- Open Question: Losing mucos plug at 34 weeks?
(Tue, 18 Sep 2007 00:04:52 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I am 34 weeks pregnant and I think I may be losing my mucos plug a little at a time. Should I be concerned that I am losing it this early? It is only a little at a time, but it is more than any pregnancy discharge I have had so far. It is not bloody, which I hear means you are closer to labor than with just the mucos. Has anyone lost their mucos plug this early and made it a few more weeks before going into labor?

- Open Question: Do I need to tell my daughter the truth about her dad when she gets older?My now fiance and I had only been?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 23:05:15 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : dating for a few months(we had been friends for many years)when I found out I was pregnant. Well, this is how it went. We had unprotected sex twice about 2 weeks apart and a few days after the 2nd time I started feeling really sick and went to the doctors. I explained my symptoms and he had me do a pregnancy test but it came out negetive. He told me to come back in a month since I hadn't missed a period yet(it was due in a few days)and take another test because he thought i was pregnant. I got my period when it was due but it was alot shorter and a lot lighter than normal, so I stuck with the theory that I probably was pregnant but just needed to wait another month to miss a period. A few weeks later I was raped by someone and about a week or two after that I took another test because I had missed my period and it came out positive.I figured I was already pregnant by the time I was raped and was sure the baby was my fiance's but paternity test says no.(I want another one but 2 much $) (She looks like my fiance and his family, not the guy who raped me) We plan to get married and have him adopt her. She knows him as "dad"...If everything continues as planned, do I still need to tell her the truth when she gets older or will it be wrong for me to hide it?
- Open Question: Is vinegar bad during pregnancy?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:26:44 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I am 6 weeks pregnant and for the last week anytime I tried to eat fruits/veggies that were in vinegar, I seam to want to throw up. It smells extremley bad and tastes worse. I've never noticed the vinegar before and have ate the foods plenty of times. (Unless Wawa just started adding vinegar to their fruits) I dont know. Im freaking out.
- Open Question: 34 weeks pregnant and having some health issues I am worried about (kinda graphic, sorry). Help?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:10:48 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : First of all, I have already left word for my Doctor to call me back, not like she would be any help (she never is). So please do not ask me to ask doctor. Ok, so I am 34 weeks pregnant and had bronchitis that turned into pneumonia (because my Doctor would not listen to me, of course. Looking for new one). I am now taking Amoxicillin and have been for about 5 days. I am starting to feel better but I have had severe cramps, diarrhea and my BM smells like medicine, is kind of tar looking (like a baby's first BM) and it hurts so bad when I go to the bathroom. I have been cramping a lot and it is hard for me to walk. Could this be the meds or something else? I also taste plastic when I burp, and have been more gassy lately than in pregnancy. Ok, I found this http://www.drugs.com/amoxicillin.html about the same time my doctor finally called me back. This medication is highly known to do all this. She just lowered my dosage and said to drink water. Thanks everyone. (Some of you had me scared! Teaches me to ask such a serious question on a message board! lol)
- Open Question: What are the chances of pregnancy?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:05:03 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : My girlfriend got off the pill about 6-7 weeks ago. After getting off the pill she got her period the exact day she'd been getting them when she was on the pill. Now it's been about 5-6 weeks since then and we have been having sex regularly, sometimes we use a condom sometimes we don't. I have not ever finished inside of her though. If we've had sex multiple times I've urinated in between each time except for, maybe, once. She is considering herself two weeks late because she didn't get her period like she did the last 3 months. Is it likely that she could be pregnant? Or is her body getting used to the fact that she is no longer on the pill? (She was on it for almost 2 years) By the way, she feels and has felt completely normal. No cravings, no soreness, cramps or any other signs. Before she got on the pill though, her period was irregular.
- Open Question: Ladies, any experience with this? I don't know whether to be worried, or if I'm paranoid.?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:01:23 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I started dating a guy about 2 months ago, and we became sexually active pretty quickly. For the last few weeks, it has started really hurting when he puts it in. It's ok after a minute, but at first it really hurts. We've used condoms, but they've slipped a couple of times. I'm not worried about pregnancy (on the pill), but I'm really paranoid about STD's. We've talked about it, and we've both been checked, but I guess my paranoia is that the sensitivity is from some kind of STD. I had a "girl checkup" a couple of weeks ago, and my doctor didn't find anything unusual. He is really...um...big - could it just be because of that? I guess my question is whether anyone out there has had any sort of experience like this, and what your advice would be. Thank you:-)
- Open Question: I need to know.......?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:59:08 GMT)

