Pregnancy - May 2007

I am 19 (kinda young) and work full-time at an office making good money and have excellent health insurance. I live with my boyfriend, who makes almost as much as I do, so I can't afford to not have a job. Well I've been here for just over 3months and I am 10 weeks pregnant (just found out April 2), so my due date is Nov. 27. How and when should I tell my boss that I'm pregnant? What determines if my job is worth holding for me? Can they still let me back after 2 or 3 weeks after the babys born (I plan I using my 40 hrs vacation and 40 hrs personal time for 2 of those weeks)? I'm afraid I'll be discriminated cuz my boss always talks about how everyone in our department is young enough to be her kids and everyone here treats us (our department consists of 19-22 year olds) as if we are kids. WHAT DO I DO? I NEED THIS JOB AND INSURANCE.

Both sides of this pro-life/pro-choice debate have pretty much forced themselves into two polar opposite camps.

The pro-lifers are committed to pushing 100% abstinence, no contraceptives, shame and fear of sin and so on. Abstinence doesn't work as a policy. Studies show kids in abstinence classes have premarital sex at the same ratio as other kids, possibly even higher. You can't expect people to live like monks and nuns, not even monks and nuns.

The pro-choice side has a more accepting view of allowing people to be humans. Contraceptives, sex ed for teens, prenatal counseling for pregnant moms and so on. But they're 100% in favor of abortion on demand, and focus on that more than they should have to.

I think it's a good idea to open a counseling center somewhere that'd give information on contraceptives, sex ed for teens, prenatal counseling for pregnant moms and so on AND be pro life, helping expectant mothers find adopting couples and so on.

Anyone think it might work?

I am 13 weeks pregnant. The doctor gave me folic acid to take everyday for 6-7 months. I live in Spain and in England they onlt tell you to take it for the first 3 months. I was really good and took it everyday for the first month then |I got severe tonsilitis and couldn't take it. Now I seem to keep forgetting (im forgetting everything these days). Am I damaging my baby by not taking it everyday at this stage?

I went in for my first prenatal appt yesterday. I am 9 weeks pregnant today. The midwife that saw me said that it was probably too early to hear the heartbeat, but she said I might be farther along. She felt the top of my uterus a little higher than normal for 9 weeks. She put the dopplar on my belly and in less than a min, she found the heartbeat and it was strong and very clear. Is 9 wks too early to hear the heartbeat, or could I be farther along?

I am 35 weeks pregnant. I go to the DR tomorrow and I have been debating on what kind of BC to use after the baby comes. At first I was sure I wanted to get my tubes tied, ( this is my third, with my husband and I'm 26). But last week the midwife I seen was telling me horror stories of wanting to have kids later in life and not being able to and I was too young. I also have a problem with my pelvis that makes being pregnant very hard on me. She had mention this Mirena IUD, but I am very sensitive to ANY kind of hormonal BC. I have tried pills, patches, shots, everything and had to quit because of the side effects. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this Mirena. The procedure they want to do for the tubal is the Essure(?) and I've never heard of this either, it's done in the DR's office with no sedation, so that kindda scares me too. Just wondering if anyone had any experiences with either. Thanks!!

My doctor just put me on the pill. How well does it work? It says to start it on the first Sunday of your period. I'm really worried that I won't do this right and I will get pregnant. Does anyone have any helpful hints?

There is a woman from China who already has one child. She is pregnant again and wants to keep the second child. Her husband and his family are telling her to have an abortion, but her and her parents want to keep it.
Her husband has a very high working status and will be taken from his position if he has a second child. WIth no work, their family will be left to starvation.
Their first child is about 8 years old and her parents live in the US...
She just came to the US on a Visa but didn't know about her pregnancy until she went back...

What should she do? How can she get back to the US?
Oh, and Abortion is NOT and option....

I am 32 weeks pregnant at the moment & although it has not bothered me previously I am now starting to get worried about labour. The reason I am so worried is because lately when my partner & I have sex it hurts & I feel really sore afterwards. It seems as if there is not enough lubrication & the friction when having sex causes it to hurt. I don't know why this is happening as this wasn't the case before. My partner says that I keep tensing up. Anyway my point is if it hurts that much when having sex, how am I going to push a baby out of there?? I am worried I'll tear or won't be able to push my baby out & have to have a c section which I am terrified of. Has anyone else experienced this pain when having sex at this stage of pregnancy? Any tips on how to stop it from hurting? And will I be ok in labour? Will I be able to push my baby out? This is my first baby.

Its so confusing trying to figure out your due date because ive heard they go by your last period, but then that would make you father along then you really are because your not pregnant during your last period...so I guess what im wondering is...if my last period was March 23rd 2007, and according to fertility friends I ovulated on April 18th (my cycle is 38 days long with an 11 day lutel phase) how far along would I be today?? and when would my due date be?? Please answer if you really know how this works...its so confusing, Thanks!!
