Why Or Why Not?

my due date is the 27th of this month, but my doc insist that I be induced at next week on the 20th...I was a little off by that, arent docs suppose to wait till at least two weeks after a due date to begin induction...she claims theres no reason for me to wait, because the babies already considered full term at 37 weeks...Ive been healthy my whole pregnancy and there really is no need for her to really rush things...Does this sound NORMAL? what should I do, should I wait till my due date or wait to see if the baby comes on her own....

p.s. I saw doc today and she said im already 2-3 centimeters dialated....does that mean i can go into labour by myself or i should just go ahead and let her do the induction...so cinfused FIRST TIME MOMMY!!!

I am almost 36 weeks pregnant... yay! Anyway, the last week or so I have been having a dull aching in my hoo haa and very low back. It's nothing that can be counted for how long it last really, it's just dull and feels like menstral cramps kind of. I haven't had any Braxton Hicks contractions yet, that I know of. Is this just normal aching, or could this be what Braxton Hicks feels Like? I have a doctors appointment in like 4 days, so I will find out then, but I was just curious if anyone else might have some knowledge. Thanks!

I read that you can do this, has anyone tried it and it been sucessful. BTW I am 33weeks prego, with recurrent yeast infection. I'm afraid to keep using the creams as I also read that some may enter the placenta. Also I think I may have dialated some, i'm just scared that it will somehow get to my baby, so I rather do it more natural.

How hungry are/were you during your pregnancy and how often did you eat?

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and ever since I hit 11 weeks my stomach is always empty no matter how much I eat. I eat all day sometimes small meals, sometimes big meals but I will have 10 to 15 meals per day. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling as if I haven't eaten for days. I don't know where the food is going because, thank God, I haven't been gaining any weight. As a matter of fact, I'm not even showing. I finally got past the chronic nausea phase but ever since I've been in the chronic hunger phase. Has anyone ever experienced this?

I don't understand.... it seems to me that it would be the opposite. My OB said a first pregnancy will see the baby drop early, possibly at 36 weeks. But a 2nd, 3rd, 4th preg, the baby doesn't drop until you actually go into labour. I'm on #3, but was induced at 36 weeks for my 2nd, so I didn't notice her drop for obvious resons. I just would think that since you've already laboured and delivered previously, the body would be less elastic and the baby would descend into the pelvis for delivery earlier. Any comments?

The top of my legs (my inner thigh) hurts so bad!! I feel like I can barely move my legs. It is worse on the left side and it feels like maybe a muscle or tendon or something that connects your leg to your pubic bone or pelvis. It hurts worse when I first stand up and get moving but sometimes I feel like I can barely move my legs! It's not my sciatic nerve...I know what that feels like. I hope this makes sense! lol...does anyone know what I am talking about and if there is anyway to ease the pain? It's not excruciating, just very uncomfortable!

having a baby is amazing im sure, but after seeing a lot of ur questions and how miserable a lot of u feel and all the random pains and symptoms, doesnt it freak anyone out?
i mean reading some of this stuff kinda scares me, like going through all this. i have anxiety so im gonna have to practically live with a dr til i give birth, i know ill worry so much about every pain and headache and stomach ache i get.

dont get me wrong ,i love kids and i absolutly cant wait to have them, but do a lot of people really feel so miserable while pregnant?

Its my first, and I think Id like to ask for one.
My question is, is the DR or hospital allowed to deny me it?
Vaginal I know is better, but not for me...
I have medi-cal type insurance.. can they deny it if its not needed?
thank you all so much

At my baby shower i had a book for everyone to put advice in or a little inside joke or something. Well i had my friends there from parenting class and while i was in parenting class during the school year i ended up killing 2 or 3 of them fake baby dolls you take home with you, or they would just die on me. Anyway so my friend put on the advice page,"remember you don't have a 2and or 3rd chance on this one so don't kill it" and earily that day we were even taking about it, but my almost in laws- my boyfriends aunt and grandma read that and started freaking out asking my boyfreinds mom if i was pregnant before and things! and they apparenty didn't hear the inside joke eariler and finally they asked me and im like no, its from a parenting joke and had my boyfriend tell them becuz i didn't feel like explaining. I was just wondering if this would of upset and what you would have done or said? I just kind of ignored it but i did have me upset. Did you ever have any drama like that? Thanks

I have two beautiful kids 4 and 2 and pregnant with another, which i am so happy, but after sort of telling my mom, she was not happy at all, saying that i should not have 3 bec. 2 is hard and I should worry about them and there future.

She is also very sick and on alot of medication and chemo, i did not exactly tell her i was pregnant, but when her reaction was not what i had excepted, I dropped it.

I am very hurt and that fact that she will not be pleased when i actually do tell her. My husband and myself did plan this pregnancy so I do not know what to think.

The way I feel now is that I want to sell my house and move far away.

Any help out there? Thanks.

Never been to a baby shower before. My man and I are thinking about naming our baby Noah so I picked a theme and is ark animals. I found some really cute deco at the party store with baby animals in arks haha :) My mom is planning it for me and this is a rough look at what's supposed to happen at the shower:

> People arrive, greet, etc
> Let people eat, play music in background to just chill to
> Play games ( like 6 or 7 quick ones)
> Announce winner of raffle (we're having people bring a pack of diapers to be entered into a raffle for a nice prize)
> Open presents.
> For anybody staying (which most likely my aunt's won't leave until later on in the day) she wants to play some songs for us to dance to

Does that sound ok? Do you think we should dance for a bit and THEN open presents? Also, if you don't think dancing is tacky, does anybody know of some songs along the lines of the Electric Slide and The Cha Cha slide?

Thank you so much!!!

I am five months pregnant and currently in the process of moving in with the in-laws. My husband and I will only be living there temporarily to save money for my maternity leave. (As a state employee, I do not qualify for disability. I didn’t find this out until I was already pregnant. I am the main bread-winner, and therefore we rely heavily on my paycheck). We need to save about $10,000 before the baby is born and this was the only solution we could come up with.

My in-laws are awesome people, but I know there will be moments when I feel extremely uncomfortable (especially as I enter my third trimester). My husband and I have only been married 10 months, so I still don’t feel completely at ease with them. I don't know what is going to be expected of me and I don’t want to act like an ungrateful mooch.

How can we live with my in-laws over the next few months, but maintain a sense of independence? How can we ensure that the arrangement stay amicable? Any ideas?
