    Hey everyone! I'm sure you all are getting sick of my questions by now, but I have a new one! My fiancé who lives with me was just diagnosed with an h. pylori infection. I know that it is contagious for people that live together. I was just checking if I should go get tested to make sure that I don't have it yet or if there are any precautions I should take while he is trying to get rid of it. Any info will be appreciated.

    H. pylori is fairly common and is also contagious, but does not really harm the baby. If you are concerned, you can just start taking Active Manuka Honey UMF 16+ or higher UMF rating, found in the health food store. The honey causes an environment in the stomach that makes it impossible for it to thrive.

    It's really no necessary, though, unless you are extremely concerned about it. The honey also builds up your immune system and does not harm the baby.

    It would be beneficial for your fiancé too. It cured me of a horrible ulcer I had. You have to be faithful about taking it for many months, though.

    It has been awhile since I have posted on here. I am now 37 weeks along and got checked today for dilation and effacement. I was also checked last week and my doctor told me to expect a little blood. I didn't notice any blood last week but today after I was checked I went to the bathroom about an hour later and noticed a clot of blood (about the size of a nickle) in the toilet. It has been about an hour since I saw that and about 2 hours since I was checked and I am still bleeding a significant amount. I am also having some cramps in my abdominal area. The baby is still moving fine and everything, I just want to make sure everything sounds normal. Also my doctor told me last week that I have already lost my mucous plug.

    Have you called the hospital?

    If your bleeding a significant amount,I think its best to err on the side of caution and ring and speak to someone in the hospital.

    It is common to see blood after being "checked." The cervix is highly "vascular." Any time there is any form of manipulation, either by being checked or intercourse, bleeding is expected and normal. Also, after the cervix is manipulated, there is a release of oxytocin, the hormone that starts labor, and can cause some contractions.

    Time your contractions from the beginning of the first one to the beginning of the next one. Are they regular?

    If all else fails, go to the hospital to get checked out.
