Becca asked:


I have polly systic overies, and i have been showing signs of pregnancy, but cant take the OTC prego test, because of my systs, it dosent detect the pregnancy hormone. Will the blood test work or no, and if not then how can i tell if i am truely pregnant? This is causing great stress in my relationship to my boy friend and my self, because we dont know what to do first. Since Money is an issue, ccan you guys help to find out if there are possibiltys of a free blood test some where? At a possible hospitle here in Burlington, Iowa, or what i need to do to look into that. Thanks.

Myself and another women at work got pregnant at the same time, but yesterday found out she miscarried.I am 9 weeks pregnant and she would have been 8. She has been very short with me, and asked another girl to ask me to take my pregnancy screensaver off of my computer. I have miscarried twice and understand what she is going through, but how do i continue to be happy and share the news with others i work with without hurting her.

I already have the “What to expect when you are expecting” series, what else was useful for you?

What books on parenting have been worth buying for you?

What about pregnancy books? Which ones could you not live without?

My husband and I are first time parents and need some direction! Thanks!

I have been on the depo shot so I have’nt had a period in a while. I want to go take a blood test because I hear that they can detect pregnancy before a home test. Is this right and if so how long should I wait for accurate results?

I took a pregnancy test a week ago in a family planning clinic and they told me they still don’t have the result. They also said that positive results usually show up early as compared to negative.
By the way, it’s a urine test at a clinic.

I just found out via home pregnancy test that I am pregnant. I have an appt with my obgyn tomorrow so I’m not sure how many weeks, but I have noticed that in one week I have gone from 135 to 142. (I’m 5′2) My appetite has increased, but is it weight i’m gaining cuz of my appetite, or the baby?
Also thanks to those who advised me to take the test rather than waiting for another week!

I think I’m pregnant and I’m not sure. But when my boobs are lighly tapped or touch, they hurt. It’s only been about 2 weeks since the conception (if im pregnant) so does anyone know if this is pregnancy or my period?

I am just curious, because I swear that last night I felt the fetus move, but I am not sure, as it’s my first pregnancy. So, just wondering how far I’d have to be before I would be able to feel any movement.

Christy R asked:


I’m going threw my second pregnancy. With my first pregnancy I gained so much weight. Way over the reconmended weight that women should gain during pregnancy. Eventhough, the weight came off pretty fast after the birth. I have heard that it is harder to lose the weight the second time around. I want to try and maintain a healthy pregnancy weight. Any suggestions to help?
