I have 2 years left. I’m mostly worried about pregnancy symptoms. I have been pregnant before, but had an abortion at 6 weeks due to medical risks. It was very hard for me, as I really wanted to carry on my pregnancy. My husband and I wanted our baby so badly and I have suffered tremendous depression. Pregnancy drained me. I was happy..but didn’t want to eat and was pretty tired. This is coming from a woman who is normally VERY hyper and eats too much (so the not eating part was good..as I still ATE, but just not as much..and not a lot of junk thankfully). I’m worried, however, because I’m in an accelerated program. I do not work, so that is a plus. But were most of you tired ALL day when pregnant..or did short naps do the trick? I’m in school from 8am-2pm Monday through Friday. I usually arrive home before 3:30pm. So I’m trying to think of how I will balance this. I need to be asleep by 10pm, as I wake up at 6:30am, to be to school by 9am. My commute is long I have 6.5 hours per day..but I’m thinking I will need a short nap…which leaves me 3 hours per day to study. Doable right? What do you think? Thanks in advance.

im now 7 weeks pregnant and was on paxil 20mg and because i get terrible panic attacks well the dr put me on wellbutrin and ever since i started taking it ive been getting relly bad symptoms of depression. paxil seems like the only one that has worked for me in the past, Has anyone ever stayed on paxil during pregnancy and if so did you have a healthy baby? and also does anyone know if it hurts the baby when im stressed out and crying all the time?

This leads me to another question. I am an AP and unable to get pregnant. Although I have read about post pregnancy symptoms and problems, I have not experienced them firsthand so I can’t speak for this. And I would think that if the mom had post partum depression, reaction might be a bit different.

In MD, the bmom has 30 days to reverse her decision. Is 30 days enough to recover from birth to the point you can clearly make such a decision?

Ok where do I start. For about 2 weeks I was experiencing some brown blood which I assumed to be my period? I finally came online and saw sometimes is could mean pregnancy but it means it’s a tubal pregnancy or miscarriage. Thing is I had my period, just brown and occasionally only spots of red for almost three weeks! I let that go. I’ve been having sharp pains in my left and right sides and my stomach is hard as a rock and the area below the “gut” and above the vagina is hard(I’ve heard this is linked to pregnancy?) I’ve also had extreme bloating feelings and gas along with diarrhea. And as well as weird cravings and bursts of hunger, but when I eat about 15 min later prob not even I’m having sharp pains. These are all symptoms of pregnancy I’m sure we’ll all agree. I’ve also researched some blogs with people who had the extreme bloating and sharp pains and 98% of them were pregnant.

But, get this. My aunt was diagnosed with Celiac disease(gluten free diet, will eat away your small intestine)and it’s hereditary but she doesn’t even know who she could have got it from. Well let me just copy and paste symptoms I’ve found linked with it, I’ll mark it with * If I have it.

i have been starving all the time for the last three weeks. very unlikely and no explanation…no meds/depression nothing! the only thing is i have no other symptoms except i have been moody.
My boobs feel fine and everything. I’m actually not exactly desiring a pregnancy but also not against the idea. I just don’t know what is causing me to be so hungry. it’s annoying!!!

I am currently almost 18 weeks pregnant. My first child is six. My pregnancy with him was breeze. This time around I have had extreme fatigue, aches and pains, reflux, bad moodiness, depression, bladder infections, and now am in near constant pain (my doctor says due to my tilted uterus growing). Anyone else have a nightmare pregnancy? Did it last a full 9 months? And what were your symptoms?

I have a lovely baby girl on 17th November 2009. Since then, I keep experiencing various strange feelings like dizziness, nausea and the rest, people told me they will soon be over that its just a “baby blue” thing, that withing 6 weeks of my delivery, everything will come back to normal. My baby is now 3 months plus, and those strange feelings is no better, infact, its evern worse. Of recent, I always felt, great burning sensation all over my body. Sometimes, I will feel so weak I cant even life my hands up for a few seconds, those weird pregnancy symptoms I experienced then come back again and is evern worse. In an hour, I will feel like I want to die, in another hour, I felt just fine as if nothing ever happened. What could be wrong with me, are these suppose to be my hormones going back to normal or is there something else. And dont tell me it could be post partum depression because I love my baby alot, but my feelings makes me not to have much time for her. I experienced dizziness, imbalance, and sometimes I cry for no reason. Sometimes also, i feel like i should just die, but no, looking at my pretty angel in the face makes me think again. And for your info, I started seeing my period on 7th of February 2010, and have unprotected sex on friday 12th of february and on monday 15th of february, so I dont know if these symptoms could be related to it also. Please your help will be highly appreciated. God bless you all for your answers

my fiance have been TTC for 9 months, and we decided to give up yesterday. im 6 days late for AF but every HPT i take says negative. i used to rarely have a period, maybe 3 or 4 a year (i think thats pcos? i have cysts in my right ovary) i started having AF every month about 10 months ago. i know i ovulated this month, but for some reason, no AF, no pregnancy symptoms, and negative HPT’s.

my fiance is sad that i dont want to try anymore. but i cant take the heart break of trying and not succeeding. i feel like its my fault we aren’t conceiving. he says its just not our time, but i dont believe it. he’s not the first man i’ve tried with, and i’ve failed with everyone. i get my hopes up, only to have them crushed. i already have depression, which actually went away when we first started trying, up until about 3 months ago when it came back again because we still haven’t gotten pregnant.

my boyfriend and I never use condoms. we believe he is sterile. this past week i have not been acting like myself. ive been very hormonal and ive been having mood swings from massive depression to rage. i suffer from a anxiety disorder and have been having panic attacks left and right. Ive been feeling sick, waking up with headaches and i got so upset this morning i vomited. I usually keep track of my periods in my cell phone calender but my phone broke and i have no idea when my last period was. though i feel like i may get my period any day now.

ok. my girlfriend just got on the shot about a month ago. we started having unprotected sex two weeks after. now she is experiencing symptoms of pregnancy but also side effects from the shot but they are both very similar. pregnancy symptoms she is having: stomach ache, nausea, throwing up, headaches, mood swings, very very sensitive, sometimes body aches. also her stomach makes noises which is really weird. anyways. side effects:change in sex drive, change in appetite or weight gain, depression, hair loss or increased hair on the face or body, headache, nausea, sore breasts. these are both closely related. i also read that the shot will throw off a home pregnancy test so i think the best thing to do is to get blood tested. i would like your opinion. pregnant or just symptoms?
the side effects listed are side effects from the shot. those are not the ones she is experiencing. the side effects she is having is listed under pregnancy symptoms.
