Tell me what ya think... My lmp was 10/30/2009,I always ovulate around 2wks later which would mean i ovulated around nov.14th. I dtd on the 14th of nov. Afew days later I started feeling certain things going on in my body and I knew I was pg'd. Sure enough 2wks later(nov.29th) I tested and it was positive,making me around 4wks. Now here's the thing.... 3wks later I had an u/s when i should have been 7wks 5days but the clinic said i measured 6wks 3days???? So my question is
..should I stick with what i should be which is 13wks 3days(edd 8/06/2010) today or go with them which is 12wks 1day(edd 8/15/2010)???? I really wanna stay with what i know because i know what day i had sex and what day i felt ovulation pains. sorry this was so long but what you think??? 12wks 1day or 13wks 3days?????12wks 1day or 13wks 3days?????Message #1: 12wks 1day or 13wks 3days????? Posted by: KLS0228 Date: Feb 1, 2010.I would go by the u/s becuase those thing are usually pretty close. You may have ovulated later than though. That happend to me on my first u/s with DD.

At my first appointment at 6 wks my Dr said my uterus size corresponded with my dates.

lls....YuK!!Initial Message Posted by: BabyDems Date: Feb 1, 2010.I just want to vent about my doctor bills that seem to have piled up in the last few months! I guess I am not use to paying for doctor bills 'cause I have always been so healthy and only going to the doc. maybe 1X every may 3 years...max! Jesus....they sure charge you for every little freaking thing!...I had a pap that came back irregular...so that was a procedure....than I had a D&C done....around 2,000 for the two...with the labs of coarse! Too bad that it was at the end of last year...as far as my deductible goes! Hopefully tax time will be good to us and we can get them paid off!EpiduralsInitial Message Posted by: jaxxyroo Date: Feb 1, 2010.How much does the actual insertion of the epidural needle hurt? It looks really painful and scary,
but I don't think I can make it without one, lol. Does anyone have experience with this? EpiduralsEpiduralsMessage #1: Epidurals Posted by: FidgetCJR Date: Feb 1, 2010.I had one with both of my kids, the pain of labor was worst than the insertion of the needle, so by that point, I would have cut off my left leg if it would have stopped the pain lol They actually numb the location with a local first, so that is all you really feel, and then nothing. The hardest part is sitting still.EpiduralsMessage #2: Epidurals Posted by: moosey1974 Date: Feb 1, 2010.It does hurt I won't lie, but if the anesthesiologist is a good one the end result is o
h so wonderful, and the medicine does start working right away. I went natural with my first and vowed never again. I have had epidurals with the next three and I plan on having one with this one.EpiduralsMessage #3: Epidurals Posted by: ttrishh Date: Feb 1, 2010.Lurking from second tri... Trust me if/when you get to the point of asking for an epidural the last thing you are worried about is the pain from the needle.... I don't even remember feeling the needle, I was too busy consentrating on staying still through the contraction while they inserted it. I hope that helped and didn't make it worse. EpiduralsMessag
e #4: Epidurals Posted by: AMCMSM Date: Feb 1, 2010.Lurking...........Just like pps I did not even feel it. I remember the pinch from the local but, I don't even remember feeling anything other then the relief.EpiduralsMessage #5: Epidurals Posted by: Angela03102 Date: Feb 1, 2010.The Epi was not that bad IMO. I was having horrible back labor with DS, so after 10 hours of that, the epidural didn't even contend I will say that I am not going to get one this time around, simply cause it was too much medication for me. After the shot, I immediately fell asleep and woke up 5 hours later to the nurses forcing an oxygen mask on me and we were off to the OR for an emergency c-section. The epi also made me tremble very badly and the whole surgery I was shaking and very cold. As
for the initial shot, piece of cake, even the catheter was painless. I just didn't care for the side effects EpiduralsMessage #6: Epidurals Posted by: pooh4disney Date: Feb 1, 2010.didnt hurt at all u dont even remember it and for most women u dont remember the pain of laborEpiduralsMessage #7: Epidurals Posted by: Colleen3996 Date: Feb 1, 2010.I had an epidural with DS. I was more scared of the epidural than of labor! I AM SO SCARED OF NEEDLES! So I toughed it out for 14 hours but eventually knew I needed the epi so the called it in for me. I got all worked up/ started crying and shaking... I was so scared about the needle... but SURPRISINGLY I didn't even feel it. The only pain I felt w
as my contractions while trying to sit completely still. So for me, it wasn't as bad as I had imagined in my mind (I had worried about it my whole first pregnancy!!) As for if it hurts to have it done before you are in any real labor pain.. I don't know. But incomparison to my labor pain, the epi was a piece of cake. I will DEFINATELY be having an epi with this baby!! Hope I was some help, and that I didn't scare you.EpiduralsMessage #8: Epidurals Posted by: SLCastle Date: Feb 1, 2010.If you are in labor, the pain won't even compare. You pretty much can't even feel it.Group B StrepGroup B StrepMessage #1: Group B Strep Posted by: jessica5289 Date: Feb 1, 2010.When I was pregnant with # 2 I had group b. Wi
th #3 I didn't test pos. for it. I have csect anyway but I don't know the rule but maybe you wont have it. hop that helps.Jessica and the 3 MunchkinsGroup B StrepMessage #2: Group B Strep Posted by: FidgetCJR Date: Feb 1, 2010.I tested positive with both of my kids, but as pp said, sometimes you can be negative after previous positives and also positive after previous negatives, so it depends on the pregnancy. That said, I am considering inducing because of the same reason, I have positive 2 for 2, my entire labor (from first contraction ) to delivery is about 2 hours, and I live about 1.5 hours from the hospital. I know my doctor will induce, I think a lot depends on the doctor, but it is worth asking. In addition, I have heard of women who were positive getting ab's before even going into labor. Maybe you can ask about that? Good luck!

