Hi everyone! I have been suffering from terrible reflux/indigestion for the past 20 weeks or so (i am 35 weeks along). I have tried everything 'tums', 'rennies', 'mylanta', 'gaviscon', and 'zantac' my ob perscibed me...nothing has given me relief! I also avoid everything you are advised to not eat. Even milk and water doesnt relieve my symptoms and alot of the time eating/drinking nothing makes the symptoms worse! Well all, I read in the forum to try eating ALMONDS and CHEWING GUM (mint flavoured) and I am finding great relief, especially from the almonds...Give them a go! I hope this helps someone! :)

ok Im new here an desprately need advise, Im 8 weeks 5 days pg, the problem is stupid me had a one night stand, and before anyone judges I have a partner of 9 years we have 4 children, I am absolutely certain that the one im currently pregnant with is from the one night stand my partner knows about the whole thing i told him straight away, he also knows there is a big possibility that this baby is not his, but he told me hed stand by my side, so the big problem is I dont know whether or not to tell, the fella i had the one night stand that im pregnant or just wait it out til the baby is born and get a DNA test done- I did think about all my options abortion adoption and keeping the baby but i just cant abort and adoption i just dont think i could do, so i decided to keep the baby advice would help

Good Morning Mommies to be. I went for my first ultrasound yesterday. It was amazing!! The baby jumped around for a few minutes while they were taking measurements, and then when my fiance was allowed int eh room, the baby decided to cross it`s legs and have a nap, and refused to move!! The tech put my pregnancy between 11w 5d and 12w 4d. Since this is my first pregnancy, I`m not sure what the numbers all mean and if they are good. I have done some research online, but it`s hard to get a direct answer.....so I`m asking all of you experinced women out there. The crown-rump length was 50.4mm (I understand that measurement), the Biparietal Dameter was 17.5mm and the Nauchal Translucency was 1.1mm. Are these good numbers?? Thanks for your help and knowledge!!

McNair, thats around the time the fetal heartbeat can be detected. Until then only the fetal pole and sac can be seen. It's nerve wrecking to wait but makes a lot of sense, being that many drs only scan again @ 20 weeks. They often just rely on doppler to listen for heart @ 10 weeks or better.

soontobe... In the pregnancy dictionary, CRAVING: something you have to have and nothing or no one will stop you from getting it. Usually a repetitous desire to eat a particular food. SN: occassionally, we crave the smell of certain things too ;) congrarts!

So far its been kinda easy, was getting nauseous, got some headaches, now just get gassy, havnt pinpointed the food causes. No real cravings, I dunno.?? What is a craving? Im hungry alot - but not really for anything specific.

mcnair08....grrrrr it sucks so bad. I have to wait till i am 8 weeks too while i see other women at 6 weeks who have already had one or two ultrasounds. Drs. like to wait till 8 weeks because some doctors feel that you cant clearly see the baby through ultrasound until then. Its stupid i know. cuz i have seen a baby in ultrasound at 6 weeks. I have one more week until i hit my 8 week and i can finally see my little baby

Amber-def listen to your dr! Stay on bedrest. My friend had a baby around 32-33 weeks and he was in the NICU for 6-7 weeks. You DEF dont want to go through that...33 weeks is to early. Dont do anything to progress...take it easy and wait until you are at least 36-37 weeks!

ambermiracle, You need to listen to your doctor!! 33 weeks is too early. yes there are children who live at 33 weeks when they are born but premies are very prone to bad things i think its like RH or something like that. also usually their lungs are not developed and they have to go on a ventalater. alot of hospitals wont even let you take your baby home until your due date. Do you really want to wait 7 weeks to take your baby home?? That would be terrible. I know pregnancy is hard especially towards the end. you are anxious to see your little baby and to feel normal again but for your babies sake hang in there. Itll all be worth it in the end. the longer they are in, the better and healthier they are.

Kinda anxious, way bigger than I think I should be at just 8 weeks, with my previous pregnancies I didn't show until much much later, and my symptoms were not as bad, I think I may have twins, can't wait until my doctors appointment so I can relax and prepare for my Feb. due date.

Hi Jimmyswifey, i am 1o weeks preg, the exact same thing happen to me. i ddidnt feel pregnant or have any symptoms and i got worried, so i went to the doc and asked for an ultrasound to put my mind at ease. the doc was very accommodating and i had an ultrasound an saw that all was well and then only did i feel relieved, if you feel worried or stressed see your doc maybehe/she can help you and give you an ultrasound. All the best!!

Question, my husband and I are trying to conceive after a miscarriage March 15th. Last month two days before I started to bleed, I saw one spot of pink blood, then nothing. The next day I saw brownish discharge. The next day I started to bleed which lasted for two days, but didnt have bad cramps. When I saw the pink spot, I started to cramp badly for 10 hours. This exact situation happened when I first found out I was pregnant, without the horrid pain. Did any of you do this and found out you were pregnant?

Hahaha i cant believe i fell for this!!! So they say if you put a needle on a string and put it above your palm if it swings back and forth you are having a boy and if it swings in a circle its a girl. well duh. this is fake but i tried it. so it swung back and forth right, then all the sudden it started swinging in a circle. unless i am having twins and one is a boy and one is a girl I CALL BS!!!

This may be a silly question.. but both my bf and I were premature babies.. would that have any effect on my child, and when my child is born?
