Pregnancy - December 2007

I was going to try when I had our son by they ended up inducing me and those Pitocin contractions were too much so by the time I reached 6 cm I opted for the epidural.
I'm 36 weeks pregnant now with our second baby and I'm considering trying it (assuming they don't induce me) without medication...
I don't know what natural contractions feel like (since they were induced contractions w/ my 1st) so IF I can handle them I might try to go all the way through w/out the epidural.
Ladies, if you've given birth naturally without medication of any kind... HONESTLY... how would you describe the feeling of it when the baby passes through the birth canal? And what advice would you give someone like me considering trying not to use medication?
Thanks a lot....

I'm 30 weeks pregnant. The past few days I feel a tightening sensation in my stomach. It's not painful and it doesn't last long or happen on a regular basis. This is my first baby so I'm not sure if I'm having Braxton Hicks contractions or not. Do they make your stomach feel tight?

I'm 18 weeks pregnant. I know people say it feels like bubbles in you tummy when the baby moves but I have not felt that. For the past 2 days I will get mild cramps (about 2-3 a day) and when I put my hand on it I can feel a bump. Kind of like a potato. It only stays for about 5-10 seconds then it is gone. What is this? Is it the baby?

i asked a question on here yesterday and most people
said do go to the doctor, so i did ....
and they said my cervix is thinning, which is the step
before dialation.... of course...

ive already had preterm labor issues
w/ my pregnancy in the past
and i know if she's born now then she will live...

i was just wondering when i should expect labor
being this far effaced, and having past problems...
and how long any one else went after their cervix
started to thin out....

also- should my doctor have put me on bedrest?
my doctor is rude and i wanted to change,
but no one will take me now...
it doesn't seem like he cares to much...
so should i put myself on bedrest?

and also should i not have sex either?
will it cause problems??


thank you all in advance...

Since week 15 i have felt my baby move. Just the flutters but def the baby. Is it normal at 17 weeks to feel him move one day and then not for a couple. If he moves a lot one day and then i dont feel him again for a few days should I call my doc?

I am 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. Since about week 6 my tatas were really swollen, rock hard and I could feel warmth coming from them. Then, since Saturday, they are back to normal, but still sore. I don't have an appointment until the 18th. All my other symptoms are the same. Is this normal or should I be worried? Also, I am a size 16, 5ft 2in. If you were/are built like me when did you start to show with your first? Thanks!

Theres this guy Ive known for about a year. We both really liked eachother but never actually dated..we did have sex several times & he was the only person I was seeing. We stopped talked due to conlficts of interest..but I found myself fantasizing about being pregnant..with his child! I wanted it so badly! He contacted me recently & asked me..basically if I would hook up with him..normally I would say no..but I saw this as my opportunity to get pregnant. So I bought some condoms & poked several holes in them..I acted aggressive when the 'time came' & teasingly put it on him myself..he never knew. Now I'm pregnant. I dont want his $ or support. I dont even want to tell him. My dreams of having a baby are finally coming true & I dont need help from anyone-as I am financially secure & mature/responsible. I feel guilty a little bit though... and wonder if I should ever tell him. I dont want to..but i feel like i owe it to him. He's go a good guy..and i stupidly ****** him over. So wrong.

Just been to the doctors and have a throat infection, doctor prescribed Amoxicillin antibiotics for 5 days. doc said they are fine during pregnancy. Has anyone had any bad experiences taking antibiotocs during preg?
Would rather not take them but have been told infection will not clear up otherwise.
Any midwifes out there?

Please dont post any horrible remarks like "ask your GP", this is not a medical emerg or anything... i have spoke to GP , just want some more opinions

Thanx

Before your period came or after? I know we get emotional before our periods are supposed to come even if we aren't pregnant but I'm pretty sure they are worse while pregnant or were/are your emotions pretty much the same as pms while pregnant?

I am 28 weeks pregnant and I will be going in for a 3D/4D ultraouns in a few weeks. These type of ultrasounds are elective only and they cost a good amount of money. I am really excited but I have a few questions for anyone that might have had one: Is it worth the cost? Could you really see more than on a regular ultrasound? Does drinking plenty of water prior to going in really help for a clearer image? Thanx to everyone.