I only have 202 days left. I will be under 200 by the end of the week!!!!!!!! So exciting! I have three weeks before my next appointment and I can't wait. I will get to hear the heartbeat then and will feel a lot more relaxed. Of course by then I might have already felt the baby move. I am finally starting to feel better. I get little spurts of energy. I wish I could just kick butt and get the house clean but after like twenty minutes (maybe) I am ready for a nap. My goal today is to get the laundry caught up. I have about 6-8 loads!

Pregnancy: 1st Trimester12wk u/s test this morning....Initial Message Posted by: mzcherries Date: Feb 2, 2010.Hi ladies... just wanna let you know that I went for my 12wks u/s test this morning were they measure the skin on the back of the babys neck. Well as she was doing the scan she said that the measurements she did looked fine and in normal range...
The baby was being real busy this morning also moving around and it took her a while to get the measurements...lol. The baby also had hiccups(wow) and its so weird,eventhough ive been pregnant b4 and had children..I guess each time its like brand new.
I havent really been enthused about the pregnancy because everybody has been against it but the more I see it the more I get attached and realize there's a baby growing in there... edd is officially 8/15/2010...hoping for another girl....12/22/09 bpm 123,1/22/2010 bpm 167 and today 157 bpm12wk u/s test this morning....12wk u/s test this morning....Message #1: 12wk u/s test this morning....

But im fine and thanks... 12wk u/s test this morning....Message #3: 12wk u/s test this morning.... Posted by: sunanmoon75 Date: Feb 2, 2010.Sounds like you had a great appointment. I can't wait for mine, I feel the same way, when I get to see the baby I'm happy that it's in there LOL. I'm still a little apprehensive about this one, but I'm trying to work through it. I really wish people wouldn't project their negativity on us now! We are nurturing life, that should be a good thing, why does anyone want to mess that up. Your right, this is your baby, and you have to care for it so no one should
be giving you grief. I feel that every baby deserves to be loved and wanted way before they actually get here. Keep on with your positive feelings, your baby will be all the better for it!12wk u/s test this morning....Message #4: 12wk u/s test this morning....

