16 wks And always afraid! [horrible dreams] [something heavy]

I am 16 weeks PG and worrying all the time about everything I do. Im having terrible dreams about a miscarriage, I always fear that the baby is dead in me. Every time I fight with my b / f or a pair of jeans that are too tight or lift something heavy, I feel like Im slain. Does anyone else feel this way or do you think I am feeling about the truth? Please, any input would help – Ive stopped telling people that I am pregnant because Im afraid that it is no longer alive. Oh, even if the baby is de

How to make the baby turn around? [all fours] [midwife]

I am now five days overdue and the baby is still at a -3 station. It was there five weeks ago and has not fallen further. It is also the wrong way round – with her back to my back instead of facing my back. The midwife thinks that if the baby turns around the right way to fully engage in and that could help start labor. She told me that I need to spend time rocking on hands and feet to help run. Does anyone have any other suggestions of things I can try to get to run? Not only would I like to st

Is it possible to weight gain in the first 4 weeks? [bloating]

I seem to be 3.5 weeks along, but my stomach is really stabbing out. Not sure if the bloating or what, but wow. I had always read that you do not really get to the 3rd month .

feeling fat instead of pregnant [two pounds] [clothes]

Im only ten weeks, and Im not even that many. In fact the last month I lost two pounds. but my pants keep fit less and less and my clothes get too tight. The fact is, no matter how much I tell myself that Im pregnant, I can not help feeling fat. It makes me depressed and makes me want my belly w / my arms or a jacket when I sit down to cover. I do not look pregnant, not far. but I am starting to feel gross about my figure. someone in this way? or should I change my attitude (how?)

im helping a worrier thoughts again [worrier] [pet lover]

I hope someone out there can understand and give me some advice. Here is whats bugging me . I am a huge fan pet (I have three cats and three dogs are so precious to me) Im worried to death that my baby (not due until May:) (call me neurotic I know) Im afraid the baby will be allergic to the animals. I just do not know what I would do. Does anyone have any advice they can give me? I am most likely to worry about anything?

What is the consensus about vitamin K? [concensus] [vitamin k]

Hi everyone .

Ive are told I need to informed consent for the hospital to provide vitamin K administered to my baby after birth. Apparently vitamin K reduces the risk of internal bleeding (and subsequent death). It can be administered by injection through the healing of the foot (ouch!) Or multiple oral administrations.

When I asked my midwife about how the injection is painful, her response was “oh, the baby . not to feel.” I challenged her by asking whether the baby was

questions about going into labor [lower abdomen] [horror stories]

6 weeks. Before I continue, I was wondering what does labor really feel like. Ive heard so many horror stories. Is it really the feeling that menustral cramps, only one million times worse? or it feels like someone stabbing you? Im starting to get really nervous about the further I get. and when I know that it is time to go to the hospital? Even a week ago I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen that was a way after a few minutes. It was a bit hard to describe how it felt. I felt the pressure when the

I feel like I got hit by a truck . [lack of energy] [gag]

Im almost 7 weeks pregnant and exhausted since Week 3. I feel so tired and now pregnancy cough-gag is starting again. (You know, when you cough and then you start to feel sick and you gag .) Anyway, Im so happy that she is pregnant, but Im struggling with the lack of energy, shortness of anger and inability to open a refrigerator without knowing if my stomach can handle it. I guess I just wanted to express, and others who find themselves in the same way. I know that MS is a sign of a strong preg

34 weeks and back pain [back pain] [ache]

Im 34 weeks and have great pain in my lower right side. Its no pain (if it can be a sign labor), but feels more like a pulled muscle. It hurts walking, dressing, etc. Has anyone experienced this? Would it be a pulled muscle or something in common / in connection with pregnancy. I got it over one week and despite rest, it is not better.
