Pregnancy - September 2007

i will be officially due this friday, and at my last appointment i had absolutely no progress. i haven't felt much different this week than last, so i believe i still have not made any. if i go in on wednesday and i still have made no progress, will i get an ultrasound or anything? i am miserable and it hurts just to walk. i am hoping for an induction at this point, but if i have made no progress, they can't even do that, can they? i know everyone is going to say "you're not even past your due date" and "you just have to wait"...i don't want those answers...i just want to know what everyone else has experienced as far as being 40 weeks with no progress. like, what the doc said and what happened afterwards, etc. thanks!!!

I am 15 weeks pregnant with first baby at age 37, I am 100 lbs 5 feet
I have had shortness of breath here and there during pregnancy, but it goes away with rest. Nausea is common, but no vomit, until today...
Last night when I went to bed wasn't able to breath easily and I felt chest pressure, like someone was pressing their fist against my chest. I sat down for 20 minutes, it became better I was able to lay down.
This morning around 10, I started with the pressure and difficulty breathing again, after a few minutes became worse and, suddenly, I had to run the bathroom and I vomited for the first time in this pregnancy, after that I felt better, but Is it normal to have chest pressure?

I am 28 weeks pregnant with baby #2. So far the pregnancy has been uneventful, but over the last 3 weeks, I've been having a really difficult time - head aches and crippling back pain that is relieved only when I lie down in a particular position. My commute to work is over an hour on a crowded subway, which has lately become completely impossible. I am wondering whether this is something that I should bring up to my doctor? Does this warrant bed rest or early leave/disability, or are these just common pregnancy symptoms and I should deal? (By the way, I didn't have any such problems with my first pregnancy two years ago). Thanks!

1. I am currently 18 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my first child. I started feeling flutters during the 17th week in the latter part. Today my tummy is really tight at the bottom but I haven't really been feeling any movement. What is the baby doing when it's not moving? Sleeping?

2. Next Wednesday I'll be exactly 5 months pregnant and the ultrasound will be Thursday on the 20th. I'll finally be able to know if I'm having a baby boy or girl. Can anyone think of some cool ideas or hints to give people to let them know what my fiance and I are expecting?

Thank you very much and I appreciate all your answers!!!

Twice I have been pregnant and when I went in for an ultrasound (still in my 1st trimester) I was carrying a baby with no heartbeat. Since I'm pregnant again, I was just wondering how long is the longest amount of time before your body recognizes the baby is dead? And will it make you start to feel sick or any other symptoms if it goes for a long time?

I am 15wks pregnant and i am the youngest in my family(im 21 yrs old). When my brother found out i was pregnant he was very upset due to the fact that his wife and him have been trying for 2 years to get pregnant. Today at dinner my brother was talking to my dad about being a grandpa again(i have a neice and a nephew from my sister) my dad said he is excited then my brother DROPPED THE BOMB that they are expecting now too!!! she is only about 5 wks pregnant. I am sooooooo excited for them! but then i got kinda jealous because now the attention is away from me a little bit. I feel bad about it but am still a lil upset....how do i handle this situation? I am happy and sad at the same time. I am happy that our little ones will be close in age and get to grow up together. I dont want to feel this way but i do!! any advice?? please no rude comments!

I have been taking Optinate Prenatal Vitamins (which comes with 250 DHA capsule) for about two weeks now.

But this brand doesn’t contain Vitamin A. Should I be concerned?

Has anyone else been in the same situation?

ok so i went to the hospital today cause i was certain i was having contractions, but they were super painful and almost intolerable and i thought for sure something was wrong. Well after being monitored for an hour, they are braxton hicks contractions but what i don't get is i'm only 13weeks pregnant how come i can feel them now? I have had 3 kids before and i know all pregnancies are different but i have never had these before, is it common for women to get them this early or am i just an oddball?

Ok so the way it was explained to me i can tell i am having braxton hicks contractions if my stomach feels all hard...
only my stomach ALWAYS feels all hard... like a friggin rock.. I get crampy feelings and these pains down in the vaginal area, kinda sharp pains, but my midwife says thats just ligaments stretching..
i'm 36 weeks, and i just was curious if my midwife has finally lost her mind.. she's kinda old and getting ready to retire.. lol

My older brother was trying to tell me that semen itself isn't what gets a girl pregnant, that precum is. From what I remember in Health class in school, semen in general carries sperm. I used to think that just semen got you pregnant, and then some friends told me that precum can too, then my brother is telling me that only precum is what gets you pregnant and that pulling out doesn't matter.. if the precum got in you anyway. To me it doesn't really make sense that only precum can get you pregnant.. if sperm banks have you get off and put your semen in a cup. Can anyone clear this up for me? Anyone that really knows, because I am tired of hearing different stories about this... I want to know exactly whats right and whats not.

*FYI* We got on this subject when he found out that my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex... *

with my first son I told my mom that we didn't want anyone in the room with us and my mom and his mom (my mom-in-law) stayed anyway even after i told them no before I started pushing, the nurses and doctor didn't even kick them out after i said no.

now with my second i have told my mom several times that we again wanted to do this by ourselves but she keeps asking me if we are going to let her and his mom watch again and I keep telling her no. She says that you only get to see your grandbaby be born once. she has already seen one born and her mom was never in her delivery room. she wont take no for an answer.

with my first son my hubby didn't even get to see him come out because she stood in the way and wouldn't let him see. we don't want this to happen again and I have told her this and that nobody but me and him were to be in there. Does anybody have any ideas on how to make her understand she has been buged me about this since I got prag. I am 38.5 wks

Months ago when i found out i was pregnant,(by the way I am 19) i was going in for a pap smear,It was unexpected but the thing is how my doctor told me, He told me he had some bad news and I got alll nervous and scared think he would say that i would have cervic cancer or some but he said i was pregnant. Do you think that was kind of mean just because I am young? I finish high school with a advance diploma, I am in the miliatary and soon to start college majoring in pediatric nursing. So either way i can and am able to take care of my child and I am still with the father i have know for 5 years now. But do u think that was rude of my doctor to tell me like that?

Mothers of twins, when did you start feeling fetal movement with your multiples?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and today I felt fetal movement. This my 4th pregnancy so I know EXACTLY what it feels like and that's what I felt today (for the first time). I am totally baffled and can only wonder if perhaps I'm having twins.

I am 30 years old and my grandmother had fraternal twins. Two of my cousins have also had fraternal twins.

This is my second child, I was in labor for 33 1/2 hours with my first (start to finish) but I've been having contractions since Thursday at 3PM. Everytime I go to the hospital they have no room and say that they wont induce me to help me get father along. My normal doctor will be back from holidays monday but untill then I've been told to take the Tylenol 3s and to walk around. Its been 75hours of this and I am getting frustrated that nothing will ever happen farther then this. I'm 4 cm dilated and over 50% afaced. As of this tuesday I'll be 38 weeks. They say in my pregnancy book that you can be like this for weeks with no pain but only 24 hrs in pain. I've been going for days in pain. HELP is this normal?????

Thanks!
