To "cramping in first trimester

Please, please, please go see your doctor. My first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and a D&C, after which we were told to wait no less than two menstrual cycles before trying again. The fact that you've gotten pregnant again only 2 weeks after your D&C is very worrisome.

The cramps you're experiencing could be signs of another miscarriage. Or even worse problems, since it takes a few weeks for the reproductive system to get working right again after a D&C. Please don't risk it - see your doctor.

Boold leaking

When i knew that I am pregnant the next day I cleaned my place and I never knew that i wasn't supposed to get tired or to do hard staff and in the same day we had sex me and husband so in the same day I had blood leaking the color was pink.
I called the Dr. he said that i should take a 4 days rest so thats what i did i took 2 days off from my work with 2 days as weekend and i was sitting all the time and now i am fine concerning the blood but i still have one problem that maybe the baby is not grewing up normaly. The Dr said referring to my counts the baby is late 2 weeks so i will do another test in 2 days to see if the baby is growing normaly in the last 2 weeks. If yes then my counts will be wrong and we start as the Dr counted. If not then i will have to do an abortion. Thank you for giving me the chance to tell my story i needed it.

low pregestrone

I am eights weeks pregnant - jsut seen my baby with a heart beat of 150. My doctor now informs me that my progestrone fell from 14 to 10 and now to 7.5. I am taking 200mg prometrium twice a day and now today, I started to spot. I think this is a sure sign that I am going to miscarry but the fact that I seen my baby and its the correct size for 8 weeks I am hoping. Has anyone else being in the same situation and came out of it. Please let me know. Thank alot.

I am fourteen and a half weeks and i know that from my first trimester that cramping and diarrhea is normal, but not too much and needs to be monitored. The cramping will go away, but you will still get pains in your lower left abdomen. And for me diarrhea only lasted for about a week then I was fine. Just be glad your not constipated.

Pregnant in China

I just found out that I'm pregnant. My fiance and I planned on getting married in December, and have been having unprotected sex for about five months, although trying to time things as to not get pregnant. I'm American but I live in China and run a school here, and my fiance is Chinese

Anyhow, my period was late by a few days, but it is usually fairly regular. My breasts have been tender, but this happens to me before my period too, so I wasn't too worried. I decided to take a home pregnancy test today anyhow (they're pretty cheap here, only about 1dollar, but they're just the same as the ones back home), and it came up positive.

I'm going to tell my fiance later today -- he doesn't know yet, but he's been talking about having a baby for a few months and is pretty keen on becoming a father. I'm 26 and he's 33 and we both have decent jobs here in China, so even though it wasn't exactly planned, it's still a happy occasion. I'm a little bit worried about being pregnant and giving birth in this country, but then again, China has a huge population, so they must be doing ok in the birthing department :)

I think I must be about three or four weeks along. According to my research online, I'll be due on March 28th, which is actually my younger brother's birthday, how cool!
