Well, we just found out a couple of weeks ago that my aunt is pregnant yet again. She already has 2 kids, and doesn't take care of either one of them. She's already 40 years old.

Almost 40 weeks pregnant : This is my third pregnancy and I am ready for this baby to come out. But I know he isn't ready yet. But anywyas. My doctor told me he was a big baby. My youngest right now was 3 weeks early and almost 9 pounds. So Im worried this baby will be bigger.... I haved been nesting for the past 2 weeks, having contractions but they never add up to anything. Do you think I will have this baby before my 40 week mark? And also what are ways to help safely induce labor naturally when the time comes?

Almost 40 weeks pregnant : I am 15 weeks pregnant and this morning I woke up with a headache and when it finally went away I felt nauseas like I wanted to throw up ( I never threw up during this pregnancy so far). So I thought I had to go to the bathroom and my stools were loose almost like diarrhea but I don't think it was diarrhea. I had sharp pain in my stomache (like in the middle going down) it felt kinda like I swallowed something sharp like a tortilla chip and it lasted prolly 40 minutes and i also had a second s

Almost 40 weeks pregnant : I'm almost 40, and don't want to be pregnant!!!!!!!!!!! (I'v already lost 4 pregnancies and do NOT want to go through it all again!) I'm on the pill and take it daily at the same time. I'm now 2 days late on my period.

Almost 40 weeks pregnant : I know that fetal movement is a good sign, but every day for the last 5 days or so my baby has been having bouts of intense activity. In fact, she is most definitely moving more now than throughout the entire pregnancy, even though the movements are supposed to slow down at this time. It seems funny worrying because I'm so used to doing kick counts to make sure she's moving enough, now it's so much that it's almost annoying! I am 1cm dilated/80%effaced/engaged. I do, in fact, mean INCREAS

Almost 40 weeks pregnant : I'm almost 40 weeks pregnant and as the big day approaches I get more nervous.. i've had such a good pregnancy with no complacations and i'm just scared that there is going to be something wrong with my baby.

Almost 40 weeks pregnant : I'm almost 42 weeks pregnant! I have an appointment to be induced on wednesday and I really don't want that - I want to go into labour naturally. However, when I saw my midwife at 40 weeks, she said the head was engaged 3/5. My mum keeps saying that my baby is 'too high' and that it hasn't 'dropped' yet and so it doesn't look as if I will go into labour soon. Is this true? I really hoped I would and I have been doing so much walking already today to try and get my baby to 'drop', and now my fe
