Pregnancy - October 2007

I am due on the 29th of November with my first baby and live in Arkansas but my aunts want to throw a babyshower in Tennesse on the 15th of November and I'm not sure if its a good idea to leave that close to my due date and if for some reason i have the baby early and don't have it in the hospital here I am still going to get charged for it here. So i don't know if i should go or they also said they could give me the money they were going to use for the baby shower.

This is my first pregnancy. I want to have my baby natural for a number of reasons but I'm still scared to death. I know women have been doing it since the beginning of time but I don't know. Is there anyone who had a natural child birth? Would you do it again? Do the contractions actually feel worse then the birthing process? Also could you describe all the pain in detail if you remember? Does it feel like you're going to die or that you're being ripped in half? Did you have the baby natual without any Lamaze classes? lol Sorry I know this is a lot but I'm in desparate need of some answers ASAP! Thanks so much to everyone who answers some or all =]

I have an appointment on Friday to have my doctor insert a catheter that is supposed to help me dilate and start labor. Has anyone had this done and what should I expect to feel? Is it painful to have the procedure done? How quick did you have results?

Yesterday, Me and my girlfriend went to buy a First-Response kit. She took the test around 3pm and told me it came out negative -to our relief (this happened 5 days AFTER her missed period). To make sure I did further research and found out that the hCG levels, that First-Response makes it's results from, is better in the morning. We plan to test again this coming Thursday in the morning (8 days AFTER her missed period). I read the box and it says it can tell you as early as 5 days BEFORE a missed period. I just wanted to know if taking the test AFTER almost a week of her missed period gives us a higher probablity that the first test was correct. Like, would the hCG levels still be fluxuating so that taking it in the afternoon would give us false results? Also, if there is neither a greater nor lesser chance of her hCG levels having been at fault, how trust worthy is First-response? Ignoring everything I've said, what are the chances that this second test differs from the first one?

I dont know what I am going to do..I am only 18 and I am about 8 weeks pregnant and I just found out that my insurance (CDPHP through Medicaid) wont cover and epidural ..only if the doctor deems it "Medically Necessary" ..which means (and I asked) that they wont just give it to me for pain. I'm not sure where to go from here..Im in school and dont work full time and therefore cant get insurance through my job and my grandmother said that even if i were to get a different insurance that they wont cover a "pre-exisiting condition",and I that I would of had to have insurance for 10 months prior to getting pregnant? My grandmother also is begging me to get an abortion and I think maybe she is saying this on purpose? Please help!

My husband doesn't know how to make a baby so I got pregnant through my lover. My husband and I have never consummated our marriage. Our love isn't like that and he has a very child like mind and doesn't even know about that. Anyway, I would like to stay married to him and I would like my child to be a financial heir to my husband. How can I convince him?

My allergies and/or siuns have been giving me the blues. The doctor prescribed Zyrtec whihc I took prior to being pregnant. BUT the warning label says "The medication should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy". Now I'm considering just delaing with the allergies because that warning freaked me out.

I woke up this morning with a "heavy", kinda crampy feeling in my lower abdomen where my baby bump is forming. I've looked online and see that "round ligaments" begin to stretch around 12-14 weeks...yada yada. Is there any cause for this feeling? Is this normal? I've found info on cramps in the EARLY first trimester, but nothing for the latter part. The cramps aren't really bad, more like a dull ache. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm still paranoid about miscarriage.

How many weeks will I be? Also I started seeing/feeling him kick above my belly button now. Is this normal? Thank you for answering!

I think that my baby is in a tranverse postion, I am 34 weeks and 4 days and I know at this time the baby should be in a head down position. If I tell the doctor about my concern, will they order an ultrasound or palpate my stomach, or will they jus knock it off? and if my baby is transverse this late does that mean a scheduled ultrasound, or what?

So ladies, so, i am not so bloated anymore, and sometimes, I feel as though I'm not prego.

This worries me. My nausea stopped and I am not so bloated like I was in the first tri-mester?

Is this normal. Everything was fine at my last doc appt. and I heard the strong heartbeat.

I was just wondering is it normal once you start getting energy back and feeling better, to worry, and feel kinda like your not pregnant?

She is rediculus and says we shouldnt have anymore kids because the times are so bad, we can't afford it, etc. She hung up on my husband when he called her and told her we were expecting our second child, I can't fathom this conversation with it being our fourth! We couldnt be happier and I hate that shes so rediculous about it. she doesnt even treat my other children like she does my first.

So anyway I need an invintive way to spring this on her. Got any ideas?

Ok so my bf stopped having sex with me when i was 3 months pregnant and we talked about it and he said it just made him uncomfortable because he felt he was hurting the baby and he new certain positions were just a no so he just tried to not think about sex, it was weird it bothered me and kind of annoyed me but what ever i just let time go by. then finally last night we had sex but it was weird. it actually hurt and i didnt enjoy it at all. i have my docs appt tomorrow and i will ask her why it hurt. i wonder if it was because i went 4 months without doing anything or if something else is wrong. has anyone else had this happen?

I plan to breastfeed so I don't want to use any hormonal birth control such as the Pill. I have PCOS so natural planning methods (charting my temps, etc) wouldn't work for someone like me. It actually took injectables and an IUI to conceive this little one, so I don't feel birth control is even needed...but my husband does. We dealt with infertility for years so it feels strange to even be thinking about birth control!

That being said...what are my best options after the baby is born? Thanks!

I lost a baby at 22 weeks and my doctor said that next time I get pregnant he is gonna put a cervical cerlage it basically gets my cervix and is sewn closed so the baby wont come out. I am peraoid anyone had any experiances like that. I am so afraid that I could go into premature labor again.

I just found out I'm pregnant by my boyfriend of 2 years. I'm 24, and I don't know if I'm ready. Am I going to regret this. I feel like I haven't lived my life to the fullest though. I mean I have a pretty good job, my own apartment, nice car. I like to be able to just get up and go. I'm also afraid that this will break up me and my boyfriend, because it does everyone else. This is it, its not about me anymore. I won't be able to go out when I want to. Everybody says my feeling will change once I have the baby. But is that for everybody? I just feel like the rest of my life will be waking up at 4:00 in the morning to get the baby to daycare, get to work at 7:30, pick up the baby fro mthe daycare, and thats it. Somebody be real with me.

Also why did you make the decision you did and is this your first pregnancy (if not how many kids do you have)?

I am 17 weeks 3 days pregnant. I have been doing a few things that are "not reccommended." Has anyone done any of these during pregnancy, and were there any complications with the child? What could potentially happen?

1) Alcohol: On two separate occassions during my second trimester I have had a half glass of fruity wine.

2) Exercise: I workout 30 minutes on the elliptical each night and do approx. 25 minutes of weight lifting (from sitting position to take any pressure off my stomach). Should I bring it down a notch to just walking?

3) At 17 weeks I painted the borders and trimming in my kitchen and bathroom. I opened windows and didn't feel sick at all during the process.
