Pregnancy 37 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 37 weeks : Ok, so Im 37 weeks pregnant now and I woke up last night with this HORRIBLE itch, mostly on my feet and palms of my hands. Now it is an allover itch. I went to the doctor and he told me it might be Cholestasis of Pregnancy. I know this increases my chance of having a stillborn and I am terrified. I go for bloodwork tomorrow night to test for it. Im wondering, has anyone had this condition while pregnant and had a healthy baby? thanks in advance.

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Knowing each pregnancy is different.... is there a commonality amoung first time mothers and how far along they made it in the pregnancy? 37 weeks? Full term? I'm so curious and excited for that day!!

Pregnancy 37 weeks : So I'm 37 weeks pregnant..and it's been a pretty hard pregnancy. Well to begin with ..me and my husband are still pretty young.....and I've missed hanging out with my girl friends ever since I've been pregnant. Going to places like bars...clubs...and regular hangout spots. My husbands pretty much been here with me through it all....but tonight he went out with his friends to a bar. I didn't mind him going or whatever at first...but now that he's gone...I feel pretty shi*ty. Am I just being o

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I am 37 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby.. I was induced with my first two due to their size and my lack of progressing into labor... At my appointment last week (36 weeks) my doctor and I were both suprised that I was 3 cm dilated, baby was still high up and I was NOT effaced. I've been having contractions here and there.. today at my appointment I was 4 cm, baby had dropped and I was 50 % effaced.. which seems like alot of progress to me. Also my blood pressure was high, which is very abnorm

Pregnancy 37 weeks : It would not be ideal to give birth at 36 weeks or even 37. The longer the baby stays inside the better even though full term is 38 weeks. Why is sex allowed then, is it a myth that it brings on labor? ban is just a strict word.. substitute warned against intercourse

Pregnancy 37 weeks :

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I will be 37 weeks with my twin girls tomorrow, (will be induced on friday, YAY!!!). But for the last 2 or 3 days I swear it has seemed like I couldn't get enough to drink...

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I'll be 37 weeks pregnant in a few days. On friday I woke up and went to the bathroom and a chunk came out of that I thought was the mucus plug but it wasn't clear. It was a red/brownish color, and then when I would wipe it would be mucus with a little bit of blood in it. Shortly after that I started experiencing diarrhea, cramping in my stomach and pain in my back. I went to the hospital to get it checked out & the dr. said my cervics were ripening and I was dilated 1cm. He never told me what

Pregnancy 37 weeks : ive read similar questions and it seems that everyone reccomends eating high fiber foods and fruits and veggies to make bowel movements easier...so that you dont strain and develop hemorrhoids. but my problem is im 37 weeks pregnant and having quite a bit of diarreah, and seem to have developed hemorrhoids. (not sure cause ive never had them before) so im not sure what to do because i dont really have a problem with constipation, but it does burn a lot when i go to the bathroom, and when i si

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Hi, Im 37 weeks and i have already lost my plug. Im pretty sure that I have leaked fluids in the past and now. TMI but anytime my cervix is messed with during sex or and exam I leak some kind of fluid. She has an irregular heartbeat that has to be monitored. Last saturday I had some bleeding and really bad contractions but with no dialation so they gave me a shot to stop everything. Ive had alot of stomach pains that bring me to tears, and my pubic bones hurt too bad to even move sometimes. Im

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Ok. Background info... I will be 37 weeks with my twin girls on Tuesday. I have felt completely miserable exept for a few days for like the last 2 months. I have been "convinced" i was either in labor or it was minutes from starting at least twice. If I don't go into labor and have them, I will be induced on Friday. It's my 3rd pregnancy, but everything that can be has been different than my other two.... Anyways, #1. How much of a chance is there that I will go into labor before I am induced

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Just your regular exam to see if you're dilated/effaced.. (im 2cm and 37 weeks) BUT.. Yesterday afterwards there was a lot of red blood mixed with dark colored blood too (which I know means old blood) Today.. theres a LOT of brown blood coming out with quite a lot of discharge (I'm sorry to be disgusting, but pregnancy isn't always that beautiful) I'm just wondering if its still normal to be bleeding (even if it looks to be old blood) More than 24 hours after...

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Since about week 20 of my pregnancy I've had contraxtions after sex but since 37 weeks i haven't felt a thing, not even cramping. Does this mean that having sex to induce labor wont work?

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Lately I've been feeling like I'm being punished with my pregnancy. I know that sounds weird, and I'm probably just really hormonal but I'm having a tough time. I'm 37.7 weeks pregnant and just found out that my baby is breeched. Now I am going to have a c-section if he doesn't turn. Before all of this I was diagnosed with PUPPS-which has been the most irritating thing! If you don't know what it is, its a harmless condition that looks like a rash or chicken pox all over your body. It is

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I'm currently 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It is 4am and I keep getting the same pain I did when I had Braxton Hicks, but this time they are accompanied with nausea. Is this normal for pregnancy or am I starting to go into labor? Thanks for who posted so far! I have a regular check up today, so do you think I should sit and wait to see if the pain becomes more intense? Maybe it's just Braxton Hicks again...

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Well I'm 37 weeks pregnant and when I just went to the restroom I found a little bit of red blood on the paper. Then when I went to flush I saw that the water was red.

I'll post back and let you know what they said and again thanks.

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I am 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Last night at about 3:30 I went to the bathroom because you know how it is when you are this far along, you have to pee all the time. Anyway, in my underwear there were 2 bright red spots of blood stained. They werent huge and they werent small either. Just two medium sized drops. When I wiped, there was no more blood at all. And I wasnt hurting or anything. I tried to rest all day just to see if anything else would happen and there was nothing. What gives?

Pregnancy 37 weeks : How far along until you are in the "clear" of your baby being born early and not having to be put in an incubator or anything? I've heard anything between 37-40 weeks... Is this accurate? Is 37 weeks the earliest you could go into labor and still be able to take baby home right away in a healthy state? When do babies lungs finish developing in utero?

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I am 37 weeks and found out today that I am 3cm dilated. I also found out that my cervix is 80% softened. What does it mean for your cervix to be 80% softened? Does it have to be 100% softened to have a baby?

I took a home pregnancy test (a cheap one) It took a while for it to show negative but in the pregnancy window there would be 2 lines for positive it had a pink ring and 1 line.

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I am 37 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I know first babies usually come late, but I am so miserable, I went to the Dr. last week and my cervix was high, hard and closed. The full moon is coming up on Friday (the 21st) and I was just wondering what is the likelihood that the Full Moon really does encourage labor if you are already late in pregnancy??? From what research I have done it seems that there COULD be some truth to it, it's something about the barometric pressure causing your wa

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Last night I kept waking up with really horrible period like pains, they got quite intense at some points. This morning, they have eased but I have really sore pressure on my pelvic bone. Is it a sign things are moving or is it normal for this stage of pregnancy?

Pregnancy 37 weeks : Today I had an ultrasound to check on my baby's growth because I've been measuring 2-3 weeks bigger on every ultrasound throughout my pregnancy(even at 10 weeks). I know measurements are just an estimation but they said he is about 7 and a half pounds at this point(I'll be 37 weeks on Thursday). I was looking at "average" growth charts and it says he shouldn't be this weight until around 39 weeks. My question is, have any of you ladies been in this situation? And if so, what happened and what

Pregnancy 37 weeks : I haven't had a period since October. I started chemo in December and before I could take my second round of it in January I found out I was pregnant.
