Pregnancy Lower Back Pain

How many of you had lower back pain in the 1st trimester?
Cause I´m gonna be 6 weeks pregnant on Thursday and today I´ve been having really light pain on the lower right side of my back and it shoots all the way down to my leg..? I searched on the internet and it said its lumbar pain during pregnancy…
I was wondering how many of u had this during early pregnancy?

Pregnancy Bleeding After Intercourse
Cramping and bleeding after sexual intercourse?
I have been on the Depo shot for a year and a half now, and for a few months, I have been bleeding after intercourse with my boyfriend. A few weeks ago, I started cramping along with the bleeding, and occasionally I get nauseas. This all happens directly after intercourse. Now, I am especially gassy, constipated, and have abdominal cramping frequently as well. As I am writing this, the right side of my pelvis is cramping horribly. I was wondering if I should get a home pregnancy test, or go see my OB-GYN and see if it is a different reason.
Def get a test and see a doctor, it could be something internal is what I’m thinking. So I would schedule because only a professional could help you with this one.
Is vaginal bleeding normal during pregnancy? When should I be worried about it?

Pregnancy Dresses For Work

My job won’t accomodate my pregnancy?
I work at Cracker Barrel and I’m 4 months pregnant and steadily getting bigger. I’ve bought several pairs of stretchy slacks to fit comfortably. They’re still the correct length and color just adjustable so I have room to grow. today my boss told me maternity pants are not dress code policy and that Cracker Barrel does not make exceptions for pregnant women. My question is can they do this? I live in Texas if that matters.
They are the slacks mommy francis is talking about.
I would ask him to give you this in writing (shoot, ask him to write you up for it if he has a problem! Thats a way to get it in writing) and then contact HIS boss and watch him get fired. Pregnancies are technically considered temporary disabilities and fall under the Disabilities Act which means they have to “reasonably accommodate you” and not being able to fit in the regular pants and having to wear maternity clothing is a reasonable accommodation.

xxxxxxxxxxx
With my first I started to show around 14 weeks but wasn’t completely noticeable to people who didn’t know me until around 20 weeks. I got pretty big but I was all baby.. I didn’t really gain weight anywhere else and actually lost 26 lbs in the first day. I gained 46 lbs total when i delivered and have lost 30 total and only have 6 to go til my goal weight. I was 100lbs when I got pregnant though and very underweight. I am 5″3′. At 10 weeks I had probably gained 15 lbs. My daughter is 4 1/2 months now and like I said I’ve lost 30 so far.

Which line in pregnancy test detects the preg hormone?
Did a home pregnancy test. First response brand. The first line came up very faint and thin, hardly noticeable and the 2nd line came up very dark and thick. Which line is the one that detects the h level in my urine?
Have to see the test, but there is 2 lines so accept it, you’re pregnant! Faint or not you’re pregnant!!
Whose line is it anyway – Pregnancy test Hoedown

baby Gender Predictor – Should I have an Amniocentesis?
A baby gender predictor is any tool, tale or test that can help identify the gender of your baby, and can range from whacky old wives’ tales to professional and proven pregnancy testing and diagnoses.
Discovering that you are pregnant is an incredible moment and one that is often followed by a myriad of different emotions. Knowing that there is the beginning of a new life growing inside you is an indescribable sensation and marks the beginning of the long and very special journey that is motherhood. Many questions will present themselves along this path, and one of the earliest and most prominent is the ineffable, “Is it a boy or girl?” Thus begins the search for a baby gender predictor.
In the early days and weeks of your pregnancy you will be come across several different options for identifying your baby’s gender. Old wives’ tales and Chinese lunar calendars will have to compete with formal obstetric scans and pregnancy procedures. As a prenatal test incorporating chromosomal analysis, amniocentesis testing fits firmly into the second category. With an accuracy of identifying baby gender at over 99%, it is understandable why the amniocentesis test attracts attention from parents seeking a baby gender predictor. Nevertheless it is of significant importance that parents considering undergoing an amniocentesis fully understand the purpose of the test as well as the procedure, risks and implications.
The word ‘centesis’ means a puncture or perforation, and medically refers to the act of puncturing a body cavity or organ with a hollow needle in order to draw out fluid. An amniocentesis is therefore the extraction of amniotic fluid; the surrounding liquid that nourishes and protects your baby during pregnancy. Although not as intrusive as it might sound, it is clear that this is certainly not a non-invasive procedure. Let us therefore consider the process steps, the risks involved and the circumstances where an amniocentesis may be a prudent option.
The test is usually conducted at around 15 to 22 weeks into a pregnancy when there is a desire to check for chromosome abnormalities that indicate a condition such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome or Turner syndrome, or neural defects that may reside within either parent’s genetic history. Under ultrasound guidance, a thin needle is inserted through the mother’s abdominal wall to extract approximately 20ml of amniotic fluid from around the baby. The amniotic fluid naturally contains some foetal cells containing the same genetic blueprint as your baby. A chromosomal analysis of these cells will test for abnormalities indicating known conditions such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome or Turner syndrome. The chromosomal analysis will also confirm baby gender.
The vast majority of amniocentesis tests are completed without complication, approximately 1 in 200 results in a miscarriage. The use of ultrasound guidance and the competency of medical practitioner are key factors in minimizing this risk. There is also a secondary risk of a uterine infection in the days following the test which may also cause a miscarriage, although the occurrence rate is less than 1 in 1000.
Amniocentesis is normally only offered as an option in one or more of the following circumstances:
• The mother is to be 35 years old or older at delivery
• The parents have already had a child with a chromosomal disorder
• The parents themselves have a genetic or chromosomal disorder
• A previous ultrasound suggested possible abnormalities
• A maternal screening revealed the baby would be at a higher risk
Parents in these circumstances will have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of choosing to proceed with an amniocentesis test, and any decision is recommended to be taken in consultation with your medical professional.
Although without doubt an extremely accurate baby gender predictor, identifying baby gender should not be the primary incentive for taking an amniocentesis. There are other less-invasive baby gender predictor options that can be used very early into your pregnancy.

Is the birth control pill or IUD the same as an abortion?
Should they be illegal, even for married couples?
Sarah Palin thinks they should be.
“Sarah Palin belongs to “Feminists for Life.” This organization believes pregnancy begins at conception, not at implantation–most doctors, except the most seriously anti-abortion ones, do not believe pregnancy begins at conception because most “products of conception” do not implant themselves in the uterine wall. (I used “products of conception” because “oocyte,” the correct term, is a word most people aren’t familiar with and “fetus,” the term anti-abortion people like to use for all stages of pregnancy, isn’t correct at the point in time we’re discussing.)
Feminists for Life also calls birth control pills “abortifacient contraception.”
Therefore, not only is Sarah Palin against abortion, she’s against the most successful reversible method of reducing the abortion rate.”
