What Week of Pregnancy Am I In???

I am very confused about what week I am in in my pregnancy. I am not able to go to the doctor for another month due to lack of funds and insurance problems. This is my third pregnancy, and it was a BIG surprise. My last period was May 26, but it was short and only dark brown. I had been feeling dizzy, sick, tired and starting to get a belly for the last two months. I only took a pregnancy test because I was suppose to start that day and I felt sick, so I thought I would just see. And it came back positive. I didn't start thinking I was...

Meijer or Kroger

Has anyone compared prices at Meijer and Kroger? I can't tell which one has the lowest prices. It seems to me that maybe groceries are lower at Kroger while produce is lower at Meijer. There is no doubt that deli meats are lower at Meijer. I would rather shop at Kroger as it is less crowded and crazy, but not if I end up spending more. What have you all find to be best?

Guilt over Son's Premature Birth

Hi ladies, I'm new to this site and in need of an honest opinion about my son's birth. My son was born a few months ago and he was born at 31 weeks and I feel like it was all my fault. When I was about 28 weeks along I went to the bathroom and when I stood up I felt a drip go down my leg. I called my OB and they were booked that day (it was about 3pm) and told me to go to a local hospital OB triage. During that visit they did a "dry specimen" where they cannot use any lubricant and they put the speculum inside and swabbed my uterus...

Pinched Nerve When Pregnant

Hi, I am 8 months pregnant and about a month ago I started having trouble with carpal tunnel. Now to make matters worse I have a pinched nerve on the right side between my shoulder blade and spine. It was already hard enough to sleep with my hands and wrists tingling and hurting, now I wake up and have to walk around to get it to stop. But it hurts to adjust myself in bed and now my hands tingle all day also from the pinched nerve. I take Tylenol when it gets bad, but does anyone else have any advice about this? I've never had these...

Luck with Putting Yourself into Labor?

ok, need to have this baby before my doc leaves town for a conference next week. He is solo in his practice and the only one in my county that even entertains the idea of a VBAC (which I am determined to have), so he is it. I am 39 weeks along, so it shouldn't be too long now, I would just prefer it happen 'naturally' prior to his departure next week. This is my 5th (1st 3 were easy vaginal, last one was c-section due to a complete placenta previa) and with a vbac, inducing is not favorable. any ideas or things that have worked for you?...

Daughter Won't Eat Breakfast Before School

Hello Ladies, The school year is beginning and I know that it benefits a child when they eat breakfast before going to school. My seven year old daughter is not a big breakfast eater and last year it was a battle to get her to eat before getting on the bus. I asked her if she would try drinking a shake every morning and she said that sounds yummy. Can anyone suggest a good tasting nutritious shake full of vitamins for her to try. I live in a small town and we have a Meijer and Walmart, otherwise it would have to be something I can order...

Is It Just Me?

Ok, I feel a little ridiculous with this question, but it's really bothering me so I hope someone out there can give me some insight as to what's going on with my body. (So you know, I do have an appointment with my OBGYN on Wednesday) I have been having a lot of weird, small symptoms lately and I'm not sure what to make of them. I will list them for you (in no particular order): frequent urination, foul smelling urine, tired, nausea and a little shaky before lunch (feeling as though I NEED to eat), gassy, looser stool, and what seems to...

Pregnancy Test Results.

I have taken 3 of the meijer "the clear result and digital pregnancy test's" and each time it comes up not pregnant. it is now september 30th an i have not recieved my period for this month.
