Has anyone been told they have Hydramnios and bedrest?

Not sure I spelled it right, but it's a condition that causes more than normal amniotic fluid level. Its common in my pregnancy because my daughter has CDH. At my ultrasound yesterday they told me my Fluid level was on the high end of normal and that I could develop this. I'm very nervous because this can cause preterm labor. I'm 25 weeks now and everything is looking great. Even though it's still technically in normal range, I wanted to hear from other women who have had this or known someone who has and what to expect. I need a plan B because I work full time and I know bed-rest would be necessary if I end up having this later in the pregnancy. Can you get temp disability? How do you support your family if you go on bed rest?

i am not a good prego and it seems with all 3 of my babies it was something but with my first child (she is 6 now) we had polyhydramnios..we were not diagnosed until the second trimester and through an ultrasound they could tell that the baby was producing more urine than needed. You know because a baby will swallow the fluid, pass it through the kidneys and pass it as urine (weird how all that works) and then continues to do that....so by the end most of the fluid is your baby's urine...kinda gross...anyway...we were sent to a specialist who watched the levels closely and all that kinda stuff. She was born at nearly 37 weeks and we were induced because there was just too much fluid, when they broke my water it was like a tide came..lol
Not on bed rest with the 1st but was with the 3rd (she was born at 27 weeks) also worked full time and found that once my family medical leave was up there was not really a point in staying around....it has been super hard going from 2 incomes to 1 but it is something that we have had to do in order to take care of our preemie princess (who is now 18 months)... not sure if you could take out short term disability..i didn't try because i knew that there was no way i would be able to return to work once the baby came...i knew that she would need someone with her around the clock for medical reasons...BUT it is worth a phone call..i don't see why you couldn't take out short term disability, you are able to take it out when you give birth (through AFLAC) while on maternity leave it seems you would be able to in your case.
Good Luck to you and your baby

Pregnancy and Nutrition?

Im almost 18 weeks pregnant, and I don't have an appetite at all. I thought that it would pick up in my second trimester, but it hasnt. Im eating less than i did when i wasnt pregnant. I believe alot of it has to do with me being so concerned with gaining TOO much weight that im subconciously not eating. i barely eat enough daily to make up one meal, much less three+. How much should i be eating right about now?? and could my problem harm the baby??

Your baby absolutely needs the nutrients and protein that your body provides by eating meals. Try making smoothies, if you find that you don't have an appetite for anything else- your baby needs nourishment!

Pilates/yoga during pregnancy?

I am in pretty good shape. I am pretty active but I havent really done pilates or yoga because I tend to find them boring. I go on hour walks every other day and well I have a toddler at home and that is an exercise on its own. I am looking for a pilates dvd for a beginning I dont want something that will be too hard for me. I want to give pilates or yoga a try but I have been reading the amazon reviews and I just dont know what to pick. My doc gave me the ok, she said just as long as I am not laying on my back and straining myself either or will be ok. Any suggestions, in your opinion what is better during pregnancy (for a beginner) pilates or yoga, and what videos do you reccomend.
With my 1st I was lucky to have a nice tight flat belly after giving birth but god knows what luck I'll run with this time.

Thank you

Oh yes I am 20 weeks today and I also swim for an exercise.

I have Prenatal Yoga ~ Shiva Rea and Pilates During Pregnancy, Vol. 1 ~ Niece Pecenka and I like them both. I've done both Yoga and Pilates prior to getting pregnant but just did at-home DVDs. It sounds like you're somewhat of an athlete as it is so you should have no problem figuring out the moves on either of these. The Yoga poses are really easy compared to my other DVD but it's nice to shut off and stretch. The Pilates one is a little more of a workout but I don't think it's strenuous at all. Both are segmented so you don't have to do all of the sections at once.

I've been doing both since 5wks and I'm now 14wks.

Good luck!

When did you inform your work of your pregnancy?

Im about 10/11 weeks along, and still in early stages! im not sure when would be best to let my work know!! i work in a very small office just myself my two MD (both male) and one of there wives!! ive not had much time of sick just one day, due to M/S. when did you inform your work and how did you tell them! im very nervous as not very good at this sort of thing!!

thank you!!

xxxx

I told mine at about 10 weeks, only because they were interviewing for people to cover two other maternity leaves on my team and I thought it would only be fair to let them know it would be three!
I don't think you're under any obligation to tell them early, so you could always wait for the first scan.

I'm sure they will be delighted for you, and if they aren't they at least have to pretend they are!

The Conception Chronicles


The Conception Chronicles


$10.26


When we first started down the baby-making path, we thought we`d be pregnant in no time. We`d just toss out our birth control pills and before we knew it, we`d be rocking our little one to sleep. Little did we know what was in store for us, or the energy it would take to face all of the crazy, unpredictable and (sometimes) irrational emotions we felt along the way. Neither did our husbands. Sound familiar? If your idea of foreplay is screaming, "I`m ovulating; it`s time!!!" to your oblivious husband... If your ovulation schedule is ruling your life and every trip to the drug store includes a bulk purchase of pregnancy sticks... If you`re running out of answers to the chronic questioning from the pregnancy paparazzi about your plans for parenthood ... Then this is the book for you. Whether it`s been three months or three years since you`ve been trying, the more complicated and overwhelming the process becomes.The Conception Chronicles shares candid humor, hold-nothing-back banter and practical advice on everything that goes along with trying to start a family: from dealing with your fertile friends to the battery of tests you may have to face; from surviving "sex on demand" to navigating the ins and outs of high-tech fertility treatments. This book will guide you through the emotional journey to motherhood, offering compassion and laughter like only your best girlfriends can. And we promise you`ll never hear us say, "Relax and you`ll be pregnant in no time."

Has anyone tried FertileCM?

I don't think that I get that EWCM stuff. I have never noticed before that I got it and we have been TTC for 2 years now. I have been researching and reading that you are supposed to get EWCMaround your fertile period but I don't think I get this or maybe I don't get enough to notice. I found this stuff called FertileCM on www.early-pregnancy-tests.com and it seems to have some pretty good reviews. I want to purchase some to try it but I am short on money so I am wondering if anyone on yahoo answers has tried it and what they thought. I just don't want to waste my money. If anyone has any OTHER tips or suggestions please let me know as well. I have tried pre-seed which was nice but so far has not worked and I have purchased an ovulation predictor kit from walmart which gave me a positive for ovulation but I did not get prg. This month I am hoping to try pre-seed, Fertile CM, and ovulation strips and see if that works.

Ok I know exactly how you feel about the money thing. So what you can do is instead of fertile cm buy Evening primrose oil (EPO) which only cost a few dollars & can be purchased from any drugstore or vitamin shop. It does the same thing I am using it now & I have noticed the EWCM since I began. I read the story on fertile cm, but I said why bother & the EPO is working fine.

So try that, good luck & baby dust to you!

Growing up, Gaby Rodriguez was told more than once that she would end up a teen mom. After all, her mother had been a teen mom, and her older sisters had as well. Gaby had ambitions that didn`t include becoming a young mother. But she wondered: how she would be perceived if she "lived down" to others expectations about the path her life would take? This question is what sparked Gaby`s school project: fake her own pregnancy as a high school senior and see how her friends, family, and community reacts. What she learned changed her life forever. In THE PREGNANCY TEST, Gaby shares her experience growing up in the shadow of low expectations, reveals how she was able to fake her own pregnancy, and reveals all that she learned from the experience.
