Pregnancy - June 2007

I am 21 weeks pregnant and made the decision to give birth at my local birth centre. (I am in the UK.) However, I am getting increasingly worried at the prospect of giving birth in a non medicalised unit, for fear anything should go wrong and my baby, or myself, should need urgent intervention. (The nearest hospital is a 30 minute car journey.) Another concern is that new mums are sent home on the same day. What are your thoughts on this?

This is probably a silly question, but thought i'd be safe rather than sorry... can I still use this on my legs when pregnant?

me and my boyfriend had sex about two weeks ago unprotected, but he pulled out. Its been a week since my period should have been here, should i get a pregnacy test done now? Ive also been reallyu stressed out lately, so maybe that is what is delaying my period. I dont know which one it could be?

I am 31 weeks and am having a c-section due to problems with my first child that I delivered vaginally two years ago. I am scared about the pain afterwards. I really don't want to have the c-section but have no choice really. Can anyone tell me specifically what it feels like? Will I be able to play with my daughters? Pick either of my children up? Or will it hurt too badly? I don't think I could go a whole 6-8 weeks without picking up my toddler and that's what all the websites say.

I'm 36 wks and had a doctors appt. today and they said that I was 2 cm dilated. I have more discharge than I have had throughout my whole pregnancy and am cramping also. Although the cramping is not occurring right at this second, I do keep getting really sharp pains right above my vagina, in the pelvic area. Can anybody tell me what this is?

Planned Parenthood is a complete pain in the ***, i tried going there and they were no help at the Sacramento office. Plus, they are full till mid july! i just want to get BC pills, like i had been for years...but now they dont have time for me. Is there anywhere else I can go for inexpensive BC? I dont need to be referred by a doctor to see a specialist via insurance. Or, like planned parenthood, is there any other place that provides the pill to people who dont have insurance and need them cheap?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or answers for me. I did a pregnancy test 1 week ago and got a positive result. The following day i had some spotting and this lasted for a day. I have done several more tests which still give me a faint positive. Today i have done another test and it has come back negative. I am now 4weeks if i am still pregnant. Can anyone please have any advice they can give me as i am at my wits end.

My wife and I just had an ultrasound yesterday. The doctor gave us fetal neck measurements of 2.9, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.5 . The doctor states that we are at 12 weeks on his charts, we think we are at 14 weeks by ours. My wife is 30 years old, we have two healthy children and this is our third child. He suggested further tests due to the possibility of Downs Syndrome. We taped the ultrasound and I've reviewed his measurements. They seem close to his measurements based on his crosshairs (of coarse I'm going to think they are less). How concerned should we be that this baby may have Downs? I havn't found anything that really tells me actual percentages? We're going to go ahead with further testing at a later stage, for now we have just done the positive/ negative blood test and are awaiting results. Thx in advance for any comments.

I just got the result and the test from tuesday was 201 and the test from Thursday was 312 the nurse said they like to see it double but it could be that I'm so early in my pregnancy I have to wait until Monday to talk to my doctor to see what she says about it but I'm a nervous wreck I ask should I be worried the nurse said no has anyone had a test that did not double I'm freaking out what could be the cause I'm 5 weeks pregnant

update doctor called me to have another test done Monday I asked her is this something I should be worried about and she said it's hard to say with just one test...now I feel more scared then I was before I thought if it's going up it's good is this normal to have three test like this I will not have a ultrasound until the 10th of July because it's to soon using the date from my last period (may 24) I'm 5 weeks pregant but I'm really only 3 weeks...I think that's right I soo scared I can't even think

I don't get to see my doctor until the 9th. And I don't have any family doctors. I just got DSHS. I spoke the a pharmasist and they told me that i can't take any type of medicine but I feel like crap. My nose and lungs are completly congested. I usually end up in the emergency room with bronchitis when I get sick. What can I do and me being sick does that effect the baby at all?

Now i myself am not pregnant, I had my baby in April, My sister in law is due in Aug. Now with her last baby she was always over exagerating and every day saying she was in labor, went to the hospitol about 10 times before the real thing. Anywho she is sched to have a c-sec in the 29th, she has already gone in twice, she said the last time she was having contractions and she SAID they told her she was in active labor, but yet sent her home. Now her Dr told her that she wanted a csection done before going into active labor. Now i just want to make sure, dont you have to be dialated to a 4 before considered active labor? Dont you think she would have had to stay to have the c-section if she was infact in active labor? My husband (her bro) is worried about her, im trying to explaine to him she is just over reacting. And that she is not in labor she is just haveing what most all moms have braxton hicks. And is just paranoid and she always wants attn. Does this sound like she is over react?
