20 weeks pregnancy : At 14 weeks pregnant, I spent the weekend at my in-laws'. Turns out their cat slept on my bed next to my pillow during the daytime. We also discovered that the cat had a "runny butt", and possibly had it while sleeping near my pillow. He is an indoor cat that goes outside during the days. We don't know if he hunts or carries of the parasite. My blood was tested for toxo at 5 weeks pregnant and was negative, so I am not immune. 1) I know there is an incubation stage before infection, so when s

20 weeks pregnancy : This is my first pregnancy. I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant. I know that with your first, it is normal to not feel the baby until around 20 weeks. My question is though - I felt the baby around 15 1/2 to 16 weeks for a few days in a row - it was a light, fluttery feeling. I seemed to feel it everyday in the morning when I was eating. For the past week, however, I have not felt it. Is this normal? To think that you feel it, and then not feel it again? I am not experiencing any spotting or pain or an

I dropped 20 mgs in my first trimester without a problem and I want to get as low as possible. I am terrified my baby will be born hooked on this narcotic.

20 weeks pregnancy : I am just curious, will they do another full exam or just the u/s and messurments. Also I have an ivillage pregnancy calendar and it says that I will be 20 wks on Dec. 18 which is my appt., but I also have a pregnancy calendar at (i think) baby center and it says that I will be only 19 weeks. Why is this. Both say that they start counting from the first day of your last period so why is the dates different? My estimated due date is May 12, 2008.

20 weeks pregnancy : This is my second pregnancy. With my first, they first told me I was miscarriing, then that the baby had dilated kidneys and after he was born they said he would be delayed and had heart murmur. He is perfectly healthy, so I was stressing out for nothing for many month. In this pregnancy, they found a cyst on my baby's brain and again, kidney dilatation. One is a marker for Edwards syndrom and the other one for Down syndrom. Once again, I am scared to death and wish I have never had that ultra

20 weeks pregnancy : I am on my third pregnancy and lately I have some bruised feeling on one leg in the back just below my butt. Is that because I have put on weight and its effecting my muscle? It isn't all the time, just when I wake up in the morning and sometimes I notice it when I stand too much or sit too much. It's nothing to worry about is it? Anyone else have this? I am 20 weeks pregnant right now and I have felt it gradually for the last three weeks or so.

20 weeks pregnancy : I'm currently 21 weeks 3 days pregnant with my fourth child. I can walk or stand for only about 10-20 minutes per day, after that I get the worst pains in my legs and pelvic area. Could this be vericose vein pain, or something else I haven't thought of? Anything you know that I can do about it would be great, especially at this time of year, I can't get any Christmas shopping done because I'm so exhausted and in such pain after such a short time.

20 weeks pregnancy : I took a pregnancy test 3 days ago...well actually I took 20 (no joke) and they all came up positive. I calculated my due date and I am about 3 weeks 6 days along. Which means I found out at 3 weeks 3 days. I concieved 10-11 days before I found out. I havent had sex any other time. Is that common for women to find out this early? My boyfriend (the father) is a fraternal twin and my aunt had twins (my cousin is a twin). what are the chances that I am carrying twins? Im already feeling the sympt

20 weeks pregnancy : Sorry, this isn't a question, but I just had to share my great news with everyone that has been so helpful to me throughout my pregnancy. I was having rectal pains 13 days ago, and just thought I was constapated. Well I started to have light pink dischage. My pains were coming every 10 mins, but I just thought I was BHs. My parents finally made me go to the hospital that afternoon. I didn't want to go because I just knew they were going to send me home telling me the pain was from me being c

20 weeks pregnancy : Me and my partner have sex everyday...literally. Sometimes once, twice up to three times a day. We have been doing this for a good month almost two now. I just ended my period about a week ago. I haven't taken a test or anything yet because I really want to make sure I have the symptoms of being pregnant instead of letting paranoia take over. I do want a baby, but I heard that couples that have unprotected sex only have 20-25% chances. If I keep going like this...how long do you think it will

20 weeks pregnancy : I have never had a pap done before, (please don't stress that I should have already gotten one done, I know this) I am 20 years old, and married. My husband and I want to start having children. We were hoping to start at the end of November early December of this year (aka right away). I was wondering, because depending on my period and the best times to conceive we only have certain weeks we can do that without having to wait till January. I scheduled an appointment to get a pap done around t

20 weeks pregnancy : What do you think this is? Should I be alarmed? P.S. I'm 20, have lived with my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years (so I'm sexually active), haven't particularly been under any stress lately, and haven't really had any changes in my diet. I just don't want it to be breast cancer =). My next period is due the first week of December. I know the common answer is pregnancy, but the lump worries me. I don't want it to be breast cancer or something serious. I don't have health insurance so seeing a ob/gyn

20 weeks pregnancy : I had an ultrasound when i was in my 9 week of pregnancy. The ultrasound technician could not find the baby so she had to to a transvaginal ultrasound. She also said that i have a tilted uterus and that's why we were not able to view the baby through the normal ultrasound. But the doctor was able to hear a heartbeat at 13 weeks with a dopplar device. So i am confused if the technician was right. Any thoughts on this? Also i have an ultrasound at 20 weeks, i am wondering if it's going to be tra

20 weeks pregnancy : I just wanted to say that I've made it halfway through my pregnancy and I've been feeling the baby move like crazy this weekend. I'm just so excited and wanted to share it!!!

20 weeks pregnancy : Okay, my boyfriend and I didn't have sex, but we came close. You can get pregnant without having sex, but I'm not sure if I am. This is gonna sound stupid, but I don't have money right now to pay for a good pregnancy test, so I'm gonna ask you people what you think. Okay, we came close to sex about three weeks ago. (He ejaculated twice that night.) My cycle usually comes about every 20 days. This time, it came at 29 days, and it only lasted for one day. It wasn't heavy or anything, so I'm kind

My first I had no morning sickness and I miscarried at 8 weeks, I was 20 at the time. My second I had horrible morning sickness and carried my son to term.
