getting a 3d/4d scan afterwards to actually 'see' the picture instead of guessing how many lines you see or if you see a little 'turtle'? What are your thoughts? I'm so excited... i hope it's a beautiful little girl, but i would be so happy with a boy also...! :)

I'm only at 35 weeks and my baby weighs 7lbs! The doc says if I go to term he'll be around 10lbs. Anyone have any experience with this and what are my chances of going early?

My first child came at 38 weeks, my second at 35 weeks, and now I'm 33 weeks and we are expecting the new baby any day because I just had a baby last june. I really want to breastfeed and haven't been able to in the past. Since I already have colostrum, how wrong would it be to start pumping for the new baby? Would it cause contractions, because that's not the goal?

I'm 19 weeks, and my son's kicking is getting fairly frequent, but I've noticed he ALWAYS kicks while Im reading with a book propped on my belly (no, I'm not mashing down with it and squishing him, it's just resting lightly). He gets his little feet under the edge of it and pokes and pushes against it, every single time. I was just curious if anyone else had noticed certain things that always set baby into motion for them!
