I haven't asked a doctor yet, I really dislike them. Is any mom ever sick in her second week?

No, I wouldnt think you would be sick in the second week of your pregnancy. You know, if you are pregnant you are going to have to get over your dislike of doctors and see one for the safety of you and you baby.

If you are pregnant it is an absolute necessity to see a doctor. For the sake of yourself, but mostly for the sake of your baby.

Many women are sick the second week of pregnancy, all the way through the 12 week, some even the entire pregnancy.

Do you know for sure if you are pregnant?

Ummm, I thought so. I could be. GOOD!
NO ladies...we do NOT need to go to a doctor, there are such fantastic professionals called MIDWIVES

J_9

Midwives/doctors.....Even with a midwife you need to be followed by a doctor. Midwives are not (at least the country where I live) trained to handle unexpected life threatening emergencies.

I agree with J-9 regarding the doctor follow up, but here in Ontario midwives are allowed to attend in a hospital environment) and they have proven themselves to be quite useful. I would say the trend has far exceeded expectations from what I have read here and I am pleased to say, breast feeding is on the rise !! Mainly suppressed in the city because so many people complained about the old breast popping out anywhere (a large exaggeration to be sure!). Women nowadays keep it 'under wraps' (another play on words) to make sure they can breast feed at a moments notice.

Good luck, girl and enjoy your pregnancy, they are really quite fun and a whole new awakening especially if you are sharing it with a loved one.

Yes, midwives are able to practice in the Labor & Delivery setting here in the US also. The trend is on the rise here as well. However, when there is a complication, such as placenta abruptio for example, the obstetrician steps in and does the necessary immediate C-Section. You see, midwives are not allowed to perform surgery and they are to turn over extremely high risk patients, such as those with eclampsia.

Midwives have there place, there is no doubt in my mind.....However, a physician usually follows a pregnancy to monitor for high risk categories should the need arise for immediate delivery.

Well here this will annoy you but inform others, NO DOCTORS.,

they are NOT the end all be all, and your blind and deaf devotion is hardly knowledgeable..quote statistically how MANY deaths, deformities, and injuries to babies and mothers are done BY THE DOCTORS

no way, jose..a doula and a midwife, at home in a pool. For real health, and for real happiness, and for real peace, not surgical instruments and fear and rudeness and obstruction of justice when they cause the harm, and their hospital covers it up. Lying too.

Mothers to be, you do NOT need to be in a hospital, where absolute JERKS making millions and practising deceit and dishonesty pass around slave like phrases through word of mouth, to keep the fear revolving door happening.


Whatever kind of dream birth YOU dream, is YOUR best intuition. And tell these pushy nurses etc to quit peddling centuries of oppression to women who delivered at home, for each other, since humans began..

we deliver for each other, knowledgeably, skilled or unskilled, with strategy and planning.

Without fear.

We surround ourselves with Love, warmth, comforts and patience.
And gee, healthy or unhealthy, babies are born, and cared for, and the hospital does not OWN them, and remove them from our arms, and whisper to you you are wrong for this, or wrong for that, you have a suction nearby for mucus and remove choking diffiiculty, you have heart monitors and so on, and you just let nature take its course.

OF COURSE you go to check ups wherever you want, and learn your baby from day one in side

but never ever ever swallow this sham that only a hospital, blah blah balh
that is a closed mind

not the joy and breathing freedom we profess to uphold

all of my life, and my daughter's life aged 7, my mother her mimi, gramma has USED hospitals and nurses and doctors to get medicines to poison us in our bottles and in our mouths and by force as you age, while these same doctors feel the fractures, and the dislocations, and the bruises are photographed by the polivces, and so on a nd so forth and not ONE doctor I ever wrote to has stood up, not even pediatricians, to stop her Munchausen Syndrome by proxy murdering us.and the other abuses and the starvations, all of the doctors ALL of them through\out her lifetime, my sisters mine, my dead brothers, my nephews, my dad post coma, my daughter now..all doctors and nurses never call cps, never cooperate with police, never turn her in, never video camera her stealing , never write me back, never write the DA, never STOP HER


and these conspirators of attempted repeat, repeat ER murderers want in on that action of touching your baby before you do, and telling you if you can even hold your own baby, and then walking off with your own baby.

The trust these two show, is sadly ignorant, and dumb. Because we KNOW better, and some NOT ALL OF US some are still riding that wheel ,


mothers do not have to.

J_9

Doesn't annoy me at all. But what I have to say will annoy you.


MY blind and deaf devotion? Looks like you are the one who is blind and deaf.


Wow, you are grossly misinformed. How do you know that they are the ONLY ones who cause harm? How do you? I personally have worked with a midwife who broke the water of a lady in labor way too early, her labor did not progress as expected and the doctor was called in to do a stat C-Section so that the infant did not get hypoxia and suffer irreversible brain damage that would have been caused by the midwife.


I AM A NURSE IN A HOSPITAL AND I AM NOT A JERK, NOR ARE ANY OF THE DOCTORS OR MIDWIVES I WORK FOR. We don't practice deceit, we are not dishonest.


PUSHY NURSES!!! LMFAO Apparently you have had some bad experiences. We use birthing balls, we use mediation and relaxation, we use birthing pools, and birthing beds. We cater to whatever the mother wants.


Hun, your brain has been poisoned. By whom I do not know. But you are so full of misinformation.

tickle

These two, as you say and maybe not speaking for J-9 who I know is a mother and a nurse and a very qualified one I believe. I am not a nurse but a Personal Support Worker.

I had my son in a hospital during a very rough time in my life, I was 39 and not even in my own country.. Some said it was an age that was very difficult to have babies. He was lovely, small, but strong and is now 25. I didnt have a bad experience, it was lovely for me.

Your post is full of bitterness and vitreol and I feel sorry for you that you write as you do about doctors and nurses, who may have to save you, or your children one day.

Shame on you for writing as you did. What did we say to you that earned such disrespect and mean spirited words, because you said 'these two' and we were the only two who answered your post. Your past experiences were nothing of our doing.
