Has anyone had high blood pressure through out the pregnancy that was NOT pre-eclampsia related? What did your doctors do/say to you? I ask because my BP has been a little high (mid 130s-140/80s) through out most of my second and third trimester (I am now 34w4d), and I even got my blood tested for pre-eclampsia once around 25 weeks (which came ( Read more... )

Went to the doc today, and when she checked me, she found that I'm 1cm dialated. I've been having lots of slightly painful BH contractions last 2 days along with some 'leakage'. I've been really stessed last few days due to my husband leaving me and wanting a divorce. He's since changed his mind and wants to come back. Could the stress have caused ( Read more... )

I just..I feel like I have ( Read more... )

I am wondering if it’s just normal from stresses, hormones and having a toddler on top of being pregnant or whether I should be concerned. I am feeling guilty about getting pregnant so quickly after my daughter (there will be 19 months between ( Read more... )

So, today my car caught on fire. I drove to my mother's to help her set up a yard sale, and noticed my hood smoking. I looked under it and found flames. It was a pretty scary ordeal, but we got it put out and my mom let me borrow her car to get home. I was high on adrenaline for what seemed like forever, and I'm still (hours later) pretty shaken up ( Read more... )

Okay so I posted about a week ago I think, about my boyfriend and I's sexual behavior. Again, I had said I am not on birth control, we do not use protection, and he doesn't pull out. (that may be TMI), but I figured you've heard worse...now, it was told to me that it would be recommended that we start being more careful unless were trying for a ( Read more... )
