Pregnancy - October 2007

I am around 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 positive home tests and am going to the doctor on Friday. I wanted to start taking prenatal vitamins (had a recent miscarriage) but I am getting mixed answers on whether I should take them yet or not. I was told they can cause a miscarriage if there is too much iron? I live in Canada and bought Life brand prenatal vitamins...has anyone tried these? Should I start taking them or wait for the doctor's ok? Thanks for your help

Where do I go to get my HCG levels checked? Is there something I can do at home? When I first got concerned about whether I might be pregnant or not it was because one night for no reason I was very sick to my stomache, I had been using the bathroom a lot, eating all the time and my boobs were sore to the touch. Now my I get sick to my stomache but slightly and I've yet to have morning sickness and my boobs are still sore but not so much as they were is this normal? Also, I've thought I was pregnant plenty time before (had been ttc) and all the test came up negative with out a doubt when I took the last two recently they came up positive straight away didnt even take 10 seconds how likely is it that its false? Are slight cramps like you get after you eat and go swimming but hardly painful normal? I know these questions may seem silly but this is my first child and the earliest doctors appoint. I could get was Friday...I'm freaking. I want everything to be going right..

Since then my parents have separated, and my dad lives 3000 miles away, because my mum found out he was physically abusing us.

I'm a 14 year old girl.

If you are willing to tell me your levels at week 5, I think that would put my mind at ease a little more!

I don't understand why they do ultrasounds before 8 weeks. I am not sure if anyone else has noticed but there are a lot of questions concerning heart beats and yolk sacs and whether there is a baby or not. I can see if there was a threatened miscarriage, but other than that, why? For instance, my soon to be sister in law is in her 8th week and has had 2 ultrasounds already with no previous miscarriages and no bleeding. I am currently 36 weeks and 5 days and if I ever get pregnant again, they will not do an ultrasound on me until I am at least 8 weeks along, my goodness!

Alright, so a good friend of mine, also my brothers girlfriend is now 2months pregnat. It was unexpected. When she went for her first ultrasound, they said they found two heartbeats. Thats right, this 16 year old girl is having twins! She obviously has no idea what to expect from this. Any advise or suggestions?

okthis is how it works, i usualy am really good with my pills, but aparently not as good as i thought that i was. my boyfriend and i had sex without a condom, i know a bad idea, that's why we stopped about maybe 2 min very max... i'd say maybe a min in. we decided because we didn't have one that we were going to stop. it's a good thing because (it was a wed we think) i found out 3 days later that i had not taking my pills from the thurs ngiht to the saturday morn, which i then took the pills. but were not sure that we had sex on the day that i had taken a pill or not. my boyfriend did not come, and he is not someone who comes quickly. since that night we have not had any intercourse at all. it is now the day i am to get it and i have got nothing, i usually because of my pills get it on this day. i have taken a home test. i think i did it right( ihope i did) it's says not pregnant. should i still be worried? no symptoms, cept an achy lower back. could be anything. please help me!!
thx

So I was supossed to get my period tosay but it never came.. There is a huge possiblity that im pregnant. I took and early test on Monday and it was negative but when i went back like 2 hrs later just to double look, i had a urge to look again for some reason it was positive. I know after 10 min there not accurate but I took one a few days earlyer and it never turned e and still isnt. If im not misstaken it shouldnt turn if the hormone isnt in ur system right? Could i still mean im pregnant even if it was way past the time frame?

Did your doctor ever prescribe anything for your vomiting and nausea while you were pregnant? I just went to the pharmacy to fill my prescription but I'm afraid that this will harm my baby.

I recently had unprotected sex with my fiance (yes dumb) and it was around the time of ovulation. Of course it's too soon to tell if I'm actually pregnant.( If I am pregnant, it would only be a few days..) i'm scheduled to have an Endoscopy in a few days that would require the doctor to give me an injection to make me sleepy ( some type of sedative). If I am pregnant, is this safe? Maybe I'm being paranoid, because I might not even be pregnant, but I just don't want to risk it. any thoughts?

Being on the plus makes it more potential for you to have a C-Section is that always the case?

im in a 3 yr relationship, i just found out last week I am pregnant (11 weeks) he wants me to get an abortion, I am against it only would consider it if I was raped. He told me last night that: "its not fair to the child to bring him/her into the world with only 1 parent... he is askin that i dont take the trust & loyalty away from us and him (i havent lied once, i've only been 100% honest)... he feels like the woman he loves is trampling over him && squashing him like a bug... that I have ALL the power & that I am going to crush him... && that he would never hurt me like this." Now I told him I am being responsible for my actions in having unprotected sex and getting pregnant, and I am going to raise this baby to let him/her have the best life they possibly can. He told me I was being selfish & that we are not ready for a baby. I am 23 & he is 26. I am in school, my last year of college. But things happen. basically I made my decision already I just need advice from stangers!! Thanks!