- Open Question: False Positive on Pregnancy Test?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:20:14 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I may be in denial but I have taken 3 tests, 2 different brands and all three came back positive. I am going this week for my actual doctor test for confirmation. I am cramping a bit and I am wondering if this is normal? They feel like period cramps? How likely would it be to get 3 false positive tests?
- Open Question: Is it too early to detect pregnancy?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 21:04:29 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : 15 days ago me and my bf were making out I had no underwear on and he was sticking out of his boxers He at most touched my stomach since im shorter than him. Then he may have touched me with his penis a little bit with my underwear on.he didnt ejaculate at all.there was no rubbing of his penis. At that time I was a week late for my period. 8 days later (still no period) I had stomach cramps that are still here.I went to the doctor ten days after the incident and my doctor showed in my xray that I had gas in my left side of the stomach and told me i needed to take mylanta.I didnt tell him about this incident. He also took my blood and urine and mentioned i wasnt pregnant. 4 days ago i got my period and have stomach pain still, mylanta didnt seem like it worked. Today I still have a tightness in my stomach not really to the left anymore. I took a pregnancy test(100 mIu) & it came out negative.I read you have to take it so many days after dpo. Is it too early to detect by the doc and test My nipples seem to be getting bigger but maybe im just stressing about it too much and making myself think these things are happening. Also I'm hoping im not mistaking my period for something else
- Open Question: Can you still have a normal period, even if you're pregnant. Like, the very first few weeks when egg attaches?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:50:29 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : Like, within the first 1-3 weeks of pregnancy have a period, and not know you're pregnant? Say after having intercourse unprotected, and tryin to become pregnant, and still start a period. Because im right on time for my monthly period now, and just start tryin, about 2 weeks ago? But i was on depo for 3 yrs, and have been off of it for 1 yr now? Am i able to become pregnant now, and if so start my normal period this month? It's very light, and non clotted.
- Open Question: Boy or Girl?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:40:02 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : This is my first pregnancy, & I know that it is probably wayyyy too soon to tell, but I figured I'd give it a shot. This was a picture from my scan for Downs in my 13th week [I'm 15 weeks now], & I thought it was very interesting...could any of you ladies tell me what you think the baby might be? Maybe from comparing it to your own sonogram pictures around the same time frame? Again, I'm aware it is most likely way too early to tell in the photo, but I'd love to see if any of you have any guesses anyway! http://i13.tinypic.com/4m1cy1l.png
- Open Question: Question please answer?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:26:59 GMT)

