34 weeks pregnancy : I am 36 weeks pregnant with my second child. With my first child I had preclampsia and she was born at 34 weeks so I never experienced a "normal" pregnancy. With this child all seems normal and well. My question is I am now going to the doctor once a week and wondering at what point will the doctor do an internal exam? I also felt today for the first time as though my baby is moving down. She has been in my ribs forever and now she feels as though she is moving down. Does this mean she c

34 weeks pregnancy : During my first pregnancy, I lost my plug at 37 weeks, 3 days. I'm currently 34 weeks, 4 days and still waiting to see if I will lose my plug. I'm asking because I already have all the signs that labor is coming, but no plug (and I know that is a tell-tale sign) Thank you for putting up with another anxious mommy!

34 weeks pregnancy : Saturday I woke up vomiting, and it didn't stop until late Monday night. Tuesday I was fine but I went to the doctor anyway and they said all is okay and couldn't give me a reason why I couldn't keep anything down. Today (Wednesday) I woke up with diarreah and then vomited a lot. Has anyone experienced this so late in pregnancy?

34 weeks pregnancy : I have read a lot of answers to this related topic, but I just wanted to find more answers.. Me and my girlfriend have been stressed out for the last 3-4 days. We usually have intercourse about once a week with protection. It is about day 36 since she last had her period and she says she usually gets it every 30-34 days. She also mentioned that it comes late once in a while. So her period is exactly 5 days late and were stressed out about it. There are little signs like tiny vomitting o

34 weeks pregnancy : This is my second pregnancy, and I'm only 34 weeks. My first, my daughter, was 8lbs. 11oz., and when I went to my last doctor's appointment, they told me that this baby is probably going to be much larger, and I'm already measuring 35 weeks (that was at 33). Since babies don't usually do much development after 36 weeks (aside from some lung maturity and gaining a pound a week) the doctors have said they'll do an ultrasound and see how big she is, and if she's pretty large, they may induce me.

34 weeks pregnancy : I am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. My first child was born at 34 weeks as I had preclampsia and the pregnancy was nothing like this. With this pregnancy I have put on 30 pounds so far, and absolutely cannot breath (sinus infection for 4 weeks now and the doctor says I can't take anything for it because I am on medication for high blood pressure). How do people do this? I am in so much discomfort, am literally getting maybe two hours of sleep a night and then having to go to work

34 weeks pregnancy : (YES, I am going to call my practitioner in the morning!) Just wondering though... Just found out my 5 1/2 year old nephew has viral meningitis. Have not been in direct contact with him in at least a week, however I was in close contact with his 4-yr-old sister just this past Saturday afternoon (I read the incubation period is 3-7 days) and went out to dinner with his parents on Saturday night. So, there possibly is a slight, slim chance that I've been exposed to meningitis? And if so what

34 weeks pregnancy : Im 34 weeks pregnant and i have a sinus infection, i just want to know if this is comman in pregnancy or in my case could it be because my pap test came out abnormal??? i dont know but im thinking is this comman in pregancy but at the same time im wondering how come i still have this problem for almost 2 months now could it be something more serious??? bascily i want to know if there are other pregnant women who had the same problem as long as i did.

34 weeks pregnancy : I was wondering if anyone ever had very high cholesterol during pregnancy. I am 24 yrs old and my recent blood test shows i got high cholesterol and i am 34 weeks pregnant but I am very average looking not big at all. My bp n gestational is normal. Now my cardiologist says usually during pregnancy blood levels rise n he would wait and do another blood test after delivery. my question is did anyone of you here had high cholesterol and were pregnant n if so how was it? any problems during labor

34 weeks pregnancy : My husband and I were in a baby store over the weekend buying our travel system. A woman walks by, stops, and stares at me and then asks, "Wow. Are you two on the way to the hospital after this?" I'm only 34 weeks! I'm 5'2", weighed 107 pre-pregnancy and have gained 30 lbs. I thought I was a slender pregnant woman but now I feel that I look as big as a house. This woman had a toddler with her, so I'm assuming she has also been pregnant at some point. What would you have said to this wom

I have a 7, 4, and a 16 month old (all girls) and am due in December..I am scared I dont feel overly excited yet..I dont know what I am having..I had very bad postpartum after my last daughter and I am getting weepy again already..My doc said she would induce me at 38 weeks due to the fact I am having period like cramps and so much pain like contractions

34 weeks pregnancy : I delivered my first at 36 weeks and my second at 34 weeks. See a pattern here? Wasn't induced, just went into labor. Now my third is due in February and I wonder if he'll come early also, and how early? Has this happened to anyone else? What are my chances of going early or full term?

