So maybe I can help others with this. Being a FTM I was very afraid of going to the ER if it wasn't necessary. After talking with some women on here I manned up and have gone 3 times so far. How many times did you go to the ER when you had no clue how pregnancy should feel and act? Seeing other's numbers is what convinced me to go one night I actually needed to. Maybe it'll help someone else feel definite about their decision :)
@taylornelson, severely swollen, high BP. protein in urine, dizziness, kidney pain.... those were my symptoms, the kidney pain though brought me in. I was in the hospital for 1 week with a migraine, then left for a week and went back and delivered via emergency c-section. they were rolling their eyes saying nothing was wrong when I went back.... well that was because they had me laying down for over an hour before my BP was taken finally before the last BP before being taken I had to pee and they caught a high BP that was way too high. just sucks they could have caught it sooner and maybe given me something to control it if they would have listened or done their job right. they monitored me that night and told me to lay and rest and remain calm and I could go home, my doctor felt completely different!!! I tried telling them, when I am home I do not have the luxury of laying down 24/7!
my first pregnancy I went about 10 times, finally the last time they caught my preclampsia at week 36! I knew I didn't feel right but it took them that many trys to get it. mommies listen to your gut.... I knew something was wrong and took them longer to figure it out.
I'm 31 weeks and I've been three times just for random reasons. Like weird pains and twinges that I wasn't sure about
ilmommy93, my mom and I stopped talking about 3 months before I found out and I always expected to rely on her when I did get pregnant so I'm just trying to figure it out on my own 😞
@kelseys, I was bleeding twice, one doctor said to give it to me because I bled. The next time they called my doctor and he said it was too early so I'm sure you're good! I have a subchorionic hemorrhage and they didn't give me another one
really?! oh no, well I hope everything is fine now. that scares me because I've never had to have it before the 27/28weeks when the doctor gives it to us.
0. but I have called my mom at 2am to ask her what certain symptoms/signs meant. lll
@matthewsmom, nice! Everything that has happened to me decided to happen in the middle of the night 😩
@kelseys, I know, I've already had to have one shot because of bleeding. It's scary for sure :(
Not a single time, though I have called my doctor once. A lot of things I freaked out about were completely normal, so I just had to convince myself it was all good.
twice in my first pregnancy and about 5 or 6 times this time around
I've always knew I had it but it causes so many problems during pregnancy. with my first, I didn't know I was pregnant till almost 25weeks because I was bleeding every month when I was supposed to have my period, so my doctor said that happened because I have RH- and then this time I got so scared in the hospital because I didn't know that whenever you get vaginal bleeding because were RH- we need to go to the er right away from rhogam shot if not than our blood can mix with the baby's causing the baby to die and possibly ourselves. I didn't know it was that serious
I call the on call doctor. Saves money and they're really helpful. My doctors office is right at the hospital so it's great
@cass_lynne, once I get to even questioning whether I should go, the stress of not knowing is too much so I just go lol
once in my first pregnancy, once in my second and so far once now in my third pregnancy but I think I'll be visiting since my doctor scared me with vaginal bleeding and cramping while having RH Negative blood.
I've got twice. Went to labor and delivery once and called the on call doctor once.
68 more days to go
How much longer do you mamas have and time sure does feel like it's standing still.
So how many of you are first time parents and how many of you are second time parents? what are you feelings right now about expecting?
Strippers.
How do you all feel about your SO/hubby going to the strip club? I honestly have jealousy issues and I dont approve of it for my SO, as he already doesn't like too go. But i feel like if he wants to see women stripping on poles, I can be his own personal stripper. Lol ? I am just curious to see what others feel and think!
Maybe I'm crazy
Sooooo how many of you mom's (married or not) would be okay with their man going to a strip club??
how is everyone feeling today ? how did your day go ? how far along are you ? boy or girl ? I need some friends , I feel so lonely 😐
@wannaboyplz, oh wow that sounds terrible. I'm so sorry 😖
