Pregnancy - October 2007

Ok so i just talked with my doctor about my ultrasound that i had on Monday which dated my pregnancy at 17weeks 4 days, so i was curious if that date includes the 2 weeks or so that you aren't actually pregnant(the time before conception) and he said it doesn't. Why i am confused is because the doc is basically saying i got pregnant just before my period, which i might add was a completely normal period(june13th/07), on time and full of fair sized clots. Also because i am on seizure meds i had to take HPT everyday that way i would know when to stop the seizure meds and i never got my positive until July9th/07. Would it really take that long for a positive to show up? Is my doctor wrong? He said ultrasounds at 17 weeks 4 days are very accurate to the day, is this also true?

Is anyone planning or considering a UC? (means unassisted childbirth- no hospital, no docs, no midwives)

I am 35 week pregnant with my second child and I went to the doctor today and she said I was having a contraction, but I could not feel it. She said as long as it is not painful but it could be helping dialate your cervix then that is great. Are these real contractions even though I can not feel them or braxton hicks? She was asking me a couple of questions when she made this comment and I didn't even think to ask her while I was in there.

Is it possible to take a pregnancy test now, or do I have to wait for so many days?

I am thinking about using the IUC Mirena for birth control this time around, since my husband and I do not want another baby for at least 2 years, and we got pregnant on the pill last year. Has anyone had good or bad experiences with it? I would love to know!

well today i went to visit my mother. my little one didn't move in awhile,so i got nervous, and started playing with my belly a little to see if i could get him going. my mother seen this,and told me "you better hope you don't do that at the wrong time and mess up his development" and she continued to go on and on and made it seem like i could deform my baby.
so i just took a shower and laid on the sofa to watch some t.v, about a half hour after i poked my belly, he started moving and he can make my belly jump,and my mother was like well i hope your happy,
and has made me feel like i hurt him.

does this really hurt the baby? i wasn't doing it hard at all..
but if she is right about this i would like to know.

I am pg with my second child and for some reason I am really nervous about my ultrasound tomorrow. I am not overly worried there is anything wrong with the baby, and that is a blessing. I am more worried about finding out the sex of the baby. The thing is, I don't want to wait to find out the sex either. My husband and I are pretty sure we only want to have 2 children and this means this is the last. I feel like when I find out it's a boy or a girl that will mean I won't have the opposite one. Is this being silly? What is wrong with me?

My husband just left for Austin very early this morning and won't be back until Friday, and even possibly next week. I was 2 days late on my period, which I'm never late, I'm always on time and usually a day or two early. So I had an extra pregnancy test laying around so I took it and it's positive. Now my question is should I wait for him to come home so I can tell him in person, or should I call him tonight?? I want to know what the men would prefer, to hear it in person or to hear it right away? I think I already know the answer but I'd like to see some answers from the men. thanks so much!

Anyone else ever gone to the Pregnancy Support Center and had problems with patient confidentiallity ? Or with a NURSE sharing information from an ultrasound that should really be discussed with by a MD? Just curious. Also if anyone has experience with them telling you something about your pregnancy that was totally false? Like a negative pregnancy test and you were pregnant or no baby in your uterus and there really was one ........................................

i was told that while pregnant... and as the baby is growing inside of you, you can get big and round like almost over night. heres the story that i was told, " i was about 5 months pregnant, and i have just gained a few pounds, i went to sleep one night. and i woak up the next moring and i had a big bump." the doctor told her that the baby just has turned which caused her tummy to get bigger and rounder... does this happen to everyone? and if not has it happened to you?

(it happened to her and happened to her daughter when she was prego.)

just curious

I have been pregnant 4 times and have 3 healthy babies. My husband had a vasectomy at age 25 in November of 2005.

For the last couple months I haven't been feeling good. I'm always tired, feel naseaus, not hungry. I had my period this month but still fell this way. I feel like I did when I was pregnant. Also my pants are getting tighter even though I eat a fraction of what I was eating before I started feeling this way.

Has anyone been pregnant while still having their period?? Any personal experiences would be great. Please help!

im 32 weeks pregnant and i dont feel my baby kick. I feel him moving and riggling all the time but i never feel him kick. Everyone always asks if the can put their hand on my belly to see if they can feel him kick but he never does. I know he is well because he has a strong heartbeat and is on the move all the time,jiggling my belly about making it move from side to side. My friend is also 32 weeks and she gets big kicks all the time so why dont i? He used to kick me in the early stages but doesnt anymore,he just wriggles about. Does ayone have any ideas? or has anyone else has the same thing as me?

I normally have a normal 28 day cycle for my period and it usualyl lasts 4 to 5 days. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 2 months, but so far nothing has happend. When i started my period on my usual day this month i thought it was just another let down, but it only lasted 2 days. (from the 12th to the 14th) then i started again midday on the 15th and ended that night. and yet again i started again midday on the 16th or so i thought but it was just a little release and it stopped within that hour. All of these times were really light bleeding. I've heard you can be pregnant and still have your period but i took a pregnacy test and it was negative? A friend told me that when having a period during pregnancy it could mean i release the pregnacy hormone with the period, which would leave nothign for the pregnacy test to catch. Any answers? Do i still have hope?
