I had my third ultrasound today. They told me my baby weighed 3 lbs 6 oz, and when I asked "isn't that a little much?" The tech told me that was "average". All of the web sites and baby books I have looked at say the baby should weigh around 2 lbs.

I have not gained too much weight, and all the weight I have gained is in my belly. Will my baby be large at birth based on this or could her growth slow down?

Has anyone had a similar experience and the baby was not a 10 pounder?

I am 39w5d, and will probably be induced sometime next week because I am not showing any signs on dilating, and there has been complications with the baby. I have been worried about those days recovering from labor. So, here's my questions.

1. When there is a tear/episiotomy, when are the stitches removed? How uncomfortable or difficult did this make things such as walking, bowel movements, and urination?

2. The bleeding that occurs after delivery, does it really last for 6 weeks? Is it a heavy bleeding or does it tapor off eventually?

3.I've heard sex is not reccomended during those 6 weeks because of infection. Did everyone wait the recommended 6 weeks? If not, was there complications because of intercourse?

Any answers would be helpful.. thanks, people!

I hear that around 16 weeks women feel movement. I have felt what could be movement I guess (like bubbles popping). But it wasn't clear to me, so I'm not sure. And when will I feel kicking and all of that? Thanks!

and within the last 3 days have been losing my mucus plug, yesturday went to labor and delivery with contractions (not painful just BH.) closer than 5 minutes apart for 6 timed hours. They didnt let up after tried laying down, drinking water, taking shower nothing stopped them. Then they sent me home because I wasnt dialating anymore than 2, I am currently 2 cen 90% effaced and at -2 position. Got home from hospital contractions kept up but they said they werent strong enough to be doing anything to my cervix, well, today they are still going but about 10 minutes apart now. Just wondering what could speed it up and if anyone thinks it will come soon.. Its my first baby.

I went to the ER on the 30th of July, but knew if I was pregnant it happend probably the 23rd of July - that's 7 days after concieving - so my questions are...

1. I told the doctor I could possibly be pregnant, he insisted on a blood test - would it show up in a blood test 7 days after having unprotected sex??

2. Knowing that I may possibly be pregnant, he went ahead and sent me for stomach and chest x-rays - has about 4 stomach x-rays and 3 chest x-rays done...he didn't wait for the pregnancy test results, just sent me in - I told the x-ray tech that I may be pregnant (she didn't even ask) - and she said that it was okay and went ahead and did what she was told to do - since then I've been having terrible cramping....no spotting just cramping..

well the blood test came back negative at the end of the night, just 7 days after unprotected sex....was it too early to tell?? I am a week late for my period now, and home pregnancy tests are still showing negative as of 4 days ago..

My younger brother & his ex-gf have a baby on the way. She says that the court will make him pay child support even if she doesn't file for it or want it because she is on Medicaid. Is this true?

yesterday i had to go to the hospital to check if i was already dilated as i was had back pains and my lower abdomen was hurting, they said i had a 1 cm opening. Two days ago i went o the doctor and she said the baby's head was already engaged...This morning i woke up feeling like i'm going to have my period...both my legs are a bit numb and i have a lower back pain much like when you're going to have dysmennorhea. I also have brown mucus like discharges.

My question is, is this normal?, Am i going to go into labor soon?, what are these brown discharge i'm seeing?

I am 8 months pregnant and I just got my latest ultra sound and they said the babys head is measuring unusually big. My boyfriend said that that could be a sign that the baby has down syndrome. Could he be right?

HI, I am 37 weeks pregnant and have been having contractions since yesterday (22 hours) They started out about 1/2 hour apart and are now about every 10 min apart. They last for about one min. They are more painful then earlier too. I lost my mucus plug a week ago. My water has not broken, and I have had a bloody show from a pelvic exam yesterday so I dont know if the blood was from the exam or it was an actual bloody show. Do you think I am in labor? How long will it take for the contractions to get to five min apart? I know to go to the hospital when they are five min apart. Am I just getting excited over nothing?

Thank you

Counting from my LMP I will be 14 weeks on monday.
When I was 8 weeks I had an early ultrsound due to some bleeding, they didn't mention anything about dates. I had my doctor appointment the other day and she looked at the ultrasound and changed my due date which will make me 13 weeks on Tuesday.

Since a due date is only an estimate and can be 2 weeks out either way, is it really a big deal if I stick with my calculations. I like my original due date better (valentine's day LOL) and don't want to go back a week. I am so excited about this pregnancy and ready up every week how my bub is developing etc. I know that in the long run the doctor is right but sooner or later it's all gonna be the same or close enough Right?

Told you it was a stupid question!