Posted by: lisax4156 Date: Feb 2, 2010.I had my test this past friday. Everything was in normal range. They measure the fluid behind the babys neck. Did you get the blood work done for Trisomy 18? I didn't do this. There's too many false positives. I didn't want to worry myselfl to deat
h over the test results if they were false positives. The dr and sonographer said the baby looked excellent, so I left it at that. Lisa12wk u/s test this morning....Message #6: 12wk u/s test this morning.... Posted by: mzcherries Date: Feb 2, 2010.AW ok thats great....yes I took the blood test also cause they said to really get accurate results that had to be included but im not worried everything is fine plus the u/s tech said that the neck measurments should be under 3( i think) and mine were under the number she said ....
I get all the results next wednesday when i go back... edd 8/15/2010Pregnancy: 1st Trimester1st Drs Visit TodayInitial Message Posted by: Nevtaliel Date: Feb 2, 2010.I had my appointment earlier today and got my blood drawn. My Dr said he thinks I'm actually 2 months along instead of 1. So now I have to wait until Monday for the ultrasound to be sure. I guess I have to be patient but that seems like forever lol. Either way I'm happy to have the confirmation and looking forward to seeing my next little blob on the ultrasound. 1st Drs Visit Today1st Drs Visit TodayMessage #1: 1st Drs Visit Today Posted by: MichelleB26 Date: Feb 2, 2010.Did he give u a reason why he thinks you're further?1st Drs Visit TodayMessage #2: 1st Drs Visit Today Posted by: Nevtaliel Date: Feb 2, 2010.I had a very light period on the 30th and my pregnancy symptoms started cropping up a week after that af. He said most likely _base_d off of that and the fact that I had a poas a couple days before the next af was supposed to show up, I'm probably 2 months instead of 1. Of course he could be wrong and I could only be a month. I'll not be upset either way I suppose other than getting past the "danger zone" time _frame_.Pregnancy: 1st Trimest

I only have 202 days left. I will be under 200 by the end of the week!!!!!!!! So exciting! I have three weeks before my next appointment and I can't wait. I will get to hear the heartbeat then and will feel a lot more relaxed. Of course by then I might have already felt the baby move. I am finally starting to feel better. I get little spurts of energy. I wish I could just kick butt and get the house clean but after like twenty minutes (maybe) I am ready for a nap. My goal today is to get the laundry caught up. I have about 6-8 loads! Maybe a little more. 11 weeks today11 weeks todayMessage #1: 11 weeks today Posted by: amndsant1 Date: Feb 2, 2010.We are due-date buddies!!!! Congrats!

Pregnancy: 1st Trimester12wk u/s test this morning....Initial Message Posted by: mzcherries Date: Feb 2, 2010.Hi ladies... just wanna let you know that I went for my 12wks u/s test this morning were they measure the skin on the back of the babys neck. Well as she was doing the scan she said that the measurements she did looked fine and in normal range...
The baby was being real busy this morning also moving around and it took her a while to get the measurements...lol. The baby also had hiccups(wow) and its so weird,eventhough ive been pregnant b4 and had children..I guess each time its like brand new.
I havent really been enthused about the pregnancy because everybody has been against it but the more I see it the more I get attached and realize there's a baby growing in there... edd is officially 8/15/2010...hoping for another girl....12/22/09 bpm 123,1/22/2010 bpm 167 and today 157 bpm12wk u/s test this morning....12wk u/s test this morning....Message #1: 12wk u/s test this morning....