34 weeks pregnancy : I am 34 weeks and yesterday I spent 4 hours at the hospital being monitored for contractions. I was having them the entire time I was there, but they sent me home, because I hadn't dilated in those 4 hours (I'm 3 cm). I am so uncomfortable, but I understand why they sent me home. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how long it went on. Side notes: I know every women and pregnancy is different, but just wanted to hear about others experiences. I went to the hospital be

34 weeks pregnancy : Our son is 5 months old and loves his daddy so much. He lights up when daddy is around and usually needs to be held and kissed by him for a couple minutes before he'll go to bed. Daddy can't hold a job. 34 years old and still loses his job every 30-60 days. We've been together going on 3 years and he's never held down a job. He got fired again yesterday after less than a month at his job. He was unemployed for most of my pregnancy and finally got a really good job a month before our son was du

34 weeks pregnancy : I'm 34 weeks into my pregnancy and over the last 24 hours I have emptied my bowels 8 or more times. I have cramps in my tummy with a little braxton hixx which is not too uncomfortable unlike the discomfort in my pelvic bone which I'm finding it hard to move around because of and especially now her head is engaged. This is my second child but I didnt have this discomfort with my first as he was breech up until labour begun.Does anybody know if the symptoms might be early signs of labour and if

34 weeks pregnancy : I'm not sure who all reads these questions, but I'm in Canada (if that makes any difference) and I have a midwife... I've already had one baby and am 34 weeks pregnant with #2, can I request to be induced (for when the baby's full term, obviously)?? Is the fear of another big baby, 19 hour labor, forceps, and TERRIBLE recovery time (literally, I was bed-ridden sore for 1 full month) a good enough reason to be "allowed" to be induced?? I mean, this pregnancy hasn't been the best either, I've be

34 weeks pregnancy : I'm 34 weeks pregnant with my third baby and i'm getting a lot of shooting pains really low down. I can actually feel the baby's head hitting against my cervix and it really hurts! Anyone else in late pregnancy getting these pains?

34 weeks pregnancy : I ussually get my period on day 32-33 of the cycle, some months it show up on day 34 or 35 but that's it. the only exception is that 3 months ago I skip a month, I mind my period didn't come at all, but I blame to the pills to loose weight I was taking (stupid me) I stop taking those and my period return so could a blood pregnancy test be 100% accurate at this point? the delay could be another consequence of the loosing weight pills?

34 weeks pregnancy : I loved my pregnancy so much, never got morning sickness etc, but now i feel like i want 2 vomit, and I feel extremly heavy!!!! I really dont have the energy 2 even get up anymore! Im 34 weeks, and never been this restless, im freaking out now! Hate 2 feel this way!

34 weeks pregnancy : *Following is question from my co-worker. I adviced her to stay and just show him more love. She want additional opinion.* I am in a desperate situation when it comes to married life. I really need advise on my situation to make something out of my life. I have been married for almost 5 yrs now. My hubby and me had a lot of issues from a couple of months into the wedding itself. We are very different personalities..I consider myself outgoing and friendly. He is very introverted and reserved.

34 weeks pregnancy : im 34 weeks pregnant and feel pains like period pain. i also feel pain in pelvis area is it normal in pregnancy

34 weeks pregnancy : It felt like something was stuck in my vagina (like a tampon) so I used a (clean) finger to reach inside a little bit, and felt my cervix. My finger was not even in as far as my second knuckle. Does this mean anything? I have been having mild cramping, but no contractions and this is my second pregnancy. Just wanted to add, I don't normally do "self" exams, I just really felt like something was in there.