- Open Question: when can you do a bood test for pregnancy?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:57:36 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : Has any of you been to the doctor and tell them that you want to do a bood test for pregnancy, and they tell you that you have to wait 2 weeks after you miss you period....?! My period is not due for another few days or so, but i have been feeling nasous for the last week. all the doctor told me to wait to see if i miss my period. i am a bit concerned why i'm feeling this way, cuz its really strange, never felt like this before. do all the doctors want to wait 2 week after you miss a period and then do the bood test? or just my dr. is a dummy...
- Open Question: 14 weeks pregnant. is this normal?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:31:42 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : i feel "fullness" in my uterus. i've been feeling like this since like 7 weeks or so. i mean, i know my woumb is full with a baby and all, but I acctually feel it. no movement yet, but just "fullness" is it normal? do u feel like that? is that how pregnancy is supposed to feel like?
- Open Question: HcG Levels at 4 weeks - Twins?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:30:01 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : At 11 dpo, hcg count was 100. Four days later at 15 dpo (around 4 weeks), hcg count was 900. So, hcg more than doubled every 24 hrs here. I understand average for it to double is every 31-48+ hrs. During last pregnancy, hcg count was at 225 at 4 weeks which is about average and what we were expecting to see this time around. At close to 900, could this mean twins (mother side has multiple twins)? Would be happy either day but keeping fingers crossed.
- Open Question: I'm pregnant with twins, but having a huge problem?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:29:04 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I'm 12 weeks pregnant and today an ultrasound confirmed my doctors suspicion that I'm having twins. The problem is I haven't gained any weight, I've actually lost weight. I'm 5' 7", and started out at 118lbs. I am now 114lbs and getting concerned. My morning sickness is so bad it's actually kept me from keeping food down for days, even liquid. Plus my doctor said pregnancy can sometimes speed up your metabolism. He prescribed for me an anti-nausea medication that is working okay. But what can I do to help increase my weight gain. Should I drink slim fast with meals for the extra calories. I'm extremely uncomfortable being pregnant with twins and underweight. It's too cool being pregnant with twins, but it's hard to celebrate when I'm so worried about everything. My doctor said at this point he's not too worried. But I am. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Slim Fast makes you gain weight when eaten with meals. That's an extra 290 calories and 6 grams of fat with a meal. Not to mention all the vitamins.
- Open Question: I think I'm pregnant. Help plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:19:19 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I was supposed to have my period 2 weeks ago, I need to pee like 15 times a day, my breasts are tender, I even took a home pregnancy test and I was positive for a pregnancy. My bf always wears a condom when we have sex and he pulls his penis out of me before he cums, but I still feel like it didn't make anything better. Am I pregnant? Oh crap, I don't want my parents to find out, I'm only 15. I'm a high school freshman and already I am pregnant. I guess my 7th grade health teacher was right, choose abstinance. How will I be able to pay for the trip to the doctor without my parents finding out, I only have about $50 because I don't get allowance anymore and my parents won't let me work at Publix until next year when I have my own car. In case some of you didn't read everything, MY BF DOES USE A CONDOM! Thanks for the advice anyways, I'll never have ANY sex again, including masturbation, until I am married with my parents' permission. Are abortions really effective? My bf and I had sex a little less than a month ago. I'm afraid if it is too late. I guess I'll have to tell my parents to take me to the doctor to see if I'm pregnant. It will also be hard to convince my bf that I can't have sex with him anymore. Tomorrow in school, I'll talk to him and tell him to avoid any sexual activity with me; I'm just afraid that he'll break up with me and I love him so much. If my parents would let me, I'd marry him. God help me! That includes all of you in Yahoo! Answers as well, keep answering and it might make things feel better for me. I never realized that home pregnancy tests are really that accurate, especially the $1 ones, I thought that they weren't always accurate because they're much cheaper. I need to just go through this and put it behind me. Maybe I can give the baby to an infertile woman who would pay me for my baby.
- Open Question: light brown spotting ..only when I wipe?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:10:13 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : my regular period was 3 weeks ago and this has been going on for about a week. it hasnt changed at all since it started..there isnt enough blood for a pad or tampon. I am not on bc pills. I just get this brown, old blood, looking stuff after I wipe from using the restroom. There is a chance of pregnancy since I am sexually active with my fiance, we usually use condoms but I did use the pull out method a few times...I know not a good form of BC!! A baby would be okay..we'd just speed up our wedding date..But is it too soon to tell since it really isnt time for my next period?
- Open Question: first time pregnant, my hands and wrist hurt is this normal? 2 questions?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:08:12 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : This is my first pregnancy, i noticed my hands and wrist hurting a few days ago, but i am only 5 weeks pregnant. It is not an intense pain but bad enough for me to talk about it. Is this normal?? also i was reading on a website if your urine is dull(clear) it means your having a girl, and if urine is bright it means your having a boy.... is that true?
- Open Question: Weird eating habit...what do you think?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:06:52 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : At times I feel ravenous but when I sit down to eat, I never finish my plate. I feel like I could eat a whole chicken and maybe I will eat one chicken wing and feel full. But then in about 2 hours, I feel really hungry again. I grazea ll day because of this though I dont think I am taking in too many calories. I am 12 1/2 weeks and havent gained anything yet. I am overweight so doc told me that I dont have to gain much at all during the pregnancy. I take my prenatals faithfully. What do you think? Is this normal eating behavior?
- Open Question: Question about preterm labor?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 19:06:00 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I am 33 weeks pregnant and keep reading about the increase in heavy (thick) white or milky discharge as pregnancy progresses. But, mine seems to be thin, watery, and clear. I don't ever really remember it being thick beforehand and changing. Also, for the past 2 days, I have been experiencing back pain, but it's completely different than what I've been having. I've been used to the "regular" pregnancy back pain - mid and lower back. But, this back pain is more of a dull ache and is extremely low - like to the left and right sides of my tailbone, and fades in and out... it's not constant. I have a doctor's appointment at 3:45 today, so I will ask her about this then but I was curious as to if anyone thinks I should be worried?
- Open Question: Inducing Labor?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:45:26 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I have had a really tough pregnancy... And IM two in about 2 and half weeks..... I was just wondering if thers where any old mid wife tips that anyone knows of that may help make my baby come a little sooner. I know they say the longer they stay in the womb the better. But it has gotten to the point where I cant even move around. I sometimes need my husband to help me sit and get up in from the bathroom seat. I know 2 weeks isnt that far away but I dont know if I can make it any longer
- Open Question: Pregnancy blood test wrong?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:42:26 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I'm a week and 2 days late, took 2 HPT and a blood test and theyre both negative, i didn't have any pms symptoms the weeks before im supposed to start, which is really odd (im never late, usually early if anything...) the past 4 days ive been cramping, very irratable, moody, breast are getting sore...sounds like pms to me but to just be getting these symptoms this late and still no period? Could it just be a funky month or possibly inaccurate test results and now these are preg symptoms?? Has this happend to anyone before?

