contractions

Avatar f tn I'm 9w today and I've had all day morning sickness, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, burping, restless leg syndrome,exhaustion and really bad aggression since 4w. I am seriously miserable and can't leave the house for more than an hour. Is it bad to say that I hate this sickness because I do? I love my baby and feel really bad for saying that but I feel like I just want to sleep this part out already. I can't handle another second of the nausea.
Avatar f tn I too am a ftm and in the info my Dr got me for my third trimester, I understood early contractions are any contractions before 37 weeks AND when the contraction frequency is four or more in an hr.
Avatar n tn The first trimester was the worst for me because I was always throwing up :( hang in there it'll be over before ya know it :) second trimester should be easier.
8793709 tn?1409594060 there are no restrictions in the first trimester, the embryo is very well protected. just be aware that your cervix is extra sensitive. so long as you are monogamous and clear of infections, you do not need a condom - you are already pregnant ;) but you might need lube as vaginal dryness is common during pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I am only 24 weeks 6 days so i am not sure myself, i have been curious of this for a while now.
Avatar f tn Yeah, it's pretty awful. I'm single too, so it's not like I can go without an income for three months. Luckily I never take days off so I have like 6 weeks of sick days accumulated, and then since I teach, I'm off during the summer when the baby is born, or I'd be in serious trouble. Still not happy about it, just upset that it works like that.

Avatar n tn Hi all, So, here's the scoop. Last week, I had a lot of brown spotting after sex. When I went to the bathroom and wiped, there was pink/red blood. The next day, it all disappeared. We have not had sex since then but I know we probably will this week, and I'm worried that it's not healthy. I've spotted very light brown today and a couple days ago, which I know is common so I'm not worried.
Avatar f tn I had small stomach cramps my entire first trimester but i had that with my first pregnancy as well so i knew it wasn't anything bad but if yours are really hurting you and your heart rate is up I'd call your birthing center if your Dr's office isn't open.
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, is it safe to have regular intimacy with your partner during the first trimester? And are there some changes or precautions I should take? Thank you guys in advance!
689528 tn?1364135841 There are a couple times through the book though that mention having a glass of wine during the first stage of labour in order to relax and sleep through contractions. I think it's put in our heads about alcohol and the effects on a pregnancy are sooo terrible. But would it really be that terrible to actually have a glass of wine in order to get a couple hours of shut eye?! Just wondering your thoughts ladies..... Note: a GLASS of wine....they don't talk about a whole bottle...
Avatar f tn I was wondering if it is safe to take benadryl in the first trimester. I have read online to avoid taking anything in the first trimester and my sister said her doctor told her to stay away from it as well. I am scared to take it until I find something out! Please Help! Thank You!!
Avatar n tn Is it safe for my husband to suck my breast during my first trimester in pregnancy? Are there any side effects or dangers involved?
691236 tn?1311199974 Thanks for the response...I am going to talk to my doc on Wednesday. Tylenol doesn't seem to help me much (I was always an advil taker) so I will talk with him and see what he suggests. Thanks for the post!
550943 tn?1330727580 ve heard from one person on here who says recent research has proven that it may not be safe to fly during the first trimester. However what I personally think is that miscarriages are unstoppable and I doubt that flying will have any effect. I flew in my first trimester and in my 3rd trimester and my daughter was fine both times. That is even with me having a miscarriage 6 weeks before I conceived her and bleeding from a subchorionic hematoma for 5 weeks during the first trimester.
8102917 tn?1402457914 ))) I was just wondering how much weight did you gain or lose during your first trimester weeks 1-12? I started at 109 pre-pregnancy and today at 13 weeks I'm 105-106 and not worried because my appitite just started increasing so I know the pounds are coming!
Avatar n tn I bleed in the 1st trimester n the 2nd. In the 1st trimester it was just a little bit n brownish (it's old blood) n the 2nd trimester bight red n alot. Well not enough to soak up a pad. So the doc said if it was not enough that a pad was soaked within an hour then it's still just considered spotting. Both were cuz of add blood flood to cervix.baby has always been fine. I have 6 more weeks left.
Avatar f tn ^yeah..I was complaining about just the beginning of a UTI last week at my appointment, the pee test didn't show anything but they still ordered me meds. Turns out I did have one. I'm 36 weeks tomorrow.
