Pregnancy - December 2007

After your first initial visit to the obgyn when pregnant, how often are your visits during the first trimester and thereafter?? Please be specific if you can, I'm a first time mother.

O.k.
I am 40 weeks 2 days, I was at a 2 on Thurs. My doc
stripped my cervix, and said I should go into labor in 24 hours
So , when that didn't happen I drank castor oil.
Contractions started and lasted about 3 hours, 15 minutes apart. They were some what strong. Then they stopped.
I tried castor oil again, I woke up at 4 am from VERY strong contractions but, they were all over the place, 1 minute apart then 5 then 2 etc. This lasted for about 2 hours and then nothing again.
I had been losing my plug slowly for about 2 weeks, but yesterday I lost a large amount two different times, it was about the size of a 50 cent piece and had blood streaks.
My questions are, has anyone else had this happen and when did labor start ? any suggestion on getting it started ? and has anyone ever heard of castor oil causing harm to a baby (like making him mess in the sack ?)
The Daddy won't have sex(he thinks he is going to hurt the baby)
3rd baby,induced with the other two early.
Thanks

I've heard there is medication you can take in early pregnancy that makes you have a miscarrige. Does anyone know more about this? Please. I'm desperate. I heard its the alternative to surgical abortion. Please help.

ok a friend of mine is 9 weeks pregnant and she has had the worst case of pregnancy symptoms worse then the other 2 pregnancies she has had before and she went to the hospital because of a horrible headache and the dr felt her stomach and he could feel the top of her fundus (womb,cervix what ever you want to call it) already which is medically impossible untill your over 12 weeks.
she has very heavy periods so i don't think she is farther along then she is plus the emotions started about a week after conception so can anyone tell me what it felt like to carry twins????
she is going to go for an ultrasound to see but in the mean time i would like to tell her something

i was 4 cm. on thursday- its now saturday and i dont know whats going on- he said i should "go" within 48 hours but i dont feel any different accept my baby has not been moving the same as before, I have had some bad contractions - but before- i couldnt even feel them. I could see that i was having one but it felt no different. now they are bad enough to feel but irregular- how long does it usually take to dialate the rest of the way and how will i know without a doubt i am in labor?

I've just been thinking about babies, not planing, yet. I'm with someone that I really like and I want to get married before kids, but the sex is great! Only in the middle of sex I think about forcing him to *** in me, and don't care about the consequences. Is that bad? I don't think that he wants kids right now, but he's doing all the right things to get me pregnant, all I have to do is just stop taking my pills. Is that wrong?

ok did you guys first have your water break... first lose the mucous plug, or first start having contractions? im almost 38 weeks and i haven't lost any plugs, no water breaking, and no real contractions ...

and how many of you could really tell when baby drops?? i never had really bad heartburn or problems breathing so i don't know how to tell... and i def cant tell physically... any experiences would be extremely helpful thank you

I am 39 weeks pregnant. The office that I go to is very big on medical inductions at 40 weeks. When I asked why they said that it is easier to deliver a baby that is not overdue. So if I have not her by Thursday they want to induce me. I am not really against it but I would rather come up with another way then medically. My midwife suggested Castor Oil. I was wondering if anyone had any success stories with this or if it is even worth trying. I know it can be messy....

Early next week im having to take Methotrexate to help terminate my unknown pregnancy. This havent been good for a few weeks and i'm being told i could be in a life threatening situation if we dont act fast.
With this drug, there are many side effects that come with it, as with most drugs.
Me myself prefer on a daily basis to take the more natural approach to ailments etc and use either Reiki healing or homeopathical remedes and essential oils.
As it happens the thought of using the essential oils that pregnancy women are to stay well clear of in my bath today crossed my mind.
Miscarriage can be brought on if certain oils are used. I did this in all good intention and would like this to be resolved in a more natural way. I hope you can see where im coming from in this. Obviously i will take the Methotrexate if i need to, but prehaps with the help of the oils, it may be pushed along this way. I leave it in the hands of them upstairs. They know whats to happen.x

im 4weeks and 3 days pregnant now and yesterday i went for an ultrasound and they could'nt see even a sac!
they also took my hcg levels which came in at 1025 and progesterone level at 68.
i have to be retested in a couple of days for hcg rising and doubling, but what i want to know is if its normal not to see anything other than a thickened endometrial lining.
the nurse said that everything looks ok and you dont see anything till hcg gets 2000 and above! but i'm not convinced
can anyone tell me if this has happened to them and had a succsessfull pregnancy?
