Thank youuu.
My first appt will I get an ultra sound to see how the baby's doing?
OR when will I first get an ultra sound?

Every doctor's office is different. Some do an ultrasound right away, yet others wait. It also depends on your insurance as to when and how many ultrasounds are done.

Ok thank you. I can't wait to go to the doctor now.

I have another question, I heard from a friend that at 3 months you have to get blood drawn. About 8 pints? Is this true?
And if so why?

J_9 · Oct 18, 2009, 03:15 PM

You don't get 8 pints drawn. That's excessive. You get a small amount of blood drawn. The reason is to determine your blood type, RH factor, Immunities, as well as HIV status.

stylistjennifer · Oct 19, 2009, 09:32 AM

Oh OK, so you do get your blood drawn again at 3 months?
I just don't like doing that.
Also, how far along usually till you can find out what your having?

J_9 · Oct 20, 2009, 06:24 AM

They may draw your blood again at 3 months, it all depends on the doctor. But we DO draw blood when you come in to the hospital in labor as well.

You find out what you are having typically around 20 weeks.

How well does the gender predictor test work? That you can buy from walgreens.

KARIEMELIA · Oct 21, 2009, 01:21 PM

I have read reviews on that gender prediction test, and what I gathered from all of it was: it was a fun test to take but accuracy-wise... wasn't too good!

Oh okay, thanks.
What are the best things to do to help pay for the pregnancy?

Is it OK to bleed some during pregnancy?
Last night I was bleeding some and I'm 8 weeks.

J_9 · Oct 30, 2009, 07:01 AM

Were you cramping at all? You were "bleeding some." Can you describe "some?"

How much?
How little?
Bright red?
Dark brown?
Enough to wear a pad or not?

I missed this, but I'm not sure I understand it. Can you make payment arrangements with the doctor and/or hospital?

stylistjennifer · Oct 30, 2009, 07:21 AM

My stomach was hurting some, but not cramping really just kind of hurting but not bad.
And it was like brown blood, not too much.

I haven't been to the doctor yet, because I have been trying to figure out about money and went applied for medicaid.

Hey there, I just wanted to let you know I had a misscarage Sunday night. I went to the er and that's what they told me. Its been very hard.
My question now is, if this happens my first time. Will it be harder for me to get pregnant again or I'm just scared to have this happen again now.

J_9 · Nov 3, 2009, 08:14 AM

I'm sorry to hear your news.

Now, it shouldn't be hard to get pregnant again... AFTER your body has healed.

stylistjennifer · Nov 3, 2009, 08:16 AM

I'm just scared to have a misscarage again.
Are there things to help that?

J_9 · Nov 3, 2009, 08:21 AM

Every woman who miscarries is afraid it will happen again, you are not alone.

You just have to rely on nature and understand that when it is right the baby will fully develop.

stylistjennifer · Nov 3, 2009, 08:27 AM

OK thank you, I just needed some one to tell me. So I don't worry.