- Open Question: after miscarriage need anwsers please!!!?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:29:55 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : HI the doctor said i had a full natural miscarriage... does this mean once the bleeding stops all of the tissue is gone and no longer in me? also i went in today to take a pregnancy test after the misscarriage was last week and the pregnancy test was negative... does this mean my HCG is back to normal?? thanks in advance for all you help!!! to dez... i know i misscarried and the baby is gone but i can not try to have another until my hcg is normal and the doctor made me take a pregnancy test and did not do blood work... i did not choose to do that on my own!!!
- Open Question: Miscarriage 5 weeks ago, no aunt flow since, is this normal or am I pregnant again?...?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:23:32 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I stopped bleeding from my miscarriage, after only 3 days (length of miscarriage) - it went pretty quick. I had spotting pinkish/brownish on the 1st and some on the second, but only when wiped, and not enough to even touch a panty liner. So my miscarriage was almost 5 weeks ago (hormone levels followed back down to 0) and aside from that short spotting session a few weeks ago, I have had nothing. Just recently (the past week 1/2 or so) I have had period like cramping and somewhat sore breasts, tired a little more than usual, and ocassionally nauseated - so I know for sure I lost my pregnancy 5 weeks ago, and I know for sure my levels were 0 a week after miscarrying. Husband and I have been sexually active since 1 week after miscarriage - quite frequently (every day or every other day)....pregnancy test was negative on the early morning (2am) of the 14th - would have been 14dpo...should it have shown positive by then if I am pregnant? Do I sound pregnant again?...
- Open Question: I need answers! Could I still be pregnant?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:13:04 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I had a period around August 18th or 19th, I ovulated around the 31st or the 1st of September. Around a week later I noticed some brownish discharge, but didn't think much of it. I did notice many pregnancy symptoms, I had nausea, fatigue, frequent urination, gain in appetite, sore breasts, backaches and some abdominal cramps on both sides. On the 13th of September I noticed some bleeding that began brownish then pinkish. The next day I got a supposing period. Not like the my normal ones though, had some heavy bleeding (when mine is usually light) then suddenly very light bleeding, and brown again. This bleeding lasted for 2 1/2 days. My breasts are now way more tender, and sore than they have ever been! I'm have a backache, mild abdominal pains on both sides and bad nausea! (haven't thrown up yet though...almost). Could I still be pregnant and have a period? I've heard of Decidual bleeding, could that have happened to me? I'm so confused! Any help would be great! oh and i took a pregnancy test on the 13th and it was negative. oh and i took a pregnancy test on the 13th and it was negative.

(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:04:39 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I found out a week ago that I'm pregnant. I took two hpt's and went to my regular doctor for a blood test. When I called the ob/gyn, they said they don't need to see me until I'm 10 weeks. Is this what they normally do? I feel like that's a long time with no direction or anything. I made an appointment for a consultation tomorrow, but they don't seem to think it's a big deal if I come in or not. I know they deal with this every day but it's definatily a big deal to me! When was your first doctor appointment after the usual blood test to confirm the pregnancy?
- Open Question: Pegnant idk??
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:04:00 GMT)

- Open Question: changing doctors during pregnancy?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:59:59 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : Has anyone switched their OB/Gyn while in their 6th month of pregnancy or later? Because I am 26 weeks pregnant to be exact and I have changed health plans. My current OB/GYN doesnt accept my new health insurance neither does the hospital where she delivers at. So I want to go to an OB that will accept my new insurance. Has anyone had similar experience? Im afraid no doctor will accept me since im already 6 months.
- Open Question: I have a question about my period, I am nineteen and have had this problem since I was sixteen?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:57:59 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I will go without my period for months, then it hits and lasts for sometimes two or three months. It generally is really heavy. I will go through a heavy overnight pad in less than a hour. The last time it happened I went to the OBGYN and got on b. control. I had been bleeding for about a month and a half when i went to her. When I started the B-control it got alot worse. One morning I flooded when I got up. I had a few really large clots and a load of pink water come out of me. It spilled out everywhere. That was two days after I started the B-control, so i stopped. I ate alot of cherry products and rubbed progesterone cream on alot. A week and a half later I stopped bleeding. That was back in June, and its now almost October. I still havent had a period. I am scared, not sure whats going on I am sexually active, we always use protection. I have taken pregnancy test and it was negative. Whats going on?! I want to get on some form of B-control, but am scared to start it again!!! Oh and we were both virgins, this problem started WAY before I became sexually active. So I KNOW there is no possibility of stds!!
- Open Question: 2 Questions Please Answer?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:52:24 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : Here is a little information: Cycle: 27 days long Last Period:September 2 -7 2007 Baby Dance: September 10-15, 2007 Spotted: September 13, 2007 Ovulated: September 14, 2007 TTC since June 2007 1. Lately, I been feeling like this aching, bloating feeling where my ovaries are. My stomach has started to take a rounder shape. I am not the only person noticing it, my fiancee is too. Also, I keep getting like little pain sensations off and on. They come and go but sometimes they are like crampy pains especially if I sit a certain way. Do anyone know what this could be? Cysts? Pregnant? 2. I had a weird dream last night that I was 27 weeks pregnant. And I went into early labor. I touched the baby foot and then pushed it back in. I told the nurse that I couldn't have the baby because he was breached. So they monitored me and the baby and stopped the labor. This is not the first pregnancy dream I had. I had like two last week. Is this just my subconscious or what? Edited: 1. Lately, I been feeling like this aching, bloating feeling where my ovaries are. My stomach has started to take a rounder shape.

