And there is nothing wrong with that, but you need to sit down and talk with your boyfriend about this before you discover that you simply do not want children - it could be a major deal breaker for him.
Do you want children at all? Is it just being pregnant and the immediate years following (breastfeeding, etc) that freak you out? Perhaps adoption (or even surrogacy) would be a better option for you and your boyfriend. But like I said, this is something that you and him (and perhaps a professional) need to figure out.
I would suggest you speak with a professional who is better suited to help you sort out these issues.
I wish you the best!!View Thread

Tylenol is what my OB said is okay. He said to stay away from Ibuprofen if possible.
General anesthesia is NOT okay. Dentists (and OB's) say to wait until the 2nd trimester before continuing dental work. Some dentists (like mine) require a not from the OB stating it is okay for the patient to recieve dental care.
I had a tooth pulled a couple months ago and all I was able to get was novacain - no general.
So, your daughter definitely needs to let her denist know she is pregnant - she will probably have to delay the surgery until she is out of the 1st trimester. And she needs to let her OB know that she has dental work pending so they can review what is and isnt okay.View Thread

Unfortunately, I dont have any experience with what you are going through, hopefully some other ladies will be able to assist! Best wishes!!View Thread


Have you taken a home pregnancy test? That should be your first step after a missed period. And if you are, you would need to get some kind of prenatal care so you would eventually need to see a doctor.
Also, you do not need insurance to see a doctor, you would just pay out of pocket for your visit.
If you have any other questions, I would recommend visiting this board:

Pregnant women can get colds, just like anyone else. The only problem is there really isn't anything we can take to ease symptoms (except for plain old Tylenol).
With all due respect, you seem very uneducated about pregnancy. This is a great site to learn about the ins and outs - I would suggest taking a tour of the pregnancy related articles available on this site and perhaps speaking with a couple female family members who have been through pregnancy.
Good luck!View Thread


Low blood pressure (or Hypotension) during pregnancy cause be caused by several different factors.
- Dehydration
- Expansion of the circulatory system
- The release of certain hormones, which can expand the blood vessels
- Anemia and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can also cause low blood pressure during pregnancy
- Rising too quickly from a sitting or lying position
- Drink plenty of water!! (at least 64oz per day)
- Eat small frequent meals/snacks to help prevent low blood sugar
- Mild exercise, like walking, can help improve circulation and help prevent low blood pressure
- Rise slowly and carefully after you've been sitting or lying for extended periods of time.

I'm not privvy to all the ins and outs of Diabetes, but from what I do undestand, that isnt something you want to mess around with, right?
I would at least schedule an appointment to be seen, there could be a more serious underlying issue.View Thread
