Pregnancy - December 2007

i just had my 28 week doct. appt.: the usual, check for heartbeat and such. but the doct. said i wasnt getting anymore ultrasounds, unless i pay out of pocket

sooo...how does the doct. know how big the baby is? and when does he do vaginal checkups? i havent gotten any vaginal checkups; just ultrasouds and that machine that listen to my son's heartbeat.

confused.

1st time mommy

docs always asked if i've been prego before. I know it's important cause they say second time labor should be shorter, faster, you should show faster with second pregnancy etc etc etc)

my question is: i had a stillborn almost 2 years ago born at 21 weeks gestation. so since he wasn't full term, am I still considered to be my second pregnancy? do all those things (second time labor should be shorter, faster, you should show faster with second pregnancy etc etc etc) apply to me as well?

Okay, we have been ttc and today I am 10 dpo. Early this morning *4:00 am* I woke up with a killer stomach ache and I vomited and then fell back asleep. All day long so far I have been constantly naseous and that is the only thing wrong with me, no fever so it doesn't feel like the stomach flu or anything. Could this be from pregnancy or is it too early for morning sickness? When did you first experience morning sickness? my period is due in 4 days, so I will test then, but I was just wondering what you think? Thanks so much for your help.
2 hours ago - 3 days left to answer.

I took an EPT test on Monday morning and it was very positive. I am going to the Dr. tomorrow afternoon at 4:00. Is there a certain time I should stop drinking water or try not to pee so the HCG level will be more concentrated like morning urine? Thanks so much!!

Friday I went to the hospital with painful contractions. I wasn't in labor and was only 50% effaced with no dilation. I have been that way for awhile.
Monday I had a doctors appointment. I went in and was 60% effaced and 1/2 cm dilated. The baby was also in -2 position. They had me go back today (Thursday) to recheck.
Today I am 80% effaced, 1 cm dilated and the baby is in -1 position..
I understand that there is no way to predict when labor is going to happen. My concern is if I have not went into labor by next Thursday they want to induce me. Does anyone have experience in this and what do you think the odds are of this happening for me naturally in a week? I am 38wks 5 days today. Thanks

I gained a horrible amount of 100lbs with my first child, lost only 20 of it before getting pregnant again in which I gained 30 pounds with. I have not taken off all the weight and have now found myself pregnant again, I have found myself obsessed with the amount of weight not to gain, any thoughts?

I was 115 lbs before pregnancy now I'm 31 wks and weight 145 so I've gained 30 lbs. The only part of my body getting bigger is just my tummy, my whole body is still the very same and I'm very happy about it, not complaining :) How much weight is supposed to be gained during pregnancy? good luck to all

I have been lightly spotting for3 days now. I am having no cramping, and moring sickness is stronger then ever. We should be ok right? I go to the Dr next week, trying to hold out till then. I have had miscarages in the past, but it does not feel like that at all. Already had one ultra sound done the next at my next apt.
Could getting sick 20+ times a day cause this? (I had moring sickness for 7 months with my last and don't want to do this again)
Any opintions would be nice.

My brothers fiance is 38 weeks pregnant, due to have their first baby (a boy) on 17th December.

She is 26 years old but incredibly immature, selfish and unpleasant as a person. She has basically alienated my brother from the rest of our family. She makes HUGE demands on my brother. For example she has made them get a houseful of pets which she doesn't take care of - barely pays attention to them, and makes my brother do all of the work. She then decided she wanted a baby (my family suspect as a way of holding on to my brother) and got pregnant right away. I fear they have unrealistic notions about it. They don't have much money and my brother already works all the hours God sends and then has to come home and do ALL of the household chores, shop, make food... care for the pets etc.

I just feel uneasy about the impending arrival of this baby. I am not sure I want my nephew to be born in to something like this. Yet.... there is nothing I can do :(
Any advice?

Ok this might be long but please someone tell me if i could be or not...

I had my period until the 11th. I have been on the Nuva Ring BC for a year and a half. I took it out the week of my period and i stopped on the 11th. My husband and i had intercourse and he ejaculated inside of me. After that i was so excited because i thought YES i can be pregnant. About 5 days later i had a little bloody spotting. And i was ovulating the day after we had sex if this helps. I want to be so bad, and so does my husband!!! So i waited until i was three weeks after that to go to the doc and get a blood test because i had to know if i was. It came back negative. It would be week four right now and my breast are swollen. I dont know if i should take a pregnancy test now or should i wait. Ususally with the Nuva Ring three weeks i dont have my period then one week i do. So i should be on my period now, but im not on BC so i dont know when im going to start. Should i test now? Is it to soon???

I have been feeling bloated lately. When me and my boyfriend have intercourse, it hurts afterwards like cramps in my stomach. I have also been feeling like i'm going to puke at night before going to bed. My breasts have been tender also. I am on birth control, but I missed a couple of days here and there. I won't have a missed period for another 10 days. What is wrong with me?!

My husband and I are expecting our first child, a baby boy, in two months. We currently have medical insurance through Kaiser.

I have been told by various people that circumsion is no longer covered by medical insurance. Instead, it is considered elective surgery.

Has anyone with Kaiser insurance recently had a baby boy? Did you have to pay for his circumsion? If so, how much did it cost?

Thanks for your help!

I was only two days overdue when I went in for my last doc appointment before the induction. The doc that saw me was not my regular doc, she was overseeing a delivery. The doc said that he was checing for dilation, and I know that routine, they did tht every single appointment. But it hurt really bad,and i was trying to move away from the doctor and I asked him what he was doing. I was starting to get scard because dilation checks don't feel like what he was doing. He said that he was trying to strip the membrane to throw me into labor. Now, am I being overly sensitive about this or should he have told me what he was actually doing befor ehe just went ahead and did it. The baby is almost 4 months old now, but this still bothers me. He works at a resients clinic and I have a good relationship with the doctor that oversees the clinic. I was wondering if I should report him or do docs do thid on a regular basis. Bear in mind that I did not ask him to do this.

I looked online and can't find anything.

I have a threatened abortion right now....so I will probably miscarry soon.
They haven't ruled out ectopic yet, I need another exam tomorrow.
But they said it's eccentric/ecentric (dunno how to spell)

What does that mean???
