Ok Iast night I had strong cramping as if my period was going to start now I'm getting the same cramping and my body is aching and so is my stomach. As in my last post my stomach ache is getting worse. The back pain I have goes away but comes back and when I lean into it it helps. Anyone have any ideas? I think I need to have my cervix checked again. I was dialated at 4cm on thursday and my doctor is booked for the day. Should I just go to the labor and delivery and just see if my cervix has changed?

Dont want to hear he'll come when he's ready either. If it was up to my 1st child, he would've stayed in 1 full month after he was due. Serious answers pls. and i am 38 weeks pregnant, full term,2nd child.

Well yesterday it started I went to the DR and he told me I was measuring at 39 weeks (I am 36) and I probably won't go full term. But then not a change in my cervix and my baby hasn't dropped all the way down yet, even though I have an extreme amount of pressure! I got home from work last night and my dogs got out so I had to run around and catch them, lol. I didn't think I'd be able to run this big until last night, I didn't want them to get hit by a car. ANYWAY, after I got them I was having serious contractions I thought for sure that put me in labor. I got some water and started walking with my daughter around the neighborhood. I was timing them at 4 mins or so apart and each one hurt like hell. So I called my mother in law and told her to get ready, I went home and relaxed for a little while still getting them. But then all of a sudden they started dying down and I was just cramping. And then NOTHING. What happened? I thought I was going to have a baby! What does this all mean?

I'm 18 weeks preg (first baby) and I've been having round ligament pain since 16 weeks on my right side - pretty severe... just wondering if anyone knew of anything that gave some relief to the pain? (ie - hot showers, laying on left side, massaging it - I have no idea) :) If there's anything out there or anyone knows anything, that would be helpful - thanks! :)

I am 38 weeks pregnant and we know the baby has a single umbilical artery. I just had an ultrasound and the baby is measuring at 36 weeks. Is this a problem?

I gave birth to my baby boy on Sunday at 3:57 am. He was 5'9lbs. I went to the hospital for my drs. appointment and my blood pressure was still acting up so they decided to admit me until they had room to induce me. Saturday night my blood pressure was acting up again in the hospital so they decided they would just induce me then. They checked my cervix and it was 3 cm dialted. After that I started having contractions. They hooked me up to IV and started the induction at 10:45pm. So this labor was a whole 5 hours, which is awesome compared to the 22 hour labor I had when they induced me with my daughter.
I just wanted to give you guys an update to say that you'll now see me posting in the newborn section!!! Thanks to all those who gave me advice.

I had a doctor's appt last week when I was 10 weeks pregnant because I was having some brown spotting. All they did at the appt. was listen for the heartbeat, which they found and said it sounded strong. I still had some brown spotting for a couple of days after my appt. Now I'm 11 weeks pregnant and the spotting has stopped, but my nausea seems to be going away, could I have had a missed miscarriage even though we just heard the hearbeat a week ago? By the way, the doctor told me not to worry about the spotting, but I still do, even though its gone now.

I'll be 40 weeks tomorrow. Last night I was having TONS of Braxton Hicks. Normally I just get a few during the day while at work but from 4pm on last night my stomach felt like a python was wrapped around it. I wasn't crampy but my lower back was hurting (not crampy just - hurting). I had some major pressure in my pelvis too. I was timing these BH contractions and they were 3 minutes apart. They eased off during the night and I'm still having some this morning. Do you think my body is gearing up for real labor maybe?? I'm just so scared I'll have to be induced, so I''m really hoping my body is getting ready to do it own its own.

I had my membranes stripped 2 days ago - I didn't even cramp afterward.

What's your opinion? I know every labor is different, I'm just hoping to go natural.

THANKS!!!!

Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex for 3 days before i was suppose to start my period. I did start the next day but it didnt last as long. I've heard u can have bleeding and still be pregnant. Now i've been having headaches, i've been sick at my stomach, and a small fever. I heard another sign was your boobs getting sore but that hasn't happened yet. My next period should be in 2 days and i ALWAYS have cramps before but none yet. Is it likely i could be pregnant?

I have all these doubts about my c-sec done 4 years back. My LMP ws on 18th Dec, and I had irregular periods before that. I was on medication to get pregnant, and so can say for sure that I conceived on 31st Dec. I was told that my due date was Sep 25. Nothing happened till Sep 28th. Then I was told to come in to be induced. They put a vaginal gel in (no records as to what it was), and in a couple of hours, I could see my uterus contracting, but no pain. Doc kept checking for dilation, and said that there wasn't anything happening in 4 hours. Immediately I was scheduled for a c-sec, saying that since I was 'overdue', trying for a vaginal delivery MAY result in fetal distress.

I have been doing a lot of reading now, since am expecting my second baby in oct, and would like to try a vbac, and am truly wondering why my doc didn't try anything else. Was she hasty in going for a c-sec? Any ideas?

Has anyone else experienced lasting personality changes after the birth of a baby? I had my son 14 months ago and personality changes that occurred during my pregnancy are still the same. I'm suddenly a neat freak (2 years ago I never even made my bed....now I can't stand the thought of a dirty fork), and my sex drive changed. This has nothing to do with lifestyle changes either. It changed early in my pregnancy and even when my husband and I were on vacation for a week last march (our son was at grandma's and I had no reason to keep our hotel room spotless and I was very well rested) I was the same. Anyone else have this happen?

I've had two friends that are boys that when their mom's had an ultrasound, they were supposed to be girls. Do we have better ultrasounds now than we did 20 years ago (I'm assuming yes)?

Okay, so I think I may be pregnant, but not entirely sure....need to take a test but don't know if i want to know the answer yet or not. My question however is have any of you experienced or heard of experiences of womens cervix becoming larger/swollen during the early stages of pregnancy?? Or when going off birth control?? To the point of causing slight dull pain in the cervical region during intercourse
