Hi ladies! I am not expecting but, and interested in what it's like to be pregnant. I am working on college and geting a home a puppy ect. before my husband and I have our kids. Congradts to all you ladies (and expecting fathers online)!

My Question: My friend of 3 told me she had trouble pushing when in labor. Her doc told her she'd know when to push and how. Do you push like you're having to use the bathroom or is it different? Will the doctor (or classes) explain how to push and when? How does that work?

Is it wrong to tell your family you don't want them in the delivery room. I just want it to be me and my husband is that soo wrong? I mean I want them to be there and I want them to come in after the birth but not during.

My doctor wants to test me for gestational diabetes. I show none of the risk factors (I have had normal weight gain, am under 25, no one in my family has ever had it, am not thirsty or urinating a lot, etc) and the doctor admitted that he doesn't believe I have it.
Normally, I would just have the test, I have had every other test they have ordered, but I am hypoglycemic, I would throw up the glucose drink or would pass out before the test could be completed. I already eat like a diabetic (5 to 6 small meals a day, limited carbs per meal, very limited sugar intake) and am more then willing to up my blood glucose testing from 2 or 3 times a day to 4 or 5 times a day if they would like.
They are insisting that I get the test and are telling me I am being selfish for questioning it. Has anyone else with hypoglycemia run into this?
I want to do what is best for my baby, but I have to think about my health too and for a hypoglycemic to do this test just seems like asking for trouble.

I know there are tons of questions on this subj. but the answers are giving me mixed ideas. i took a pregnancy test 10 days after i had sex, just out of being paranoid because me and my husband are not yet ready for kids. it said i wasn't. My period is never regular and i normally always have vaginal discharge...ALWAYS. before my period, after my period...etc. My mother had the same thing. A little over a week ago it stopped (this is why i took the test) then it came back.
Its around my period, i think, but instead of a normal period. it was VERY light pink color. I called my pregnant friend for her opinion, but she thought her spotting was her period so it wasnt much help. ive heard there is a BIG difference between your period and spotting ( spotting doesnt require a liner at all??) I thought i was starting to have a normal period because the flow was more, but its all light brown dicharge...and some light pink watery....stuff...=) help?

Please dont judge me as i know i have been irresponsible and its getting me down.

I am pregnant. I split with my boyfriend in May and slept with a guy on 29thJune 2007, i then has my period 2 days later. I then got back with my boyfriend in July around the middle. As i remember i had a light period, but my periods hace always been unpredictable. I went for a dating scan on the 26th September and they told me i was six weeks pregnant, which would mean i concieved around the 14th August is this correct? I have been for another scan on the 26th October and i was 12.5 weeks pregnant give or take 5 days which would mean i concieved around the end of July/beg of August if thats how you work it out?

Could the dating scans be wrong? im really worrying myself to the point its making me unwell, could this be the guy i slept with in June or my boyfriends? can scans be 3 or 4 weeks out? also am i working out the date i conceieved correctly?

Please help

My fiance' left me last night... he knows that i am pregnant, he was thrilled when we found out. He left because he said that he was tired of the bullshit! But the things he says and does to me makes me so mad! He said that he tried and tried, hes one of those that think they do no wrong (no matter what) But i cant just let him go like this! I want to talk to him! Should i call him or wait for him to call me?

I am now 36 weeks pregnant and I felt my baby shaking or vibrating constantly for about 20 seconds.
It is NOT hiccups because I have experienced fetal hiccups and I have felt this shaking something very different and strange. It is also not the same as baby kicks nor punches because it feels like a seizure, reflex or something. I don’t know.

It was about 5am in the morning and the constant shaking woke me up. I felt it under my belly and I placed my hands deeply to really feel if it is the baby shaking and I can really feel that it's the baby shaking and it did not stop for about 20 seconds.

I talked about it with my doctor and midwife but I don't think they have heard the same thing with other pregnant women.

Has any pregnant women out there or who has experienced being pregnant ever experienced their unborn baby shake or vibrate constantly and for about 20 seconds or more?
If so, did your baby turn out fine?

I would really appreciate answers from any pregnant women.

I am drawing a blank about how much water I am supposed to drink today before I go for my scan... I don't want to mess it up and not have enough, I really want to see the baby today! Havn't done this is a few years, and I don't think my Dr. told me how much to have. Any help would be great! Thanks!

Well i just found out that i am pregnant, 5 weeks and 3 days. My fiance' left me last night. Not due to having a baby he was thrilled when i told him. But he says all i do is B*tch at him... but the things he does to me, like takes my car all day, then when i call him he says "it doesnt matter where im at" Thats my car! Just little things... but damn you dont have to leave me! Anyways i have 2 other children from a previous relationship, Social Services cant find their father so im doin this all on my own. I cant do it again!! What do you all think about abortion? I dont believe in it... but its whats best i think. Do you think he will ever return??? Or even call??

that when you are on the pill, you can skip the last pills that coincide with your period (mine happen to be green), and just start with a new pack once your period is over and still be protected against pregnancy?

Why some pregnant women eat more and they always
say that they eat for two? What is the point of that?

Today she is puking. The profiles were all booked so she could only get in for one on friday this week. The doctor said she would only induce her after her profile. She has been having cramps for a week now. Is there anything she can do to make them induce her earlier or anything she can do to help send her into labor?
