24 weeks pregnant preparing : My daughter was born premature at 24 weeks. My husband freaked and started to alienate himself from the both of us. He never visited her in the hospital and started to disappear for several days. I finally left him after he got two women pregnant within the span of a month. When I moved out he told me that if I left him he wouldn't be involved in our daughter's life. I told him that that was his choice. That was a year ago and since that time he has made no effort to see her (he was paying for

24 weeks pregnant preparing : I am 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and noticed some light brown spotting, and slight cramping which turned to pinky colour, then back brown again, went for a scan, nothing found on u/s, but found a small black circle on internal. The lady couldnt tell if everything was alright as it was so small, only the size of approx 3 weeks, which doesnt make sense to me, as I am sure of my dates. I had a blood test, and have to have another in 48 hours, so bit worried as to whats going on and i have anothe

24 weeks pregnant preparing : I had a monthly appointment last week and my blood pressure was 140/90. My doctor was concerned and had me test my blood pressure at home with my husband for a few days. At home, I was always around 120/80. I called in my results from work and they asked me to check it then, it was 141/90 and they had me come in immediately. Once I was seen by the nurse it was 164/94. My nurse and doctor freaked out and had ordered me blood work and a 24 hour urine test. We also had an ultrasound. My ul

24 weeks pregnant preparing : I have an 8 year old son, Joe, who will be 9 next month. I am 13 weeks pregnant with my second child. I am 24 about to turn 25. I'm worried about the age gap between them and how they'll get along. Also, in my pre-admission packet from the hospital, it says they have a "sibling class" to prepare older siblings for the birth. The age range is 2-10. The part that really got my attention was that they take the children on a tour of the L&D department. Is this something I really should consider?

24 weeks pregnant preparing : I started bleeding on friday & went 2 the emergency room. They took a blood test & confirmed that I was pregnant. My count was 24. The doctor said that was normal. She told me 2 come back in 2 days. I was still bleeding, nothing 2 fill a pad, but when I wiped, there was blood. When I went back she took my blood again & my count was down to 0. She then told me that 24 wasn't really normal for me being 5 weeks, so she is not sure why it was so low. She said maybe I got a false positive (but 3 t

24 weeks pregnant preparing : I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant with my first. I've been reading, reading, reading on labor and birth. I've been asking questions and watching shows and getting a general idea for what to expect. But I notice that there is little knowledge of what happens in that period AFTER you have the baby but are still in the hospital. What are some things a first-time mother should know for that first day or two while still in the hospital with a new baby? What sort of discomforts are there? What

24 weeks pregnant preparing : I just found out that my nieces sister-inlaw is pregnant. She is only 15 years old & found out 2 days ago that she is 34 weeks along. She is quite a small built girl so I really don't understand how nobody knew, especially her!! I really believe that denial plays a big part in these situations.