- Open Question: Floaters during pregnancy?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 16:10:31 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I'm 32 weeks into my second pregnancy... I had the beginnings of preeclampsia with my first so I had to be induced which resulted in C-section... I remember seeing those little squiggly lines that you mostly see when you look at the sky in my first, but not too much. I'm seeing them a lot, and out of the blue in this pregnancy... Is this OK, or is this a symptom of high blood pressure. (Accompanied by nausea and shortness of breath, but that's normal for me any time I'm pregnant)
- Open Question: 34 weeks along and fealing sick... please read it all...?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 15:52:13 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I'm 34ish weeks along. I didn't know I was pregnant till I was at least 6 months along because I was just getting off the depo provera shot and hadn't had a period in about 3 years. I also didn't have any of the signs of pregnancy...nothing, till my son kicked me in the kidney! Now I'm feeling like I'm gunna be sick, like I want to vomit, and I think I'm having Braxton Hix contractions, bad, tight, kinda painful feelings that go away after about 20 seconds. I can't make out a pattern however. My mucus plug hasn't come out and I'm not leaking. However sense I didn't know I was pregnant, I didn't get an ultrasound till I was 26 weeks, and I cant say when my last period was because I didn't have one. Because of this the doctor says that my due date (October 30) could be off by like 2 weeks! Add to it that I'm going off of a 40 week calender and anything over 37 weeks is full term I'm freaking myself out, But this is kinda painful.... should I go to the hospital? Is it just false labor? I'm also getting this pushing feeling between my legs, like his head is engaging, it hasn't till now... Ive gone pee like 10 times in the last hour or so, and last time I got sick and puked when I got up to go to the bathroom (I'm laying in bed with my laptop trying to rest) I called my doctor but she isn't in the office for another hour, the nurse said that I should relax and she would have my doc call me... I still can't make out a pattern, but the tightening feeling is starting to hurt worse...
- Resolved Question: Should I ask for an "elective" c-section?or deliver vaginally?
(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 15:51:12 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : I will be 37 weeks preggo tommorrow...I am carrying twins who are both head down.My whole pregnancy I have hoped and wished for them to be head down so that I can deliver vaginally.But i sometimes suffer from "panic attacks" yesterday i thought my water broke and we went into the hospital they put me on an IV because they said I was dehydrated...about 2 hours into my hospital visit I started freaking out I was soooooooooo hot I was sweating I couldnt stay still,I felt if i didnt eat something right away i would just die and i wanted to rip the IV out of my arm,it took me hours to actually calm down to normal(this didnt happen until i was at home in my bed and had taken a shower) so I got to thinking HOURS OF LABOR IN THE HOSPITAL??!!? can I handle that? what if I have more panic attacks? Anyways my doc had asked me if I wanted to schedule an elective c-section a few weeks ago and now i'm thinking I do want to to avoid all the "stress" of labor and delivery...What do u all think?

Pregnancy week by week : I'm 13 weeks pregnant and something very weird is happening. Instead of being constipated, I'm moving my bowels sometimes twice to three times a day. Could this be an indication of something? Has anyone ever not been constipated during pregnancy?

(Mon, 17 Sep 2007 15:37:56 GMT)
Pregnancy week by week : thanks to those who had nicely answered all my questions i've asked on here about pregnancy n going into preterm labor. Unfornately after going into preterm labor at 33 n 34 weeks and the dr have to stopped it, i went into preterm labor at 35 weeks again and this time they didn't stop it because they did everything they can to stop my contractions n nothing seem to work.
