help please! need your advice!?

Question

Ok, I've been pregnant before and had the same symptoms but last time I didn't find out I was pregnant until a month and half into it when I had a miscarriage. I had tested negitive on home and OB/GYN's urine tests the last time I was pregnant, so I'm kind of skeptical about trusting one again. Last time I didn't skip my period, all that happened was a nausuas feeling and got very very dizzy. same thing now, very dizzy and a nausuas feeling after i eat certin foods. now this time i had my period, but it was 3 or 4 days late and very light and off and on for about 4 days, like extended spotting. idk. what do you guys think? i don't really have time to go to the doctor because i'm in the military for school right now. and the last time i had sex was december 31st and it was unprotected with my

Answer 1

you need to make time to go to the doctors. it's possible for the well being of your child. get them to order a blood test rather than just a urine test! were you given a reason for your last miscarriage. it may be a result of you RH factors!

If you just found out you're pregnant, one of the first - and most important - tests you should expect is a blood-type test. This basic test determines your blood type and Rh factor. Your Rh factor may play a role in your baby's health, so it's important to know this information early in your pregnancy.
What Is the Rh Factor?

People with different blood types have proteins specific to that blood type on the surfaces of their red blood cells. There are four blood types - A, B, AB, and O.

Most people - about 85% - are Rh positive. But if a woman who is Rh negative and a man who is Rh positive conceive a baby, there is the potential for a baby to have a health problem. The baby growing inside the Rh-negative mother may have Rh-positive blood, inherited from the father. Approximately half of the children born to an Rh-negative mother and Rh-positive father will be Rh positive.

Rh incompatibility usually isn't a problem if it's the mother's first pregnancy because, unless there's some sort of abnormality, the fetus's blood does not normally enter the mother's circulatory system during the course of the pregnancy.

Today, when a woman with the potential to develop Rh incompatibility is pregnant, doctors administer a series of two Rh immune-globulin shots during her first pregnancy. The first shot is given around the 28th week of pregnancy and the second within 72 hours after giving birth. Rh immune-globulin acts like a vaccine, preventing the mother's body from producing any potentially dangerous Rh antibodies that can cause serious complications in the newborn or complicate any future pregnancies.

A dose of Rh immune-globulin may also be given if a woman has a miscarriage, an amniocentesis, or any bleeding during pregnancy.

If a doctor determines that a woman has already developed Rh antibodies, then the pregnancy will be closely monitored to make sure that those levels are not too high. In rare cases, if the incompatibility is severe and the baby is in danger, a series of special blood transfusions (called exchange transfusions) can be performed either while the baby is still in the uterus or after delivery.

What Can Happen if Rh Disease Is Not Prevented?

Rh incompatibility rarely causes complications in a first pregnancy and does not affect the health of the mother. But Rh antibodies that develop during subsequent pregnancies can be potentially dangerous to mother and child. Rh disease can result in severe anemia, jaundice, brain damage, and heart failure in a newborn. In extreme cases, it can cause the death of the fetus because too many red blood cells have been depleted.

If you're not sure what your Rh factor is and think you're pregnant, it's important to start regular prenatal care as soon as possible - including blood-type testing. With early detection and treatment of Rh incompatibility, you can focus on more important things - like welcoming a new, healthy baby into your household.

remember your first miscarriage would be considered a first pregnancy!

Answer 2

Yes I think you could very well be pregnant because I had those symtons when I was ,and a nother lady friend had all her periods while expecting with the one, but had no periods with her others. Eat small meals ,saltine crackers helps nausea, and protein carb. at night like apple milk helps morning nausea.

Go to the doctor . The next time you have sex use protection .The best protection I can tell you to use is an aspirin .Just before intercourse put the aspirin between your legs and hold it there.
