Posted by An_242764

My first OB appointment they did an ultrasound, pelvic exam and blood work. Most OB's won't see you until you are around 10 weeks unless you are high risk and then it could be earlier and more often. I see my OB once a month.

Check online for the affects of folic acid on the fetus.

The discharge is normal and for your urine it is normal too. What to watch out for is if it's really yellow and then it could indicate that you are dehydrated so you should drink more fluids. Try to stay away from soda's and caffeine because those can dehydrate you and the caffeine can have some bad side effects on the baby after it's born. Baby's can have withdrawl symptoms just like anyone else.

As for drugs you can take it's very limited. You can't take Ibuprofen or anything that contains it like advil, aleve, motrin, etc. Pretty much the only pain medication you can take is tylonel. If you get a cold you can't really take any cold medicine until you are about 12 weeks and then it's limited. If you look online you can find a list of medications you can take. Also talk to your local pharmacist because they can tell you what is safe and what isn't.

There isn't always a lot that you can do for morning sickness (all day sicness). If you go to an OB they will prescribe you some anti nausea medicine that will help.

Going to an OB is worth it. They can help more than you think if you find a good one. I did research online and found a good one. I choose a woman because women understand women's bodies more and she's had kids. And your first Ob appointment is more than having them tell you that you are pregnant. They will check to make sure the baby is ok and that you are doing well. For me it was well worth it because they checked my A1C (blood sugars) and found out I was diabetic. Gestational diabetes is harmful for you and the baby if it's not controlled. It can cause the baby to be too big and makes the baby very sick after birth and for you it can cause high blood pressure and preterm labor. It's actually pretty common for pregnant women to get gestational diabetes.

So for your sake and for your baby you should see an OB-GYN. You can always call the clinic and see if there is a payment plan or if they have financial aid before you go. It's always better to be safe than sorry.View Thread

Posted by Curt77

The third Person I interviewed was the Pastor. Now for WEEKS I have been texting him and calling him and he simply will not reply. So one day I sent a text basically stating how suspect he is acting and if he is not guilty of anything, he should stop acting like it! He then sent me an sms stating how I took 2 dna test and the power for me to see my son lies in the court and him Miss Roois hands. He also said he is not guiding miss rooi with anything. When he said that I then sent him several text message of him telling Miss Rooi what to do for example; I organized a day to spend with my son and later on Miss Rooi sent me a message that said " My pastor said you cannot see your son this Saturday. We must meet first..." So the following week we had this meeting that the pastor wanted and after I did this i wanted to take him out for ice cream... She got nervous and called her pastor to see if it was ok!.. So after i sent him these messages he didnt reply. And more recently I asked Miss Rooi if we can get a third test done so we dont have to go to court and she said her pastor said no..not to do it?! Guilty!!!!

And lastly I interviewed the nurse who did my first test via the courts. My first question to her was how in the world (after looking at me in my face_ and asking me what my Ethnicity was....to document a complete different Ethnicity? She said that she doesn't know why and she cant remember.. Even though we made joke about me being american when shes asked me....She even said how she want to the US before. How after all that discussion and asking me (and everyone else who took the test) to my face about my ethinicity .. get it wrong?! lol

She then commented how Dr York,(the MD of the laboratory) called her and elaborated how rude I was in the email to him. I told her that I have the emails her and the same way I am treating you...I was treating him. He was giving me the run around and all I asked for was a piece of paper! She then said There is no way that you they will do something fraudulent and she swears on it... ( OH I completely for got to tell you!!! Dr York sent me copies of my results and after looking at them carefully I noticed that the Paternal Index numbers where Completely DIFFERENT from the original results I received from the court!) I showed her these different results and she was quite! She looked over them as said that she doesn't know how this happened and she will make a copy of it and show it to Mr. York ( This happened 3 days ago and I haven't received a call from him... Dont you think this would need more immediate attention as its 2 completely different calculations? I would think so)

The last thing the nurse said ( which she should have never said) was " BUT YOU TOOK A SECOND TEST" When she said this the , first thing that went on my mind was " HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU KNOW!" This means she already knew the outcome of my second dna test and that's why she brought it up to cover up all these mistakes. And the second test was done privately through a completely different laboratory that's not even affiliate with the first lab. This could also mean that there was communication with both laboratories to fix my results!! hmmm

SO that about it.. my next court date is on the 28th of this month and I am really trying to push for this 3rd test and she doesnt want to do it as her pastor advised her not to!