But im fine and thanks... 12wk u/s test this morning....Message #3: 12wk u/s test this morning.... Posted by: sunanmoon75 Date: Feb 2, 2010.Sounds like you had a great appointment. I can't wait for mine, I feel the same way, when I get to see the baby I'm happy that it's in there LOL. I'm still a little apprehensive about this one, but I'm trying to work through it. I really wish people wouldn't project their negativity on us now! We are nurturing life, that should be a good thing, why does anyone want to mess that up. Your right, this is your baby, and you have to care for it so no one should
be giving you grief. I feel that every baby deserves to be loved and wanted way before they actually get here. Keep on with your positive feelings, your baby will be all the better for it!12wk u/s test this morning....Message #4: 12wk u/s test this morning....

Posted by: lisax4156 Date: Feb 2, 2010.I had my test this past friday. Everything was in normal range. They measure the fluid behind the babys neck. Did you get the blood work done for Trisomy 18? I didn't do this. There's too many false positives. I didn't want to worry myselfl to deat
h over the test results if they were false positives. The dr and sonographer said the baby looked excellent, so I left it at that. Lisa12wk u/s test this morning....Message #6: 12wk u/s test this morning.... Posted by: mzcherries Date: Feb 2, 2010.AW ok thats great....yes I took the blood test also cause they said to really get accurate results that had to be included but im not worried everything is fine plus the u/s tech said that the neck measurments should be under 3( i think) and mine were under the number she said ....

H&H 9 months5 Weeks and Cramping5 Weeks and CrampingMessage #2: 5 Weeks and Cramping Posted by: lisax4156 Date: Feb 3, 2010.Its very normal. I had AF cramps consistant until week 8-9, then they started subsiding. I am now 13 w and I still have them 2-3 days per week. Lisa5 Weeks and CrampingMessage #3: 5 Weeks and Cramping Posted by: wmills03 Date: Feb 3, 2010.I starting cramping terrible at 3 weeks and thought that my period was going to start. I still cramp now... not near as much but I do. As long as they dont feel any more painful than period cramps and are not accompanied by bleeding then you are fine, if they get unbearable and you are bleeding call your doctor and or go the ER. Also, if you notice that the pain is more on one side than the other most of the time... you may want to call your doctor and advise them of this issue. But like everyone says below, and in my case mainly the cramping is just your baby and uterus making room for the next nine months. Unfortunalty this can be very uncomfortable. I am right there with you I just went to see my baby yesterday 6

due 9/5/10Anyone have All Kids in Illinois??Anyone have All Kids in Illinois??Message #5: Anyone have All Kids in Illinois?? Posted by: Shriverhealth Date: Feb 3, 2010.Hi myszko - I am a health care specialist in Illinois. The All Kids website (www.allkids.com) or the All Kids hotline (1-866-ALL-KIDS) are good resources for information about Illinois' medical assistance programs. You can also search for an All Kids Application Agent near you who can help you fill out the application and answer your questions. If you qualify for Moms and Babies then you can get coverage for all your prenatal and non-prenatal care during your pregnancy and for 60 days afterward. This will also automatically enroll your child in All Kids. The other great thing is that Moms and Babies will retroactively pay for some of your care up to three m
onths before you applied for the program. You do need to list your boyfriend on the application, if you are living together, and once the child is born your boyfriend (any you) may be able to get coverage through the FamilyCare. Congratulations and good luck! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.Anyone have All Kids in Illinois??Message #6: Anyone have All Kids in Illinois?? Posted by: jessica5289 Date: Feb 3, 2010.In our state it doesn't matter if your married. If you live together it counts as household income. I wouldn't lie because the can file charges against you if they catch you. I hope for the best for you.

: jessica5289 Date: Feb 3, 2010.sorry I forgot to tell you that medicaid in our state does look into things. Because there isn't enough $ they are trying to get out of paying. I have private insurance and not rx insurance. They tried to bill my health insurance for every rx they paid for. They also found some dental insurance that we didn't know we had on our son and tried to bill something 2 years after the fact. They are looking for fraud. I would be very careful. Good luck.
