Pregnancy 24 weeks : I've been on the Nuvaring for at least 8 or 9 months now. My last period was around February 24-27thish. My doctor told me that when I take the Nuvaring, I can either put it in on the first and take it out on the 21st of the month, or put it in on the first and take it out on the 28th of the month. In February, I took it until the 21st, and like I mentioned, I got my period around the 24th. In March, I was sick with a kidney infection and was on antibiotic Cipro (pills) for nearly two weeks,

Pregnancy 24 weeks : I'm a 24 yr old woman, married with a 2 yr old son. On March 2, my hubby and I made love (i usually have a very low sex drive because of meds i'm on) and I really wanted to be pregnant. A week later, I started showing signs of pregnancy like breast tenderness, nausea, and later had backaches/stomach cramps, fatigue. Just last night my breast leaked a little after a shower. Yesterday morning I had an annual exam. I got a 6 day period from march 25-30 (usually 7 days). My OB/GYN said women who a

Pregnancy 24 weeks : I'm 24 weeks pregnant, last night when I was getting ready for bed my boy friend made some comments that have left me feeling depressed, fat & ugly. I've been holding back the tears ever since, I'm insecure about my looks any way. I was a fat child but managed to loose loads of weight and was a size 10 by the time I got to 16. Obviously I've been gaining weight due to my pregnancy, and my breasts have gone large and droopy (I KNOW TMI) He looked at me & said bloody hell I won't be able to get

Pregnancy 24 weeks : My blood type is A- (rare blood & prone to have miscarriages). My lung fuctions are 40%. I'm 24 yr old. I'm 5'6 1/2 tall & 100 lbs (more or less). I was born 10 weeks early. Tell me, do you think I would be able to have babies? Would I die giving birth? Would it be too much of a high risk for me to try for pregnancy? I'm curious to know of your options. (I'm not planning to get pregnant for 2 years or more.)

Pregnancy 24 weeks : I'm 24 weeks and I swear in the last two weeks I've turned into the biggest you-know-what. I am impatient, rude, and this pregnancy has honestly made me just not care what anybody else thinks anymore. Please tell me this will get better because I really don't even like myself sometimes! Also, I should probably just apologize in advance for some of the rude answers I have given some of you guys.... So who else has become a mega-b*tch? (But honestly, who didn't know that pre-c*m could get so

Pregnancy 24 weeks : I'm 33 weeks pregnant and my back is starting to hurt 24/7 to the point I can't sleep. A lot of women have told me this is normal. I work full time as a teacher and I am finding it hard to handle working with the kids and this back pain at the same time. I am wondering what remedies worked for you all or if there is anything I can do? Sleeping is also becoming a lot more difficult. Any suggestions would be great. :) One more thing..not sure if this will help..the backache is right in the midd

Pregnancy 24 weeks : spent 3 days in the hospital last week only to find out that my heart function has dropped by another 15%. I was also diagnosed with pregnancy asthma. When I saw my OB last night, he refered me to a high risk OB. The more I see my doctors, the more scared I'm getting. So here's my question, are there any blog websites that would be a good place to vent and also receive support? We are in a new town, and I have only 1 friend here, and my husband is just as overwhelmed and scared as I am and can

Pregnancy 24 weeks : I've heard that Plan B is the equivalent (hormone-wise) of a month of regular birth control pills. If I had unprotected sex last night and I took Plan B tonight, can I get pregnant from unprotected sex in the next 24 hours? 72 hours? week? how long does the protection last for? ps. yes, I know, unprotected sex is stupid. That's why I'm wondering if Plan B provides protection.

This month my period was a week late (normal after stopping the pill??). However, when I received my period it only lasted for 1 day.

Pregnancy 24 weeks : I will be 9 weeks preggo tomorrow. The only real problem that I am having is that when I have to pee real bad, and I lye on my back, my pelvic region hurts more. Then when I empty my bladder it goes away. Also, I think that it is weird that my body wakes me up at the exact same time every morning to use the bathroom, 6am.

Also he smokes weed a lot, so that may have lowered hi
