Posted by admin on Nov 15, 2009

my wife is 28 weeks pregnant and hasnt had the rhogam shot she was going to get it today but they found antibodies they dont know yet if it is the good antibodies or the bad antibodies. If it is the bad antibodies what will the doctor do? could it harm my son? should we be worried?

you should relax…im sure anit bodies are the good ones to have ..
i have never had a rubella shot …i have massaive amounts of anit bodies from measles as a kid

im sure shes not the forst one the dr has seen and they will take what action is needed to ensure your son is delivered safely :)

congrats tho


28 weeks pregnant and nervous about baby movements?

Posted by admin on Nov 11, 2009

Im 28 weeks pregnant and still not noticing a pattern to my babies movements. Also some days i go hours without feeling her move. I dont know if this is normal. It feels very inconsistent. This is my first pregnancy so i dunno what is normal… please offer me advice. thank you.

I think it’s fine. My baby doesn’t move constantly and he’ll sleep for hours at a time and I wont feel him. Also I’m 37wks and he still had no "regular or normal" patterns as to when he’s awake and when he likes to sleep. He just does whatever he wants (lol). He was still kind of quiet for me at 28wks. As long as you’re feeling your baby throughout the day, everyday now then all is well. Some docs have mothers do "kick counts", but if your doc hasn’t told you to do those then don’t worry about them. As long as she’s moving she’s ok. Your little one will start to sleep a lot more as these last few weeks go by. If it’ll make you feel better you can go into L&D and they’ll check her. She sounds totally normal to me though. Congrats on your little sweet pea :)


28 weeks pregnant and brown spotting/discharge normal?

Posted by admin on Nov 6, 2009

I’m 28 weeks pregnant and my discharge the last 2 days has been a little more brown. It’s not very heavy. Is this normal?
i haven’t had sex in weeks as I had a cerclage placed at 21 weeks. I don’t have any other sympotoms and the amount is not a lot/

Brown discharge usually indicates "old" blood… like blood that you’ve produced in the last couple of days that is just now being expelled.
Have you had sex within, like, the last 3 days? That’s usually the number one cause of spotting. It’s cervical bleeding, from your cervix being over-sensitive and filled with extra blood-vessels from pregnancy, and can bleed due to friction or constant touching (like from sexual activity) and there is no harm to you or the baby.
The other cause of bleeding is placental. This is where the actual placenta bleeds (for various reasons) and there is a 1 in 3 chance of miscarriage with placental bleeding.
I wouldn’t worry too much – unless you’re bleeding enough to soak two maxi pads (a general rule of my doctor), then it shouldn’t be any cause for concern (yeah right, right?? :-) ).
Just go to your doctor and get checked out if you’re really freaked out. But I’d say, at 28 weeks, you’ll know if you’re miscarrying .. I’m also 7 months and your baby should weigh about 2 lbs and be about 14 inches long. If you were to expell that, you’d notice!
Good luck, sweetie… just remember to take care of yourself!


28 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH A LOT OF PRESSURE IS IT NORMAL TO FEEL PRESSURE?

Posted by admin on Nov 3, 2009

I am 28 weeks and feeling a lot of pressure down there that i can hardly walk, is it normal at 28 weeks?

yes, some babies settle quite low quite early.

Is this your first baby?- are you feeling any contractions along with the pressure?

the best thing to do is to ask your Midwife or Dr. about this- and if you’re really concerned, don’t wait until your next appointment- Call today.

Moms usually KNOW if something is really wrong- Trust your gut.


Im 28 weeks pregnant and have noticed my baby dropping is this normal?

Posted by admin on Oct 30, 2009

Im only 28 weeks pregnant and have noticed that my belly has dropped quiet a bit is this normal has anyone else dropped this early?

That could just be the baby moving down. The baby is able to move all over now. I am also 28 weeks and when she hangs out at the bottom it makes me look like I am carrying lower then when she is towards my ribs. She also stays under my belly button for the most part. She only wonders every now and then.


If I am 28 weeks pregnant but the ultrasound said my babies measured 30 weeks which is it?

Posted by admin on Oct 27, 2009

Am I 28 weeks or thirty weeks? I am so confused And if I am 28 weeks does this mean the baby will be huge?

your baby just may be measuring slightly big at the moment. it could mean you have a bigger baby, i wouldnt say huge or you might just have he/she a bit early. i wouldnt worry about it.x

im getting ready to dy my hair and im 28 weeks pregnant will it be ok?

Posted by admin on Oct 24, 2009

im 28 weeks pregnant im dying it brown cuz right its dyed blonde and my roots are 3 inches long and my mom wants me to dye it before my baby shower will the baby be ok any tips?

I’m glad I caught this question before it runs out of time to answer….4 mins left!!!

Okay, it is ABSOLUTELY alright to dye your hair after your first trimester.
Being in a well ventilated area is a great idea, even outside if it’s nice! You should use Garnier Nutrisse as it’s all natural at-home dye, if you have not dyed your hair already!

It is perfectly safe.


28 weeks pregnant with low pelvic pressure?

Posted by admin on Oct 21, 2009

Im 28 weeks pregnant and having low pelvic pressure. It hurts when i roll over onto my other side and when im getting out of bed. Is this normal what could it be? Im not bleeding or anything.

1) If you’re worried, call your doctor.

2) It sounds normal. The baby is growing and your ligaments are stretching. Just take it easy, stay hydrated and rest until your next appointment. Remember that you have a LOT of nerves for the baby to put pressure on – when you roll over is it a sharp or dull pain?

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t worry too much.
